3 Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon | www.plso.org co-leading with Marshal Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon, aka Marshal Rondon, on the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition of 1914 to map the Rio da Duvida (River of Doubt) and document previously unknown flora and fauna. The Rio da Duvida is now named the Rio Teodoro (Roosevelt River). Sometimes we will be a “myth buster” in our daily work. Recently I had a call from a lady who was sure that the corners marked by a local survey firm and the line of lath between them were wrong. So, I agreed to check them. The reason the line was staked was because the adjoining owner had trimmed some branches of my client’s tree while my client was in Spain. The adjoining owner had hired another survey firm to stake the line. Long story short, I was able to verify the accuracy of what the firm had done. My client, while being disappointed, did write a check and said, “At least now I know where the line is.” Oh . . . the branches in question did overhang the adjoiner’s property. However, they had been cut back to the trunk which is entirely on my client’s property. So, be careful out there and if you must be a myth buster do it with grace and professionalism.
