16 May Water Fall
Kole Egbert: “Frizz didn’t fall into the water, but he did slide down the muddy hill on his backside…”
Our field surveyors get lots of opportunities to get wet, but this wasn’t one of them for Craig “Frizz” Frilling. If it looks like he’s standing in the water in the photo, look again… he’s not! Official career score – Frizz: 1, Water: 364.
Surveying in the field isn’t just about collecting data—it’s about collecting experiences. And if you were to follow Frizz or the other Choice One surveyors, you know they have a bingo card full of “experiences”:
- Truck stuck in mud
- Honked at by a passing car
- Caught on Google Earth
- Wore earplugs to drown out cicadas
- Sunburn in March
- Curious Dog
- Burrito recommendation from a stranger
- Chased by a goose
- Played Marco Polo in the woods to find coworkers
- Dodged lawn sprinklers
- Starred in “feature” film
Bingo? For sure—but we’re pretty certain Frizz is working toward a cover-all. Frizz didn’t fall in this time, but the mud made sure he didn’t leave clean. Slid down a hill? Check. Almost fell in? Check. Got the shot? Always.
