Back from ACSM

I'm back from the ACSM conference in Spokane, WA. Attended workshops on Wednesday and Thursday and thought they were worthwhile. The conference seemed a bit smaller than times past - probably because so many states have their state conference in March and Spokane is a bit out of the way on a national conference scale. One of the presenters in a workshop asked for a show of hands and about 75% were from the Washington area. It was a worthwhile time, however, and I got 2 years of Texas CEU's taken care of.

I attended a session on the Washington State Reference Network. Pretty impressive effort. I haven't had a chance to look at the web site, but this is the wave of the future - really, the wave of the present. New Mexico is about 7 to 10 years behind this, but at some point we will get caught up. There seems to be some valuable downloads at this site concerning RTNs - some light weekend reading I'm sure...

Historic Maps

If you like old, historic maps, there are some cool ones here. I'm off to the ACSM conference. Will be back on line in a couple of days...
