Distances and Waypoints on Griggs Reservoir
What are the distances between the various landmarks on Griggs?
I've been very interested for a while in the actual distances between the various landmarks on Griggs to be able to accurately gauge our progress. A few years I purchased a GPS receiver that can pinpoint a position on the earth's surface to less than 5 meters (about half a stroke or 15 feet). A diagram with distances I determined is below ...
Here are the various readings and distances it calculated (all measurements taken about 50 feet off shore proceeding north in order:
GCRA dock (north edge) ===================================
(N 40/01.091' W 83/05.741') | | | |
280m | | |
| | | |
SBC crane (north edge) ==== 1260m = | =============== | ==
(N 40/01.243' W 83/05.727') | | | |
980m | 3320m |
| | | |
Fishinger Bridge (south edge) ============ | =============== | ==
(N 40/01.770' W 83/05.677') | | | | |
2070m | | | 5770m
| | | | |
Power Wire (biggest cable) ================== | = 2550m = | ==
(N 40/02.882' W 83/05.761') | | |
4510m | |
| | |
Hole in The Wall (south end) ================== | ========= | ==
(N 40/03.144' W 83/05.783') | | |
1960m | |
| | |
Hayden Run Bridge (south end) ===================================
(N 40/04.089' W 83/06.396')
If there are other measurements you need taken, let me know and I'll gather it during a practice. I'm now looking at more subtle landmarks that can help in acquiring splits for long pieces. -- Scott Dybiec
