Survey Project Dave Scott, 2007 A section of street is selected. With my foot, I make a mark in snow at the edge of the street and begin walking at a normal gait and speed. When I can no longer see my mark in the snow, I stop to make a new mark. Distance between marks is measured by the number of steps I have taken before losing sight of the previous mark. I make note of the number of steps I have taken and begin walking again, repeating the procedure. Distances between marks is found to be unequal, due to curvature of the street, depth of the snow, and other variables. By making marks and measuring the distance between them, I am surveying the landscape. A survey of this section of the street gives me the following information: Starting Point - 0 steps Starting Point to Mark 1 - 18 steps Mark 1 to Mark 2 - 5 steps Mark 2 to Mark 3 - 14 steps Mark 3 to Mark 4 - 20 steps Mark 4 to Mark 5 - 21 steps Mark 5 to Mark 6 - 16 steps Total distance covered - 94 steps
