They're definitely not bored this time of year...

There are some hand held laser type measuring devices available too.
I can't remember any brand names off hand. Would it be worth while to
buy a used total station on Ebay then resell it when you're done?

I'll use anything enough to be worth a certain amount (just not $20k
); no handheld laser will make a 1/2-mile and there are too many places
where there are enough rises/draws can't see over that the GPS would
have the big advantage if can work out what is cost-effective.
