first, absolutely fascinating topic, and solid write up. i skimmed through certain bits but am wondering: "Turns out, the survey was off a lot more than any of us expected" did you mean off from the title, or the surveyor's work? (also, since you're in Canada, allow me to quote Les Stroud: "if you sweat, then you die" sweating is actually the easiest way to get cold heh, you brought sweat up in the same paragraph)
second, i'm a musician who lives in Anchorage. i'm a recovering programmer. a good friend of mine is a recovering surveyor, and he runs Trapper Creek music festival up here, 15 years and counting. since you said you mounted equipment on a mic stand you just happened to have -- wondering if that event you were planning for was music related :-D

The data from GeoNB was way off from what the surveyor properly located.
There may be a band, but I just happened to have an old mic stand handy for that temporary test :D
