Need good distance guessers (big photo)

186 yards. When you find out the distance you are going to post it right? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Need to make sure I have enough cable to go from the top of the hill (where the two little buildings are) to the bottom. This hill is in Colorado and I am in Oklahoma or I would just go measure it

This was in what he said in his second post. He later said that this is a ski resort and he is putting in a picture system.

Great guesses guys, especially the scientific ones. According to my camera test it is more or less 400 feet to the two buildings, of course I could be wrong. Week after next I will know for sure and report back what it actually is.

Gotta run, will follow up when I have more time.
Thanks,
Bob

It's a long par three even from the back tees.

well instead of putting cable in why not just use a transmitter and a reciver and do it in the air /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Bob - We're heading up to the ski areas this weekend and I remembered this thread. Just curious if you got the exact measurement?

BobReeves · Jan 2, 2004

Oh ya almost forgot, it was right at 500 foot to the top of the hill so we were pretty close. My technician is still in Vail, among other problems seems as though the resort can't keep the power on and the cameras keep freezing up.

Whole different world than what we normaly work in. Makes me appreciate warm summer nights in amusement parks.

CTyler 500' (+)
DurBob 458' 8" ?
Bird 500-600'
DAVENH 175 yards (525')
Tractors4u 186 yards (558')

I say DurBob wins a new CUT for his specific estimate.
CTyler gets a backhoe. (Shoulda' left off the "+")
DaveNH gets a FEL
Tractors4U and Bird get their choice of Disc or Rotary Cutter.
