recce for tumbleweed will be a two pass, one called recce and the other is called a transit.
Two pass recce is all you need to write notes.
Steve and i are very formal about it.
No conversation, about the road or anything els.
We use the Jemba Language to keep a constant lingo for the year.
not a compleate list but a place to start

First pass Steve reads the road as I write it down. I do not add anything to the conversation.
Second pass i read the notes back without note stacking. (call the corner just before the car would turn) Steve will add cuts and corrections only, no other talking.
The notes we write in this manner are near perfect.
We do not carry any passengers, last thing i need is a debate about a corner that happened 3 back as the car is moving. i have missed several notes with passengers and its hard to find ware you are in notes once you lost in them.
Scott or Mitch are the worst for passengers. f--n jabber mouths.
