The NCEES Surveyor Trackable

Geocachers and Professional Surveyors (P.S.) share a passion for technology and the outdoors. They both use GPS and surrounding clues to locate hidden marks or objects. But there is a difference. Professional surveyors take that passion for technology and the outdoors to a higher level and turn it into a career. The NCEES Surveyor Trackable captures that shared passion and brings the surveying profession to life for geocachers. Once you find an NCEES Surveyor Trackable, use its unique code to log it and keep it moving by placing it in another geocache. Before you know it, it will be exploring and mapping the great outdoors just like a Professional Surveyor (P.S.).

The NCEES Surveyor Trackable photo contest has ended, as of June 1, 2015. Please continue the fun and take photos at a National Geodetic Survey (NGS) marker and share it on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #PSnoboundaries! Visit geocaching.com/mark to learn about locating NGS survey markers.

NCEES #PSnoboundaries PHOTO CONTEST: The NCEES Surveyor Trackable Photo Contest is solely sponsored by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). Open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands who are 18 years and older at time of entry. Entry period for the contest commences at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on March 17, 2015, and expires at 11:59 PM (EDT) on June 1, 2015. Void where prohibited. For details and restrictions, see Contest Official Rules on the NCEES website.

About This Item

A career as a professional surveyor is a career without boundaries. #PSnoboundaries

Geocachers and Professional Surveyors (P.S.) share a passion for technology and the outdoors. They both use GPS and surrounding clues to locate hidden marks or objects. But there is a difference. Professional surveyors take that passion for technology and the outdoors to a higher level and turn it into a career.

On March 17, 2015, NCEES released 2,500 NCEES Surveyor Trackables to celebrate National Surveyors Week. Find one before June 1, 2015, and you’ll be eligible to participate in the #PSnoboundaries Photo Contest. NCEES will select one lucky geocacher to win a trip for two to the 2015 Geocaching Block Party in Seattle!

#PSnoboundaries Photo Contest

Professional Surveyors use GPS to establish and locate survey markers to map the world. Once you find an NCEES Surveyor Trackable, share a photo of yourself and the trackable at a National Geodetic Survey (NGS) survey marker using the hashtag #PSnoboundaries on Facebook or Twitter on or before June 1, 2015. See Details.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 7/2/2021 LordArrior grabbed it   Visit Log

Just got this and several others from a friend who had to retire from geocaching due to health issues. He's felt bad for years, he always meant to drop off the TBs in his possession, but never got around to it. I offered to do it for him, I've always been interested in the hobby but hadn't really started.

I'll get this moved out to a cache so that it can resume it's journey. I'll drop it off soon, once I find a safe cache that's big enough.

Happy travels!
