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.

I'm on a caching road trip to Indianapolis. Grabbing new counties and swapping TB's along the way. I love finding old caches. Especially these virtual caches. Thanks for bringing me to this area. I stayed way longer than i expected. And i would have missed the 9/11 Memorial. As a full-time police officer, part-time EMT, volunteer fire fighter, Rescue Squad member, and rescue/recovery diver... that is very important to me personally. The memorial is across the street. It incorporates two steel beams, one from each tower, and a piece of the Pentagon. Another must-see memorial.
