This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

NCEES Trackable: Big Island of Hawaii Edition is a NCEES Trackable Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

The sole mission of this travel bug is to visit the following shield volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaii while grabbing benchmarks along the way!

The Island of Hawaiʻi is built from five separate shield volcanoes that erupted somewhat sequentially, one overlapping the other. These are (from oldest to youngest):

• Kohala—extinct
• Mauna Kea—dormant
• Hualālai—active
• Mauna Loa—active, partly within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
• Kīlauea—active: has been erupting continuously since 1983; part of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park

Please see the attached image of the Big Island for reference.
