Hello everyone,

Be aware that a survey truck and a lot of equipment was recently stolen in Folsom. Here is the message from R.E.Y. Engineering along with photos of the suspect:

"Survey community, 

I hope you don't mind I am taking the time to send you this email but I think that it's important to come together in situations like this. Our company was robbed of two laser scanners, four total stations, four R10's, a level and a survey truck. All this totals to about $350,000 of survey equipment. Pl

Yes! Now you can buy a GNSS GPS for under 1000 US Dollars. Emlid has created “Reach RS” GPS for the cheapest price. So that ever-ready surveying, mapping and data collection can be done with centimeter accuracy.

Travel safety. It’s a real concern, given the nature of the world today. And yet, we love it, and we continue to transport ourselves around the world for those new experiences.

There are some things we cannot control, no matter where we are. A pickpocket may target us; we might eat in a “questionable” place, drink the water, and end up with some serious intestinal issues; we might even be the victim of a more serious crime. Those of us who travel a lot or for long periods of time to think about s

Gun at the Airport

I was at the airport on the way home from a work trip, carrying our survey instrument.

An enthusiastic young man approached me and asked rather loudly, "is that a gun??"

Dude. Be cool. We're at the airport. It's called a "total station".  Haha.
