This is a fun sport for your self or as a family. Its basically TREASURE HUNTING. You use your GPS unit to find buckets and containers full of many different things. The web site has all the waypoints and tips on finding them. When you find one you choose to keep something and place something back into the container then sign the log book. then log your find onto the website. The website has more info on it. If you live around me and wanna give it a try and have a GPS unit contact me and ill show you how to get started. good luck all.

Another benefit is that it teaches you how to use your GPS more effectively which could save your bacon should you ever become lost. Of course this doesn't mean you shouldn't learn how to use a compass and map for the same reason. Batteries do fail.
