Get ready for fun, teamwork, and healthy competition. The scavenger hunt idea can be applied to practically any occasion or theme. Create a Photo Hunt where teams must take pictures of hard-to-find objects. Or an ABC Hunt for objects starting with each letter of the alphabet. Challenge yourself to organize a game and explore your surroundings in an unexpected way.

(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)

  • Didn’t see geocaching on the list. Geocaching is a hiking, hide and seek treasure-type hunt that involves a GPSr and some legwork. The idea is based off an old English treasure hunt called letterboxing, but this version requires either a GPS unit, or really, really accurate maps.
    My fiance and I have been geocaching off and on since 2001, and since March 21st of this year, we have gone hiking once a day to find these “treasures” in the woods. Today’s walk was 2 miles, and we found 3 geocaches along the Hamburg Trail in Weldon Springs, MO. On other days we have foraged for mushrooms while geocaching, bicycled while geocaching, or even visited museums and National parks while caching. The challenge of finding these is one of the things that gets me off my butt and moving.

  • Alton, Illinois today; a couple of geocaches, not much hiking. Our scavenger hunt did lead us to a slew of white pelicans near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi riveres (though confluence park was closed because of all the flooding we’ve been having) did find 2 caches, neither of them much effort, and saw an osprey at the Louis and Clark Community College. All in all a nice Saturday morning.

  • Skipped a day. Found a cache in Leonard Park today, with Justified.
