Geocaching is absolutely the best game ever created. It utilizes the latest technology, outdoor fun, creative thinking, good exercise, and is fairly cheap to do. What else could you ask for?

If a fun, not so serious outdoor adventure/challenge with no expectations might clear your mind, pick a treasure that sounds enticing enough to look for. Something like a waterfall or diamonds(?) or some salamanders, maybe an artifact, or just a good time.  It could be a good way to get out and have a nice change.  You might bring pets, cameras, journals, etc.  Even if you don't want to join, I could use suggestions for the adventures.
