A treasure hunt doesn’t require a voyage to a deserted island or foreign country. People all across the state can partake in a search for hidden treasures through the new trend of geocaching, a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Instead of a map with “X” marking the spot, geocachers use a GPS device or app with specific coordinates to find buried treasure left by others.
