Use a GPS receiver to locate a hidden object, sometimes a large box (ammo can) and sometimes as small as pen cap. Full website that I use is
here. The kids like it because its a \"treasure hunt\". The larger boxes usually have little toys and misc items that you swap for. The smallest ones may just have a piece of paper saying you found it.
My son was ecstatic because one we found had a Gingerbreadman toy from McDonald\'s that he was wanting. We refuse to go to eat there, except in VERY rare cases so he missed the opportunity to get it.
And for comparison, the contest month I entered was September, so that\'s the picture I was referring to. Its currently at the bottom. I could have sworn that \"no photoshopping\" was in the rules, but couldn\'t find it now.
