A coworker just told me about this news story (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/books/06/02/books.treasurehunt.ap/index.html). Apparently it's a children's book (A Treasure's Trove (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0976061805/qid=1117742902/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-4297196-8152802?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)) with real life hidden treasures hidden in the continental US. Sounds like it combines geocaching's thrill of the hunt with puzzle solving and a payoff worth big bucks, like $25,000+!! I'm gonna make sure my kids read the book and get right to work on the puzzles! :eek:

There are several clubs dedicated to this kind of treasure hunting. I've enclosed one link. I'm sure if you did an internet search you would find many more. http://www.treasureclub.net/
