A few years ago, our family discovered geocaching. For those unfamiliar, it is using your GPS to find a treasure box hidden and logged on the internet by someone else. You’d be surprised how many there are all over the country. We are apparently getting close to having found and logged 100 geocaches. Dave has gotten excited about reaching that mark and asks pretty much at every stop if we want to geocache. The great thing about geocaching is that it is free and usually takes a small amount of time – perfect for stops along a long drive. We’ve taken to looking for them when we stop for lunch – found one at a Wendy’s and then beside Home Depot and then one near Sonic. We’ve found them at rest stops when we make a quick bathroom break. This one was a nice one in Montana, I think. The film canister had actually fallen (or possibly thrown) under the rock, and it required teamwork to get it out and put back in a better spot. 
Occasionally, we cannot find it no matter how hard we try (even with my sneaking a look at the hints and other logs about it). Zack and Dave are the best hunters. They will keep at it for a long time. The rest of us put forth our best effort for a short while and then settle into watch them look, usually unsuccessfully by this point.
