The Mues family has just found the hidden treasure.
A rusty box sitting on a tree stump filled with surprises.
"It's a little box with trinkets in it maybe, or just a little capsule with a log in it that you sign to say you were there."
Bruce Mues and his grandchildren are "geocaching," playing a global game of outdoor treasure hunting.
"I've been actively geocaching since early 2007," Mues says.
The game has been around for just over a decade but now it's picking up in the Panhandle.
Using the Internet people around the world place "caches" in secret locations and submit the coordinates online.
Participants then load the data onto their GPS enabled devices and set out to find the hidden treasure.
"People get very creative on their cache hides. Some people have made them blend in with the environment, whether it's a stump that's been hollowed out or just an old 35 mm film canister they have hid somewhere."
With more than 1,000 geocaches under his belt Mues says the game has shown him things he wouldn't normally see.
"Historical markers and places of interest that are just fascinating you would have never known where there otherwise."
But for Mues and other geocachers it's not about the prize at the end of the journey, it's the journey that's the real prize.
"You know you get up out of the house away from the TV theirs some hiking involved maybe some biking if your on the pathway."
After five years of geocaching Mues and his wife are taking the next generation of geocachers on their adventure.
