It's not a typical Saturday for Linda Bluem.

"Climbing over trees and bushes, the trails, you're getting off the trail sometimes and finding things that are sometimes challenging to get to," she said.
>
But, when a cache awaits, Bluem says she's willing to trek through the woods, climb a hill, even pass through tunnels to find that hidden site.
>
"It's very rewarding when you find them, very rewarding to open that box and see what's inside," she said.
>
With the help of a local instructor, Bluem went Geocaching for the first time on Saturday. Now, she's says she's hooked on a hobby expert, Claire Foltz calls a GPS adventure game.
>
"We like to say it's a big boys treasure hunt," Foltz said.
>
The hunt begins simply. Foltz says all you need is coordinates, a hand-held GPS and the willingness to explore.
>
"You look on the computer to get your coordinates and then you can go all over the world and track things down," she said.
>
Those things are called caches and can be anything from a simple log book to a larger case or canister.
>
"There are coins and travel buddies that you'll find inside, we call them travel buddies because you can take them and move them from cache to cache," Foltz said.
>
But, for most it's not the reward inside that's important, it's the fun of getting there.
>
"It's very motivating, Geocaching is," Bluem said. "To get out and get some exercise, this is Wisconsin and this really gets you out into the Wisconsin woods."
>
And for those searching for more, Foltz says the sport stretches far beyond Wisconsin, you'll find caches throughout the world.
>
"There's all kinds of different sites, you can do all cemeteries, you can do all waterfalls, there's just so many ways to do it and have fun," she said.
>
So get out and explore, adventure awaits.
