Our Adventure to Lincoln County yesterday, gender reveal at the inlaws and today we ventured out to Eldorado lake for a little bit. Cooper loves to look for rocks like we do. 🫶🏻

🫙💵 A Quick Update on the Lincoln County $100 Hunt 💵🫙
It appears the jar at McReynolds Park may have already been found, but we haven't heard from the finder yet. 👀
If you found the jar, could you please send us a quick message and let us know? We'd love to mark the hunt as complete and hear a little about your adventure.
And don't worry — if you'd rather not be identified online, that's completely fine. We can simply announce that the jar was found by someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 😊
We appreciate everyone who takes the time to let us know when a jar has been found. It helps us keep everyone updated and prevents others from making unnecessary trips.
Thank you, and as always...
🗺️ Adventure is closer than you think. 💛

🌊💵 The $100 jar has been hidden! 💵🌊
This week’s hunt will take you to McReynolds Park, just south of Lincoln. 👀
The jar is hidden somewhere among the rocks near the waterfall area. Take your time, enjoy the scenery, and keep your eyes open — sometimes the best hiding spots blend right into their surroundings. 🪨

As always: ✅ No digging
✅ No damaging anything
✅ Leave the area as you found it

Good luck to everyone heading out to search! And if you go today, don’t forget to snap a few photos of the waterfall while you’re there — it’s a beautiful little spot. 📸
🗺️ Adventure is closer than you think.

Tomorrow’s adventure is taking us to Lincoln County as we hide the next $100 jar! 👀🫙

As always, we’ll reveal the exact location once the jar is hidden, so keep an eye on the page for updates. 👀
Who’s ready for a chance at $100? 💵🔥

Our road trip today to Pawnee County. The last video is the house I grew up in out by Quivera Wildlife Refuge. Nick had never been to Alden and if you know Sterling, you would know the two are very connected with the school and other means. I grew up with an Alden address, Sterling phone number and we lived in Reno County. We had so much fun exploring today. Hope you all enjoyed the photos.

Most of them are Pawnee Rock. 🫶🏻

Congratulations to Jenn and Jeff, who found the $100 jar hidden among the rocks at Pawnee Rock State Historic Site!
We also learned something new today thanks to our winners. 😅 We announced this hunt as being in Pawnee County, but Jenn and Jeff kindly informed us that Pawnee Rock is actually located in Barton County. Looks like we accidentally gave everyone a little Kansas geography lesson along with today's treasure hunt!
Thank you to everyone who came out and explored with us. Whether you found the jar or not, we hope you enjoyed getting outside and visiting one of Kansas' most historic landmarks.
Congratulations again to Jenn and Jeff, and we'll see everyone at the next hunt!
❤️ Adventure is closer than you think.

This weekend we’ll be taking a break from our hunts. 🌻
We hope everyone has an amazing Memorial Day weekend filled with good food, safe travels, and time spent with family and friends.
Most importantly, we want to take a moment to remember and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸
We’re also incredibly grateful for all who have served and continue to serve. Your sacrifice, courage, and dedication will never be forgotten. 🫶🏻
Take some time this weekend to appreciate the people around you and the freedoms we often take for granted.
We’ll see you all back out exploring Kansas next weekend.

We’ve been talking a lot lately about the future of our hunts. 👀💰
With gas prices, travel costs, and how much driving we’ve been doing across Kansas, we’re thinking about changing things up a little…
Instead of weekly hunts, we may start doing them every other week.
BUT… there’s a catch.

We’re thinking about increasing the prize from $50 to $100 for each hunt to make them even bigger and more exciting.
This would help us continue exploring more of Kansas while still making the hunts fun and worthwhile for everyone 🌻
What do you guys think??

Would you rather have:
👉 Weekly $50 hunts
or
👉 Biweekly $100 hunts 👀💰
We’d love to hear your thoughts!

These videos and photos are from Olpe/Emporia from yesterday after we finished hiding the jar.
