Counting counties aka keeping track of every county you visit. My husband has this hobby, and sometimes on road trips we drive way out of the way for him to grab a new county.

He should combine this with geocaching. You get to see a map of where you've been

He uses a special website to keep track because apparently he is not alone in that hobby. But I like your idea! I’ve wanted to get into geocaching but never got around to it.

It's more commercialised than it used to be, but I do still get a subscription for the summer months and it's always worth it. I've done many great hikes and been to places I'd never have gone too. I also really don't mind not finding something, there's a very good reason why someone brought you there and I like to enjoy that more.

Do build up the difficulty and terrain when you start out, it can be treacherous past 3. As with any puzzle there're rules you can follow to make it easier. I'd recommend it anyone!
