Geocaching sounds like a great idea, because if Mississippi is like Arkansas, a lot of the significant points have not been accessed. (I think I saw a thing once where people were marking the places where longitude and latitude intersected or something like that.) There is one of those near us, but someone already marked it or whatever they do. (I don't geocache but I know someone who does, and I've read about it.)

There are people who simply try to visit every single county in America. You can do that on a smaller scale. I like to do that around here, when I get bored I drive to the small towns near me and see what life is like there (it's usually not that different than my house, but if I go in a flea market or something, I might find something I didn't know I was looking for).

Those kinds of traveling things, like Volksmarch and geocaching really appeal to me for some reason. It kind of ties in with my weather watching and my love of geography. That might not turn other people on, though.
