What's wrong with "Treasure Hunting" .....it is not that far wrong and it is a 
good catch phrase term.....anyone who sticks with caching knows what it really 
is and those that don't well who cares.

    Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants 
use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques 
to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the 
world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and 
"treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well over 440,000 
geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the sport. Geocaches 
are currently placed in 222 countries around the world and on all seven 
continents, including Antarctica.
   
  How do we get them to change the definition?
