[GeoStL] Even Wikipedia calls geocaching treasure-hunting, so why fault the NPS?

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?
