Wow.  Have you looked at a paper recently?  Articles about recreational 
groups, like geocachers, end out in the "arizona Living" section of the 
paper, and give people ideas on what they can do to get off their lazy 
butts and go outside.  There are already fairly regular bits on local 
trails, bike rides, various races, farmers markets, public easter egg 
hunts, etc...  A story on geocaching would fit in perfectly fine, and not 
"good guy vs. bad guy" angle needs to be included at all.
