It's amusing to read that letter is almost humorous.  It's an =
understandable policy, but I'm thinking it's slightly full of loopholes. =
 Without knowing what is/is not an archaelogical site, you don't =
knowingly violate anything, which would make it difficult to prosecute =
in court.  Geocaching is hardly vandalism, it meets not one definition =
of 'litter', and is a family activity that is well suited for city parks =
and many other areas.

While I don't intend on deliberately snubbing their rules, I do see a =
problem with the enforcement aspect of it.
