Geocache Description:

**NOTE** The BCGA has an exciting new webpage. Here is a copy of the old banner that held the secret coordinates. It was one of over 100 banners designed by yours truly for the old website. You may have to zoom in to see.....


Many people over 40 know someone who had a subscription to Highlights -- a children's magazine filled with comics, puzzles and games.

When the magazine came to our door once a month, the kids would always rush to the "Hidden Pictures" page first. It was a family favourite.

While cleaning up, I was surprised that the magazines were saved after all these years. There they were collecting dust in a forgotten closet...

...until now.

It is your job to find the hidden coordinates. However, they are are not in the photo below. The Hidden pictures game is just an example. The actual coords for this cache are on the BCGA webpage right out in the open for all to see.

When I became a director of the BCGA, one of the first things I did (with a lot of help from CB) was revamp the website. Since that time, I posted no less than 1000 pictures. So where are the coords? They could be buried under two years of news stories or right on the front page. They could be in an advertisement or on one of the many banners or, well, just anywhere. That is for me to know and for you to find out. Keep searching, the coords are bound to pop up sooner or later if you look long enough.

Visit the BCGA Webpage and see if you can find the secret coords.

Get cracking. You'll have to do some cyber caching to find the cache. But once you are ready to find the physical cache please note that there is no need to trample vegetation. It is within reach of the trail. This cache is well hidden but remember that you will be in a muggle zone. Please use stealth when finding this cache and please please please place the cache back exactly as you found it.

Good luck!
