The BCGA's sixth annual cache Blitz runs May 1 - August 1, 2010

What is the Blitz?

The BCGA Cache Blitz is a way to dust off the winter cobwebs and get out caching. Between May 2nd and August 1st, the BCGA is encouraging people to hide and seek caches. The Blitz will culminate with several events scheduled across the province in early June where you can meet local cachers and discuss some of those great new caches you visited.

Do I need to be a BCGA member?

The cache Blitz is open to ALL geocachers in BC, you do not need to be a registered BCGA Member... but if you're not... Why not? Membership is free and you will be supporting the organization that represents and supports goecachers in BC. Signing up on the BCGA website is not equivalent to being a member. you must submit a membership form. Please click here to learn more about BCGA membership.
