Geocache Description:



I thought that Brockville could use a few puzzle caches, but in thinking about it, I know how anxious everybody gets when they see that "question mark" icon. This series is designed to help those who are a little reluctant to try a puzzle, give it a go. The various caches focus on differing methods of basic puzzle solving and will give one a starting point with their puzzle solving. The series basically amounts to a tutorial and all the caches are micro park and grabs. So let's roll up our sleeves and get started. Before we getting started as with most puzzles,
THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!

Hidden in Plain Sight
There are many ways to hide things in plain sight on a cache page. One way to do this is through the "HTML" method. You do your page in html, then put the "hidden message" any where on the page in white letters. When the page is finished, the white letters are gone, but can be seen if you left click your mouse and highlight the screen with blue, the message will soon become evident to you. So let's give it a go. The cache is located at:

N 44° 36.300 W 075° 46.795 
Congrats you've got it!!!

As with all CZ caches, the idea here is to have some fun, be safe and learn something.

Cheers
CZ
