Searchin' Through the Year - July Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

SearchinSwifts: This spot has become more overgrown over the years, and there hasn't been much interest in the puzzle. The bonus number was 9, for anyone still planning to go after the final in the series; I'm shutting this one down.

Geocache Description:

"Searchin' Through the Year" series - July

There often just isn’t enough time to do all of the caching you would like to do, what with family, work and other commitments. This series of puzzle caches is intended to celebrate those special days throughout the year when you get that much-needed extra time off. For each cache in this series, assume North = 43 and West = 78, and write down the bonus number or instructions in each cache. (The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is within 2.5 km.)

Once again, our focus is on the first day of the target month: Canada Day. The highest civilian honour that can be bestowed on a Canadian citizen is the Order of Canada; details can be found on the Governor General’s website.

Order of Canada is also the theme of the puzzle:

[Manitoba][Nova Scotia+2].[PEI][Ontario][Quebec-1]

[New Brunswick+3][Alberta-2].[Yukon][Nunavut-5][British Columbia-2]

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Congratulations to AdventureRat for the FTF!
