Puzzle
Upon reaching this puzzle, each team would be presented with this image:

Hints
10 minutes - Perhaps you should look at the image with perspective

20 minutes - The answers you seek are based and you must rive the other

30 minutes - Whether you look at a map or the Earth, you must locate the answer

40 minutes - Some things are hard to see up close

50 minutes - Might want to try something again you have done to get here

60 minutes - Go back to the source of it all

65 minutes - Look at the text version of the image

70 minutes - First encryption is based, other is RC2 keyless

Solution
Opening the image in Notepad++ once again would reveal a garbled mess of characters, but at the end it would say:

''HERE! --> 'NTPCsDMyJzQ2LjAiTg==' and 'zm8xCJTqWu1vPjZoFX1zVQ=='''

Decrypting the first string using base64 would give you 53°32'46.0"N

Decrypting the second string using RC2 keyless (the Rivest cipher) would give you 113°29'37.7"W

If you put the coordinates 53°32'46.0"N, 113°29'37.7"W into Google Maps, you would find yourself in Edmonton.
