Not your normal diamonds...

NOTE  -  3/17/19

I had to relocate the final slightly and also changed the container and hint.  Equations below have been updated for the new location.

If you already figured out the answer based on the old equations, the new container is 177 feet away on a bearing of 216 deg.

 

The cache is not at the given coordinates, but is within half a mile.

The 11 sets of coords listed below are for similar well-known structures located throughout the United States. Associated with each structure is a proper noun related to the employees of said structure. Count the letters in each name and record.  Happy Google Earthing! (suggestion: copy and paste?)

Final coordinates of the cache (ddd  mm.mmm) are:

LAT:    39  (A - 1)   C   . (E + 1)  (D – 2)  (B - 8)

        39   ___   ___    .   ___      ___      ___

 (checksum for mm.mmm = 24)

LONG: -105  (H - K) (F - 3) . (G - 3) (L - 5) (J - 4)

      -105    ___     ___   .   ___     ___     ___

 (checksum for mm.mmm = 12)

 

35mm, log only, no (bull)pen.  Sorry, no diamonds.

Be aware of muggles and traffic in the area.

Convenient parking, no fee.

One of 7 caches found today. Worked out the coordinates and found where the cache was suppose to be, but it's missing, i.e. no longer attached. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.
