An inexpensive tour around the world

The cache is not at the given coords, but is close by.

 

UPDATE  3/5/14

 

Due to construction in the GZ area, I needed to relocate GZ slightly since the original spot is now fenced off.  The equations below have been modified accordingly.

In case you already worked out the old equations, the new GZ is 297’ away on a bearing of 345 deg.

 

Posted below are 10 photos of places around the world.  Identify the locations and determine the degrees of latitude of the main feature shown.  Then use these numbers in the equations below to find the coords for the final.  If you get stumped, ask a friend, or the owner will gladly supply hints.

 (Note:  Use integer degrees, ignore + or - , and don't round up.)

                   PLACE           LAT

A = ______________     ______ deg

B = ______________     ______ deg

C = ______________     ______ deg

D = ______________     ______ deg

E = ______________     ______ deg

F = ______________     ______ deg

G = ______________     ______ deg

H = ______________     ______ deg

J = ______________     ______ deg

K = ______________     ______ deg

 

Final is at:

  40 LM.NPR        40  ___ ___ . ___ ___ ___

-105 ST.WXZ      -105  ___ ___ . ___ ___ ___

Where

L = A + B - 66      ____ + ____ - 66 = ____

M = C + D - 75      ____ + ____ - 75 = ____

N = E + F - 70      ____ + ____ - 70 = ____

P = G + H - 65      ____ + ____ - 65 = ____

R = J + K - 91      ____ + ____ - 91 = ____

 

S = A + K - 81      ____ + ____ - 81 = ____

T = B + J - 76      ____ + ____ - 76 = ____

W = C + H - 54      ____ + ____ - 54 = ____

X = D + F - 90      ____ + ____ - 90 = ____

Z = E + G - 63      ____ + ____ - 63 = ____

 

35mm can, no pen.  There is convenient parking at the final.

Fun puzzle and easy find! Log was soaking wet so I added a dry strip of paper. TFTC!

I had a haircut in Boulder today and thought I'd stop by for a puzzle cache. I've gotten much better at solving puzzles, but I still seem horrible about stopping by to sign the final. Scratch this one off the list! I've been to a few of the locations pictured, it was good to think about those memories. Saturday morning was the perfect time to sign the log, not a soul in sight. Everything was in good shape here. Thanks for the puzzle! Find #3131

Am in town visiting from Rochester, NY for a long weekend. Spent the snowy start to the day finishing solving a few close to ‘home’ puzzles. Had figured out the locations yesterday and gathered the final needed information this morning.

M2 surprised me by wanting to take a hike in the snow. We bundled up and I showed her some of the paths I’ve hiked over the past two days while finding some caches and learning the area.

Had no problem getting to the search area. Quickly turned up the container and signed in before any muggle tafffic showed up.

Thanks for a pleasant way to spend some time on a cold breezy day!

One of 12 caches logged today. Solved the puzzle in early 2014, but just now got around to going out and logging the cache. Cache is in good shape. Thanks for the fun puzzle.
