NOTE 8/31/11

Due to long-term construction at the original GZ, I had to relocate the final.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but you can thank Xcel. On the plus side, the math has been simplified.

The cache is not at the given coords, but is within 0.2 mi.

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 absolute integer degrees, ignore + or - , and don't round up.)

PLACE LAT

A = ______________ ______ deg

B = ______________ ______ deg

C = ______________ ______ deg (not me!)

D = ______________ ______ deg

E = ______________ ______ deg

A+B+C+D+E = X = ______

F = ______________ ______ deg

G = ______________ ______ deg

H = ______________ ______ deg

J = ______________ ______ deg

K = ______________ ______ deg

F+G+H+J+K = Y = ______

Final is at:

39 5 9 . 0 (X – 254) 0

-105 1 5 . 1 (Y – 148) 9

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

Found with EasternGirls, stamped "iriGirls". After a tip-off at a local puzzling event as to an easier way to solve these, we've had these finals on our radar and were able to grab a few today. TFTP!

Out biking around today, this final is OK.

Found this cache at about 8:30 PM. Came back through Boulder to try a nearby restaurant for dinner, and get my non-challenge puzzle cache of the day. Cache container and log were in fine shape, but my pen was a little wonky from the cold. Still, I think I managed to make a legible mark, Was quite surprised that the last log was August of last year.
Thanks for another thoughtful puzzle cache, and for keeping this one alive and well for so many years. I'm knocking them off one at a time.

We headed out to spend a nice warm February day finally doing some puzzle caches and hopefully clean up the area. Log was soaking wet, we placed a new log with a baggie to keep cache going. Soaked log is still at GZ. SL,TFTC
