A geographic photographic quiz

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

NOTE  On 7/28/18, I relocated the final by 187 feet at a bearing of 226 deg;  equations below reflect the new location.

 

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 - 84      ____ + ____ - 84  = ____

M = C + D - 101     ____ + ____ - 101 = ____

N = E + F - 84      ____ + ____ - 84  = ____

P = G + H - 86      ____ + ____ - 86  = ____

R = J + K - 97      ____ + ____ - 97  = ____

 

S = A + K - 92      ____ + ____ - 92  = ____

T = B + J - 83      ____ + ____ - 83  = ____

W = C + H - 107     ____ + ____ - 107 = ____

X = D + F - 79      ____ + ____ - 79  = ____

Z = E + G - 90      ____ + ____ - 90  = ____

 

Mag nano, no pen, tweezers useful.  There is convenient parking near the final.

Out and about today with peace love pi and GotYour6. LOL I'm not good in the cold and pestered peace love pi most of the week about snow and will be able to open containers, etc. Yeah, I'm a wimp when it comes to cold weather. We tried to come up with something that had P, G, and L and laughed when we came up with GULP! We started out here today because of course, we have to get our puzzle in! I got here first and decided to read a few logs. Hmmm... did I solve the puzzle before or after the final moved. Quick reconnoiter of GZ and I started to think it was before. Entered in the offset and it didn't quite match what my buddies had. Hmmmmm again... we went with their coords and made the find. Thanks for the puzzle! Find #3185.

Met up with GotYourSix and lasouthpaw this morning for a wonderful day of urban caching. We all needed a puzzle for the day so we chose this as our starting place. TFTC! All is well with this cache.
