A photo quiz about Boulder, Colorado

The cache is not at the given coords.

 

UPDATE  7/12/15

 

Since the final has been vandalized 4 times, I decided to relocate GZ slightly.  The equations below have been modified accordingly.

In case you already worked out the old equations, the new GZ is 318’ away on a bearing of 96 deg.

 

Posted below are 11 photos of locations around Boulder, Colorado.  Identify the locations and determine the longitude of the main feature shown.  Then use the integer minutes in the simple equations below to find the coords for the final.  (For example, if the longitude is -105º  23.782’, the number to use below would be 23;  don’t round up.)

If you get stumped, ask a friend, or the owner will gladly supply hints.

 

                  PLACE           LONG

A = ______________     ______ int min

B = ______________     ______ int min

C = ______________     ______ int min

D = ______________     ______ int min

E = ______________     ______ int min

       A+B+C+D+E = X = ______

 

F = ______________     ______ int min

G = ______________     ______ int min

H = ______________     ______ int min

J = ______________     ______ int min

K = ______________     ______ int min

       F+G+H+J+K = Y = ______

 

(Just kidding about “L”)

 

Final is at:

      40   00  .  (X - 73)  (X - 75)  (X - 75)

    -105   14  .  (Y - 70)  (Y - 70)  (Y – 72)

 

Mag, no pen.

All is well here!

Flew in from the Rochester, NY area this morning. Am staying at a nearby air bnb and was anxious to find our first CO cache. Didn’t solve this until arriving but still had enough daylight to take a walk to the search area.

What a busy place! Between muggles made the find after bouncing around a bit. Log still is in great shape and has plenty of room for more signatures.

Can’t wait to explore the area a bit more to get my bearings.

Thanks for a fun way to learn more about where we are visiting for a long weekend.
