1: S 33*36.407 -|- E 019*26.374
Upon arrival you may note some things in the surrounding area. You see some electricity poles, some telephone poles, a fence, a gate...and a sign on the gate. Lets look on the sign!

Starting Top-Left (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4...etc.)
============
A: 8'th Letter's numerical value.
B: 4'th Letter's numerical value.
C: 13'th Letter's numerical value.

Hint: Write these down.

2: S 33*(A+B-5).(500-C+B) -|- E 019*(A+3).0(A+B+C-3)

Standing at this spot the town is visible over the golf course. Worcester gets very hot in the Summer...so where do people get their water from? Aha! Look! Resevoirs!

D: The number of Resevoirs visible from this spot.

3: S 33*(40-D).(300-C+7+D) -|- E 019*(B+D+3).(800+(Cx4)-5)

What a nice view! Look! Worcester to the one side of us and Brandwacht to the other! These farms look great during the Fall and Winter! Looking around, there is one thing that kinda screams "Look at me!" It's a wireless internet beacon! Wow! This contraption uses solar power! Look at where the solar panel is anchored to the cement...there's a bolt! The bolt has two letter and two numbers written on it!

E: The letter closest to the start of the alphabet's value.
F: The second letter's value.
G: The lower of the two numbers.
H: The higher of the two numbers.

FINAL CO-ORDINATES:
S 33*(A+F).(((CxH)x2)+3)
E 019*(B+H-1).(((A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H)x8)+(B+1))

How's the brains doing? Bet you wish you had a calculator..huh? Go to the final co-ordinates, enjoy the view and don't forget to sign the log. Bring small items only, please.
