Geocache Description:

A geographic photo quiz

NOTE  7/22/21

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

The math has been modified accordingly.  New final is about 0.15 mi SE of old one.

 

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 8 . (X + 684)

   -105  1 5 . 0 (Y - 111)

 

Mag nano, no pen.  There is convenient parking at the final.
