​Instructions:
This cache requires that you start at the posted coordinates.  From the starting point, you will look for the item shown in the first picture.  Once found, you will proceed to this item and get as close to being under/over/next to it as possible.  Then you will check the corresponding letters clues to see if you need to do anything special.  Some pictures may not have anything.  From there, continue on the to the next picture (and so on) until you have found the last pic.  The photos are displayed in a sequential order in each line starting left to right.  Occassionally, you may need to step out a few feet to get a better vantage point to the find the next location.

Each item can been seen from the location of the prior picture.  However, the pictures shown here may have been taken at a closer or slightly different angle from the way you will see it from your standing location but once you get to the item you should be able to confirm that you are the right object.  Pictures may be a far distance away or they may be fairly close.  You'll need a sharp and discerning eye to progress through the photos.  Also, it advised that you print the photos in color but if you REALLY want a challenge, try them in black and white.

Note that you will never need to enter a building to continue but as you move to the final cache, enjoy the landscape of downtown Grand Island.
