The listed coordinates will take you the focal point near where your search will begin.
We suggest finding a parking spot close by, because we are going on a little stroll. From here, you will need to use keen observation and locate the images below. After each image, there will be some minor calculations to get the number needed for that spot in the final coordinates.
