Stage 1 is a virtual spot. Solve for Stage 2 using Coords N 45 A.BC and W 092 Y.Z.
Stage 2 is a physical spot. Look for a container.
Stage 3 is a virtual spot. Solve for Stage 4 using Coords N 45 A.BC and W 092 Y.Z.
Stage 4 is a physical spot. Look for a container.
Stage 5 is the final.


At Stage 1(Starting Coordinates):
A=Notice the security panels made from galvanized wire in a grid pattern. Each grid has how many horizontal wires subtract 13.
B=Looking East you will see a street sign. Count the number of letters in the street name(the whole name).
C=How many bolts support each vertical square pole on the bridge add 3.
Y=How many vertical posts on the West side of the bridge from one side to the other subtract 28
Z=Find the Specification Plate for the bridge at the NW corner of the bridge. How many tons can this bridge support multiply by 18

B=How many bolts are in a cluster fastening the thick boards to the side of the bridge subtract 3
C=Count the number of 2X6 boards that lead up to the bridge on each side and on each side(yes, I said that twice)and (only the ones 'facing out') add 61
Y=How many 2.5X10 boards(the thickest ones) line the bridge and subtract 1
Z=Use the starting values for A+B+C+Y. Subtract 072(keep the zero where it is in your answer)
