At the posted coordinates you will find two identical signs that I always found a bit superfluous. Then on July 23, 2018 the local media reported the following incident only a couple of miles for these signs. On the very next day there was a similar accident in E. Rochester.

The story was reported across the country. I bring you to these signs so that you may learn a lesson and hopefully help you avoid such an accident yourself. Study the sign and use what you learn to solve this little field puzzle and find the final hide so that can get this smiley and potentially avoid exceeding your property damage limits on your insurance policy. After all, the accident above did not involve hitting a pole but just a few wires between two of them.
The final is at N 43 AB.CDE W 077 FG.HIJ
Note: All the information needed to solve this puzzle can be seen from the road and you do not need to examine the sign more closely than the street.
Where: A is the number of letters in the ninth word on the sign, B is number of letters of the eighth word on the sign. C for the number of letters on the first word. D for the letters in the third word and E is the number of letters in the seventh word minus the number of letters in the sixth word.
F is the number of letters in the fifth word on the sign, G is number of letters of the seventh word plus the letters in the third word on the sign. H is the number of letters in the second word divided by the number of letters in the third word. I is for the number of letters in the fourth word and J is the letters in the eight word.
Good luck and drive carefully to the final. You will need to pass a few poles on the way!
As noted above you do not need to go onto the property that the signs are on to gather the information. I think this property is now guarded by Amazons. You might want to a picture to share with your friends and help you solve when you have parked. There is room off the east side of the road to pull over to gather your data.
The FTF Prize will be $1.05. Heck we need to adjust for inflation don't we. It is unlikely that the nickel will buy as much as it did when it first started out so it might serve as a nice keepsake. Heck, it is over a 110 years old.
