A line drawn due north from one of these twelve summits intersects a beautiful country road where you will see a signpost with two signs. The upper is a "Bump" sign and the lower one is odd - maybe a truck going downhill toward a building?
Enter the coordinates of the sign (within 30 feet of accuracy) into this checker and you will be rewarded with the cache coordinates (in the "Bonus info").
The country road is the first you will encounter heading north from the summit that features Google Earth Street View, using which you can spot the sign. Once in Street View, be sure to turn in all directions and look carefully!
Don't forget to make a note of the clues on the cache log. You will need them to solve The Atoz Sequence!
