To get to the final cache, you'll need to take a stroll through
downtown Rochester, where you'll see 6 different local
shops/landmarks/cool things. This will yield the numbers needed to
figure out the coordinates, and will finally lead you to the cache.
The container is an army lunch box/canteen painted green
Have Fun!

Final Cache
The Coordinates of the 2nd stage are:
N 42° 41.JKL W 083° 07.MNO
Where…
J = A -C -3
K = (G-D)+2
L = I-F+1
M = F
N = H
O = E-B+1
Check Yourself: M + N + O should be 12 more than J + K +
L
Please Re-hide the cache well.
