X Marks the Spot

by Nathan Fung

Each satellite image has a red X at the location of a painted marker for the Boston Marathon. The first image's X is at the starting line; each of the other Xs is at the location of a painted mile marker. Taking the numbers painted at these markers gives: 6 12 15 18 9 4 1 11 5 25 19.

Converting these to letters gives the final answer FLORIDA KEYS.
