“Sometimes, I find, it’s better to be by myself, and yet, sometimes, I find, it’s better to be with somebody else.”

Collaborator: one who works together with another, especially in some undertaking for mutual benefit.

Below is a puzzle grid, made up of the names of famous collaborators. I'm a fan of a simple pencil puzzle, entitled "What's Left?", where one follows given steps, crossing out grid spaces that meet certain criteria, to achieve what is left. Successfully linking the collaborative pairs together, and following the directions to determine what is left, shall derive the coordinates you seek.

Follow these three steps:


1.) Cross out the names of all the women presented on the grid.

2.) Cross out the names of all the fictitious or imaginary.

3.) Cross out the names of all the animators/those involved with animation.




You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.


Cache originally stocked with a few appropriate items, some kid friendly swag, and although I don't condone it, a couple new micro-sized caches for your future hides. I'll never use them. ;)

FTF prize is any item from the cache.

Congrats to Sludge__Shoveler on the FTF!
