Geocache Description:

Dr. Who seems to be one of the most popular characters amongst all Geocachers, and since The Doctor is somewhat of a mystery himself, I've decided to hide a puzzle cache in his honor.  The cache is not at the given coordinates (obviously).  You'll have to solve a puzzle to find the final coordinates.  Cache is located at N 40 XX.XXX W 073 XX.XXX.


Over the years The Doctor has taken many forms, and he has had many companions.  Although he has had the occasional male companion, this puzzle focuses solely on the females.  While it's true that none of these companions were ever actually married to The Doctor, I feel that, just in the way that "The Doctor" is more of an unofficial title rather than a name, many of these women could each in their own way be considered as having taken the honorary title of "Ms. Who".  The below list is far from exhaustive, and there are many possible combinations of Doctors and Companions that you can make, but the coordinates will only reveal themselves once you find the correct "Dr. and Ms. Who".  Allons-y!
