This simple puzzle brought the "Christmas is Coming" series to the East side of the Hudson River in 2016, and again in 2018. Solve it for the third and final time, with a different clue below to lead you to the cache. If you haven't done the prior caches, the links are below.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, you must solve the puzzle below. Location is primarily dawn to dusk and can be a PNG or part of a much longer walk or bike ride.
Final is at N 42° 24.ABC' W 073° 40.DEF'

Ted Geisel's father wanted him to study medicine. That was not the route he followed to become a Doctor. But in his capacity as a famous Dr., he resolved a serious deficiency of the title character. Let this lead you to the correct coordinates for the final.
This is the third and final cache highlighting my favorite Christmas cartoons:
- 2016 Christmas is Coming - East (Hopefully the title character's best friend didn't grow up to be "that kind" of Karen.)
- 2018 Christmas is Coming - East DDS (It can be handy to have a dentist as a friend.)
- 2020 Christmas is Coming - East MD (The Dr. resolves a serious deficiency of the title character.)
As an added bonus since this is the last of the series, you just might find that you have the solutions to all three caches in the statements above. Make sure to verify via the checkers on each of the cache pages.
I'd like to give credit to this website, which I found very informative Christmas Specials Wiki.
I'd also like to thank bellhill for inspiring me with her fun series, starting with Christmas is Coming-1, on the West of the Hudson River.
