Geocache Description:


This geocache is dedicated to my favorite sidekick, Sprite4. When you log your find, feel free to add a photo or a shout out to your own favorite sidekick.

The listed coordinates are not where the cache is hidden. You will kick yourself if you go there.

Some fictional heroes/ protagonists/ main characters have loyal sidekicks. Often, the sidekick's role is to humanize the hero as well as giving them an opportunity to provide explanations for their actions or backstory. In this puzzle cache, the sidekick is listed and you will have to figure out who is the more famous member of the duo. Then use the first letter of the hero's name (skipping titles such as Mr. or Dr.) and use its alphabetic number for the actual coordinates. (A=1, J=0, K=1, etc.) For instance, "Robin" would pair with "The Batman", which would translate to a 2. In some instances, you will need to apply some simple subtraction to get the number. The space in front of the sidekick's name is for you to note the digit that applies to their pal.
