Geocache Description:


This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but it is a good place to park.

Sgauss is a local cacher who we have met and gotten to know at caching events and clearing trash at a CITO. His name is often on the cache logs in our area and when my kids find his name ahead of ours, they exclaim “Sgauss!” and laugh.

Sgauss is someone who enjoys adventure like rock climbing and doesn’t mind a bushwhack (A Scout is Brave). He likes solving tricky puzzle caches, enjoys trivia contests and has, in the past, logged a cache with Vogon poetry. He caches with his family and solo and has been known to run away from the office to grab a ftf!<g>

He has placed quite a few caches and lately, a lot of his caches have been referring to one particular movie, The Big Lebowski. It’s all about kidnapping, Shabbos, toes, bowling, weird art techniques, rugs, etc…

To find the coordinates to this cache, correctly answer the Big Lebowski questions below and then put your answers together in a string and use the geochecker here to get the final coordinates. Once you have the coordinates for the final, look for the cache. Good luck and have fun!
