2360 90's The Dude Abides Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin:
Mob caches were published as an experiment using specific technology that required players to be in the same place and to enter a code at the same time to learn the final coordinates. This was an exception to the guidelines at the time and is not a publishable concept today.

The original site used for this purpose has been removed, and therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active caches originally intended to be solved using this method. Due to privacy laws, we are not seeking an alternative site at this time. We are respectfully requesting that the cache owner please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

Geocache Description:


Hard to believe 25 years ago The Big Lebowski was released. Talk about a blast from the past. The Dude’s nihilistic puzzle box thrilled some with its brilliance but left many baffled.

There are some red herrings for sure and a seemingly bizarre structure, or rather an intentional lack of one.


At any rate you don’t need to understand the film to find this cache, but you do have to figure out the field puzzle. It’s up to you if you want to take the nihilistic approach, clueless zen approach, or just...abide.

Update: It appears Larry Sellers has stolen the Dude's car!
