Geocache Description:

This series of caches is dedicated to my other long term interest – BOWLING. I have been bowling since my youth. While I may not carry a very high average in the league I’m in, I have enjoyed spending all these years bowling with family & friends.

The history of bowling dates back to ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. Bowling as we recognize it today was first established with standardized rules in New York City on September 9, 1895.  There are varying forms of bowling on a small scale and mostly in New England and Canada of ‘Nine-Pin’, ‘Candlepin’, ‘Duck-Pin’ & ‘Five-Pin’.
This is a series of caches where you will need to gather the clues in the 6 traditional caches to acquire the necessary info to solve this puzzle. I’ve used common terms from bowling for these caches.

A Pin must be 15” tall and about 4.7” wide at its widest part. The weight must be at least 3 lbs. 6 oz. and no more than 3 lbs. 10 oz.

You are looking for an ammo can in Hoffman Park. Be sure to collect the clue. Be advised deer hunting is allowed in the fall so wear appropriate clothing.
