Geocache Description:


My son has joined his high school bowling club, so we've been visiting Georgetown a couple of times a week.   I decided to leave a cache here.

A) The earliest forms of bowling date back to:

  • Ancient Egypt (A = 3)
  • Medieval Europe (A = 4)

B) This type of bowling was popular in the United States until the 1830s, when several cities banned it out of moral panic over the supposed destruction ofthe work ethic, gambling, and organized crime.   Texas is the only state that still has a significant amount of this type of bowling.
