Heavier Than You Thought... Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MIKEY MAC: I was out this way on 12/14/2018 and conducted a thorough search of the area where the cache was hidden. It seems that the tree which originally held the cache died and fell over. The entirety of the tree is no longer there, and there is chopped up lumber in the area. It seems to be that someone stumbled upon the cache and removed it as "trash".

For those curious, the puzzle simply required you to calculate the 4 bowling scores shown. The final was inside a bowling pin, which was sawed in half, and attached with a hinge. By finding this cache you'd realize bowling pins are much heavier than you thought.

Thanks to all who visited this cache over the last several years.

Geocache Description:


Stop #1 of caches dedicated to my favorite hobbies...

Should be a relatively easy puzzle, with a relatively easy find. All I ask is that the cache is replaced as found.

Also, parking coordinates have been provided. Accessing the cache from any other direction will be trespassing on private property.

Opening night of the amateur league. I thought they outlawed smoking in these places!?
