'''BoB''' (Bottles of Beer) is a series of geocaches located in some of the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. There are ninety-nine [[microcache|microcaches]] in this series, named in numerical order from [http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCKW1A BoB 01] to [http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCKMBQ BoB 99], a reference to the song "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". The caches were hidden by [[Genius Loci]] and [[Hutt]] using the common pseudonym '''Idiot Savant''' and are listed on [http://www.geocaching.com Geocaching.com].

The caches are relatively concentrated, with every cache located within twelve miles of any other in the series. Many of the caches are within a half-mile of several others. Most of the caches are located near streets and other roads, making them very easy to access.

As a result, many geocaching teams tend to make "BoB runs", where they attempt to locate most or all of the caches in the series. Given the short distances between caches and the ease of access, this can be accomplished within a single day, usually ranging from five to eight hours for the whole tour. Many geocaching teams use stickers to sign the logs in order to minimise the time needed to visit a particular cache. This series is popular with geocachers as it allows their [[find score]] to be boosted by nearly a hundred caches.
