PHHH #1031.9 Date: March 13, 2005 Venue: over the hills and foar away Weather: Torrid Hare: Delicate Psyche Hounds: yes Story told by HYP: I ran to the start from home. Hashed a little and got separated with SOlo (help me!) Solo was afraid to get wet but I swung on vines and hopped on rocks across the back-side of the canal. SUBJECT HEADING. So I crossed the bridge once I ran to it. For a long time, I saw more checks and double-cross arrows than all marks put together. I wound up off trail and ventured to a construction site/big white Church. Back on road to the last seen mark - wala! I run into a big check. I thought this was a good thing. Found a single mark way in woods - this sent me in bad direction but that didn't stop me. I got water at Arena Gymnastics on Alexander Road Plaza. Back Back Back via road to this check, then I was going to bag it and go home, but I saw the real trail now, and followed it - to that construction site/Big White CHURCH!!!!!! The last deli-cut set I was on I landed at an ON-IN that was meant only for me - no beer, and the hare decided to let the hashers off the hook and send them elsewhere. Did this happen again? Did I find Deli-Cut trail that even Deli-Cut abandoned? Finally, I did decide to run home, took CLarksville to KC Prime (got water). Went across the mall to save time but then had to cross traffic - and I was cramping up worse than Todd Pinkston - I crossed 10 lanes of Route 1/95 with a minor pause on concrete Jersey Barrier in the middle (I was waiting for the LAW, never showed Whew! but I had excuses ready if they did) and then was able to onramp 95 and get off in industrial land to short cut home. Good thing I didn't have to cross 12 lanes of highway - I may not be Emailing this. I got home at 6:30.
