Description, comments:The Princeton 200.4th began a bit late.  Due 27 November, 
1988, it took off just short of 18 months behind schedule.  Not bad given the 
organizational liabilities of this group.  Wacko and the Schrinker set a relatively easy 
ramble through the Pine Barons.  Actually this caused problems because both Baron 
von Richthoven and Baron de Burden were upset and loosed their Dobermen in an 
attempt to Pinsch the pack. We were rescued by an intrepid band of Bandiliero'd 
Banditos - the Ghost of Emiliano Carranza at the lead, who rode in shouting "Viva 
Zapata" and scattered the hounds, much to the dismay of the Dogschrinker who was 
looking forward to some good opportunities, and Wacko, who has a renowned thing for 
canines.

Phil sent us off with an historical essay on the exploits of the legendary Carranza which 
provoked yawns from many and cries of "the hook" from some.  By the time Wacko took 
over and became muddled while trying to explain the finer details of a circular check 
mark, all were ready to run, if only to stage an escape from the interminable harangue.  
Scrub, sand and swamp led to the tracks of the defunct Carranza RR at which a 
providential shortcut avoided more miles of the same, and the SCB's led on to the beer 
break.  

Post break running featured encounters with the Carranza branch of the Hell's Angels, 
who, in sharp contrast to the Rumson HHH, had shown up in their Harley'd splendor to 
harass the hounds.  Rumson had apparently heard that it might rain, and no-showed out 
of fear of catching a wee chill. Perhaps their mommies kept them home for mother's 
day.  

The ON-ON featured beer, which ranged from the fairly decent to the more familiar 
panther piss, as well as the usual singing.  These delicate, refined choruses are more at 
home in the elite drawing rooms of southern NJ, but were relegated on this day to the 
Salon de Tarp, and a torrential downpour which was only slightly deflected by the 
Geezer's canvas, a thing of age and tatters matching nicely the decrepitude of its 
owner. 

Food gone and beer guzzeled, with rain descending inexorably, the pack adjourned, 
some to the Knicks debacle, others more sensibly to Andy's Tavern.  

Let's went, Cisco.
