PRINCETON HHH Hash #423.4 DATE: Wednesday August 25, 1993 SET BY: Solo HASHERS: Wacko, RoJo, Some Nerd, LFBB, LRF, Safe Sweats, Wrong Way, Sleeper WEATHER: Liquid VENUE: Solo's Home - Northwest to Hollow Road and Peruzzi? Lane. The aging blue Ford helicopter touched down roughly, buffeted by turbulence from the nearby waterfall. "I only pay 300 bucks a year to keep this thing flying!" chuckled Wacko as he shut down the groaning turbines. The airsick hounds tumbled out of the rusty side door, grateful to be on good terms with terra firma again. There was no sign of Solo, save for a conspicuous check mark just outside the roll-up doors to the laboratory. On this, the LRF pounced and shot off in six directions. The rest of the pack was about to disappear down the obvious mown path into the forested area when the screech of brakes heralded the arrival of Sleeper. Finally, they began their journey. "This fern has been extinct for at least 3 million years!" exclaimed RoJo. "Aaaahhhhh!!!" exclaimed LFBB, falling into a footprint and breaking his ankle in three places. No one else heard them though, for they had their own problems. A formation of horse flies the size of a house had swarmed in and began knocking over the hapless hashers for sport. It was going to be a long hash. At least it was humid. The trail swerved and jerked though the Paleolithic jungle, eventually fading into non- existence. Solo appeared at the odd road-crossing, chortling at the hashers from behind the glass of his robot-controlled electric Buick. But all pressed on. The trail vanished completely at the site of a primitive dwelling-place, now eerily vacant. Darkness began to fall. Wrong Way produced a flashlight, and the pack began to follow him through the unmarked jungle. A full five minutes passed before anyone realized that this was a Bad Idea. Back at the dwelling, Solo has mysteriously appeared, this time visibly shaken. "It's loose!" he whimpered, "I've never seen anything so horrible! But I know another way..." He had tangled with the lord of this jungle, Homeownerasaurus Rex. Barely escaping with his life, Solo had returned to direct what was left of the pack to the end.
