			BETWIXT TWIN RIVERS

Hmmmmm.  Why such a shotty turn out?  Despite the small numbers the
pack was eager to enjoy an excellent spring day marauding about 
Etra Lake and Twin Rivers in new terrain.  Unfortunately, tragedy
struck early on.  Shaken by his recent run in with Judge "YOU'RE A
MENACE, YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL" Rzeminiski, Wacko panicked when a cop
pulled up as the pack was meandering behind a chainlink fence and took
to the hills, fleeing without regard to trail, fearing he would spend
10 days in county lock-up with the rest of the lowlifes he saw in
traffic court.  Without the Geezer's counteracting ability to suck
hashers behind him in his wake, the entire pack joined Wacko far from
the true trail in search of marks continuing from what turned out
to be mythical arrows.  This hopeless excursion did provide
a unique experience in Princeton Hashing, one that has not occurred
in 500 hashes!

Faced with a "No Trespassing" sign that boasted "Violators will be
shot, Survivors will be prosecuted" and the close proximity of the
police, Wacko actually asked !!!AND OBTAINED!!! permission from a
homeowner to run through her field to the woods beyond!!  What an
experience.  Later, after LFBB finished a conversation about family
and kids with the friendly cop, he came round looking for the hapless hounds
and was being accosted by a kid in a pick-up truck about trespassing
when Wacko got to come up and say, "WE HAVE PERMISSION", pointing to
the kind woman doing yard work who waved back.  The youngster was totally
flummoxed.  Wacko pushed his advantage.  
"Actually, if you could give us a lift in your truck, we'd really appreciate
it."  And so the whole pack piled into the flatbed and off we went.  Ooooops,
did I say, the whole pack... where's Ro Jo (just back from a 
climb of Kilamanjaro that we hear was almost as difficult as the hard core
hash) and 242.  Oh well, they're nowhere to be seen.  LFBB will have to come
back for them.  (Unfortunately, they were AWOL for the rest of the day,
or fortunately perhaps, as huddled together at the start for a cold 60
minutes waiting for the return of the others they apparently had a chance
to explore some virgin territory of their own!)

The flat bed truck ride was a nice pick-me-up as we were already
30 minutes into the hash having seen a total of say
12 marks of what would turn into close to a 2 hour hash.  Police gone,
the rest of the trail was easy enough to follow -- offering some
interesting sights along the way, the most notable of which was
My Lips Are Seals catapulting himself out of a briar infested wood
after he and Dry Martinez realized that this was NOT a short cut.
Also skirted was an ominous looking swamp with tentacle-like trees
and a Suburban Transit bus cemetery.
