Descriptions, comments, polemics, and lies: 

                           A BASIN TOO FAR

As the old Papuan proverb says...

                        Na A'Apol Ka'ani -uu
                        No Makaki Van'ai-tuu

translation:  Never tell a known thief about good hash terrain.

The LRF's loose lips revealed the location of the area's largest
water basin to the Geezer, known for his close association with
the Cuban Assassin.  (Many think that in fact the Geezer is the
Cuban Assassin, though 242 has recently put forth the theory that
in fact it is the Cuban Assassin who is the Geezer.)  The LRF
knew where this hash was ending at all times, and in fact, only had
to modify his certainty two or three times.  (The trick is making your
final prediction 100 yards from the end.)

We all piled into the obsolescent Geezervan and lurched our way out to
Rocky Hill (Big Surprise... how many hundreds of times has the Geezer
set a trail that either started, ended, or passed the bridge in Rocky
Hill!  If this was really his fiftieth set, as is rumored, at lest forty
of them were in this vicinity).  We set out amidst the LRF's protestations
of certainty about our eventual conclusion.  Hand Job discovered soon that
Cheyenne had spent his winter practicing veering to the other side of
trees at a run.  The terrain behind Princeton Ave. is particularly
conducive to such behavior.  No doubt both got an extra good workout.
We wound our way out to a regroup at about the 30
minute mark.  The Geezer claims we must have gotten lost, though it is
unclear where that occurred.  Unlike most Assassin hashes, we were actually
able to follow this trail without the Geezer appearing at every turn
to hurl derision at us for being incompetent.  Also unlike most Assassin
hashes we were able to follow the trail the whole way.  Alas, it's
really not like the Cuba of old.

After a brief respite at the regroup we sliced through
some woods, passed the wreck of yesteryear's Geezervan, a decaying VW
bus from the 60's in the woods there (Wrong Way will have to go back
to see this one), and found ourselves on 206 just South of the
Princeton Airport.  The Assassin laid a Wacko trap
hoping to catch the unsuspecting on a journey past the other VW bug on
the way to Cherry Hill Road, but lo, it did not work, the Wacky one
had other areas in which to lose himself as the rest of the pack
scoped out the construction site, the world's largest water basin,
and arrived at the apres in time to hear the Giants blow yet another
football game (27-24 to the Bears to make them 3-9 for the season).

Baker finally strided in ten minutes or so later.  Took him a while 
to run out to Western Electric and back.
