Description, comments:  On a sweltering summer Sunday, a small but fast and 
experienced pack hashed through thorns and mud and the odiferous region 
surrounding the Princeton Conservation Center, Sewage Treatment Plant and 
Dump [ Ed. note- how appropriate for a Joe Burns Hash!] The day began with 
some condo running but soon retraced some of Hash #62's route through the 
construction sites and woods of Rocky Hill.  Across River Road, the two Maits 
hit the stream like real amphibians, but rumors that age was taking its toll 
started when the geezer opted to return by bridge rather than hit the water 
again with Mait the younger.
     The pack plodded through the Masonic Lodge and pleaded their way into 
the conservation Center when Matt Baker's plaintive "but we'll have to walk 
home" seemed to touch the Dump Guardian's heart.  Pascal and Jackson, 
running the wrong way on the real trail, complained about long false trails, 
while Baker and Jones circled the oozing Bono trap and headed into the woods 
for the finish.  Mait the Younger passed his dad coming out of the jungle, but 
was lured off the trail by an empty van and was outkicked in a spectacular final 
dash by the hard charging Geezer; proving once again the basic HASH Truth 
that youth, strength and speed are no match for desire when close to the 
cooler.
