PHHH # 787.4 Date: August 27, 2000 Weather: Too Hot Venue: Reed Rd - Merrill Lynch Construction Site - That Park off Scotch Rd Time: 1:50 Set By: Solo Hashers: RoJo, Tropical Depression, Chris "Stop Coming" Brander Pumpkin Pie, Rubber Alan, Discomfort, Nonsensei, Wacko, Jay Visitors: Jeremy "Cumpassion Fruit" Yang Thank God For RoJo: 2:40pm A pack of 9 converges at the Hopewell Valley Industrial Center where Tropical Depression has parked his car, the hare is no where to be seen so we set off, trying to find a quick route up to the mark on the railroad crossing that Tropical saw 1/4 mile up the road. Finding no marks, the hounds begin to think, a rare occurence. "Didn't the instructions say something about 'Cardinal' Industrial Center?" 2:55 Down the road 100 feet the true start, RoJo and Solo, are found on the wrong side of the road. Solo almost really blew it, as our mistaken start later turned out to be a scant 100 yards from the first beer check. Tropical's mark up the railroad tracks will never be found. 3:00 The hash finally begins. 3:10 A check mark - a false - and then nothing - until RoJo somehow finds the trail hidden in some woods 100 yards away. 3:30 On Reed Rd. crossing 95 3:36 On Railroad tracks crossing back across 95 3:44 After an eight minute straight down the tracks, a much needed beer/water break. 3:50 A check mark - a false - and then nothing - until RoJo somehow finds the trail in the Merrill Lynch construction site some 100 yards away. 4:10 No arrests 4:30 After fifteen minutes wandering around from a check near Jacob's Creek Rd., Solo directs us to marks in the woods 150 yards away. (Rojo only went 100). 4:50 All our relieved to find Solo and the On In. Much imbibing. Pumpkin Pie suggests if we don't name Chris he's gonna 'stop coming'. 4:52 We name Chris "Stop Coming". (That'll teach the Geezer to leave us for so long.) Stop Coming and Cumpassion Fruit do down downs and Cumpassion Fruit treats us to some hash 'poetry' afterwhich Rubber laments the political correctness of the Princeton Hash.
