PHHH # 801.4 Date: November 26, 2000 Weather: Wet and Wild Venue: Both Sides of Rte 1 between Raymond Rd and New Rd Time: 2 Hours Set By: Tropical Depression and Ice Blue Balls Hashers: Dancing Fool, Discomfort, Geezer, Juicy, Minor Tom, Solo, Wacko, Ken Vercammen Visitors: Likes to Bang Poles and Dave from Las Vegas Apres Crasher: RoJo, Tree, Darby, Sonuvabitch Fear and Loathing on the Road from Las Vegas Likes to Bang Poles and Dave didn't know what to expect as they embarked into the foggy New Jersey wetlands. The deserts of Las Vegas did little to prepare them for the 2 hours of sloshing about in store. It became clear that our two visitor, flailing about in the raincoats, were determined enough to finish the trail, and yet how long that would take was another question. In fact, they managed to traverse close to 1 hour of the trail on their own in a running time of roughly 2 hours and find their way back to their car without a rescue party required, (half an hour quicker than Solo). The first 15 minutes of trail were straight forward enough, marked by the sudden appearance of Ken Vercammen enroute. The second 15 minutes involved running around in circles thanks to the misdirections of the hare. 30 minutes in we knew we were in trouble as the hares said it took the two of them 3.5 hours to set. The Geezer, nursing his wounded leg, was substituted for by pinch hasher Minor Tom, who joined the waterlogged pack as we bushwhacked around through flooded woodlands for two hours, occasionally spying a hare here or there. The trail went from: Wynwood Drive (just west of the Grand Union) - South almost to Raymond Rd. - Northeast and across Rte. 1 - North to Stouts Lane - North to 522 - North to New Rd. - across Rte. 1 - INTO THAT MOBILE HOME PARK - the highlight of the hash - and ended at New Rd. Park (we never ran the last 1/3rd of the trail as dark and fog descended. The apres was for the dogs.
