"First to Cooler"  Some debate--Pascal, Kaufman, Jackson,MJ seemed close 
Description, comments:   A  field, road and construction hash starting from FMC on 
Route 1, leading behind FMC through snow filled fields, across a road into woods.  
Quintas and Josh? caught up at that point, having become lost before the hash in 
attempting to find adequate sweats.  Despite this advantage, perhaps because they 
were out of hash training they became lost again in the woods.  There were extenuating 
circumstances, however, as Wachspress had either run out of red marking chalk (or 
stopped peeing blood) and had marked the woods with white lime on snow.  Well, it was 
obvious to the older, craftier members of the pack that the trail had to emerge onto the 
road as indeed it did.  More woods followed and the trail, such as it was, debouched into 
the vast monstrous  construction area of Merrill, Lynch, Pearce, Benner, Scheisskopf 
and whoever.  Much milling about by MJ, Pascal, Jackson finally led to the trail again as 
RAP and MJ emerged from a long underground tunnel directly onto marks.  At this point 
Burns and Kaufman were heard far ahead and the rest of the pack was out of sight lost 
no one knows where.  The second half of the pack finally found the construction just in 
time to be busted by security alerted by the first half.  Sargeant X, doubtless a good 
friend of no smiles Ray, escorted them off the property which was better than they 
deserved.  The trail led over roads through houses filled with terrified homeowners to 
Burns' house where the puzzeled Pascal, off the trail, but first to arrive at the front door, 
was unable to pry any beer or coke from the Burns kids who quite correctly demanded 
the password.  Only MJ knew it, as it had been pinned to the wall of the Burns' tool 
shed. (those who say that Burns really gave it to a fellow geezer better watch out).  
Kaufman and MJ overran it but the geezer was so out of it at that point that he stopped 
to look inside the shed, allowing the even slower Joe Burns to catch up and show him 
the card.  There's a lesson in there somewhere.
