Description, comments:  "A maze of twisty little passages all looking alike"  How true.  
THis was a development/woods hash made for masochistic runners.  Despite "I run with 
snakes" claim that there were lots of false trails what this hash really had was lots of 
loooong straights and look-alike development streets.  It began in some Levittown in 
East Windsor and wound in and out of the adjacent woods in a series of huge loops.  
Thus there was ample opportunity for the pack to cut off large sections of the trail had 
they been alert enough (or in Wachspress' case, smart enough) to do so.  It was Dan (I 
run into living rooms) Wachspress who provided the best moments.  Early on he did cut 
off a huge section, but lacking conviction (some would say simple smarts) he found his 
way back to the pack and then bushwacked with them for 3/4 mile back to the marks he 
had already found.  Later, ahead once more, he suffered a flash of inspiration that the 
run must be over and burst into some poor homeowner's living room and demanded 
beer from the terrified family.  Not believing their pathetic denials he continued to insist 
and was not dissuaded until the pack appeared. Why the family failed to call the cops or 
Ray the Guard to remove the obviously crazed intruder one can only guess.  But 
heaven sometimes rewards the demented and it was Wachspress who took the last real 
trail and found the cooler, mercifully stocked with the real item this time..
