Description, Comments: "False trail" --A trail that is false; a trail leading nowhere; a 
series of marks designed to send the leaders astray while other pathetic, out-of-shape 
hashers catch up;  a component of a hash.  So runs the definition in Baar-Schräder's  
"Dictionary of Sporting English," Springer Verlag, Düsseldorf, 1984.  Unfortunately this 
volume is not in either Ned or Evy's library. Perhaps we could all chip in to get them a 
copy?  As you may surmise this was a straight line hash suitable for world class medium 
distance runners and similar low life types.  There was interesting terrain, though, and 
any hash that runs through two graveyards and a major swamp has a lot of positive 
qualities.   It started off the Princeton Pike in Lawrenceville, immediately headed 
through graveyard number one into the woods towards Route 1, then looped back 
through more woods and fields to cross the Pike. More countryside led the pack, 
reasonably together, through a swamp, around Lawrenceville School for effete boys and 
(reluctantly) girls to the second graveyard across Route 206.  Up a hill, across fields into 
the woods and the cooler near a development off Cold Soil Road.  Wachspress was lost 
early--actually Evy was lost even earlier on the way to the start-- and Gus was lost at 
the end.  Cornman wasn't exactly lost when he stumbled on the cooler, but it was close. 
A very nice gentleman with a very large and hungry-looking dog stopped by so the 
hound could check out Wachspress, but we bribed them with a beer and Dan was 
spared being the dog's late afternoon snack.  Five stars to Ned and Evy for the great 
beer. 

Next Hash: #87 Sunday, March 30, 2:00 PM.  Miller, Cornman set.  Be There.
