PHHH #999.9 Date: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 Weather: Hellacious Place: Outer Fringes of the Pigeon Swamp Hare: Rambo Hounds: Hey YO! Paully, Count Von Count, Goes Down 5 Times, Soft Bottom, Hand Solo, Just Josh, Doesn’t Count, Bjorn Dork, Voom!, Who Did I Miss? Visiting Hasher: Cousin It from Philly Time: 50 mins What You Call Hell He Calls Home Rambo’s circumloquacious directions to the start, ignoring the obvious Route 522 was a harbinger of things to come. Unhappily for the PHHH, the route from Baghdad to Horsen apparently leads right through the Pigeon Swamp. Extensive Topo research on the ‘net laid out a glorious virtual trail but reality was so different once boots hit the sand, or in this case the thorns. We circumnavigated the lake (Marked in TP, the rule was “One for Go, two for Check”). This was a Hell of horseshoe trail (Rambo would call it Home), almost an A-A. Somehow all those boots reached the On-In only to find No Beer, No Pork Rinds, only some stale chips and fetid salsa. (Can it be a hash with no beer?). That guy on the tractor musta stole my warm Milwaukee muttered Rambo and there was some talk of going after him, but talk is cheap. In a rare moment for PHHH, a new song was sung (“Stranded”, led by HYP) signaling the christening by full immersion of CVC into the murky waters. Cousin It was waiting for the circle to begin when in typical PHHH fashion we just all buggered off home. Fill in the run list, feels like I missed one or two.
