The Run:
The run started from a small office strip “100ft” before “Sticks” on Rt 44. Promptly at 6:30, they were off, across Rt 44 and into some light shiggy. They bushwhacked to a logging road south, and gradually curved west. There were few checks, but there also were few marks, keeping the hash pretty much together. Only Bondo managed to get lost.

Crossing Hunt Brook, they entered the backside of Heritage Park. Some confusion in some pine groves had to be solved, but before they knew it, they all found the hare and the Beer Check.All except for Bondo, that is. There was great rejoicing. The beer and the songs began. Once finished, the hare instructed them to retrace their steps, and to take a left at the “diagonal tree”.

 

No botanists in the group could figure out what a “diagonal tree” was. Neither apparently, could the hare. The main group was led by Flexi and Fuwangi. They meandered for a while, getting more and more lost, until someone recognized the trail to the Shepherd’s hut. Fuwangi and WHO at least knew enough to follow this to Chestnut Oak Road, where they made their exit and settled down to the long hard pavement back. (It was made somewhat longer and harder for themselves by WHO’s decision to start Heigh-Ho-ing every time a car passed. WHO would be stupid enough to do this?)

 

Back at the cars, Bondo was waiting (Boo!). But there was no sign of WIPOS (Yay!). There was no sign of Basket (Yippee!!). And there was no sign of the hare (A Yahoo!! Modified only by the realization that he had the rest of the beer). Finally, Oozing got into his car to see if he could rescue the hare, lost on his own trail. He soon came back, and the circle was begun, behind the Post Office (a Federal offense, no doubt.)

 

Comments on the run. No Bondo at the BC, one bimbo, some shiggy and two stream crossing were plusses. The way in was fine and dandy, but the way back! The reality of having to choose miles of pavement, versus getting lost with the hare and Basket led to the ultimate score: -6.9! Hashit went from Basket to Bondo to Oozing, and somehow ended up with Shemale Man. Go figure. The On On On was at Chesters, and Wee Balls didn’t get arrested, this time. There’s always something good to be said about any Monday night in Rhode Island.
