RIH3 drags through the bottom of the barrel and gets a backslider to hare. Your scribe departed from chalk talk at 6:30 but trail went away from Ryan Park into Feurer (not Fuhrer) park and a death march with occasional checking for a promised check-back. After a temporary bridge we promptly ran into enough flour to get pack confused. Probably should have read the forewarning: "tossing flour all over the place with no rhyme or reason." Your scribe split following trail and following Basket (!) and avoiding the Acella. Looping back to the start trail had a true trail back through the stream that the temp bridge traversed (n.b., WIPOS went around it all). Pack was split between avoiding the water crossing and already being on the destination side. After crossing/following the hare the check was marked in reverse and the hare was of little help. Eventually I followed the harrietts went back through the start to Ryan Park with new flour/marks and your scribe felt like an idiot for not scouting it more thoroughly at the start. Pack was all split up but eventually came upon the late comers (i.e., shortcutters) and the beer. There was Yuengling, there was leftover/discard beer, there were mosquitos., there was tossing a rock back and forth and into poison ivy. We sang traditionals that the regulars have mostly forgotten.<br/><br/>

Circle was mostly comprised of whining about how one of the better RIH3 namings in recent memory that occurred last week (Snowburp) was somehow in question and how your scribe took advantage of the circle location to rest his weary bones. Thankfully the renaming* was not taken up. Hare was also a backslider and got twice the spotlight. Hashshit was not present, as it often hasn't been recently, as the RIH3 members seem to like to have it with them all night every night and wear themselves out with it such that trail is too much. (*Note that it's foam and thus delicate!*) Despite hashers committing flagrant alcohol abuse, nerd names, 'head', and poison ivy assaults your scribe was elected hashshit and sang a (undeserved for the kennel) virgin song.<br/><br/>

Circle ended with the continued misappropriation (i.e., lack of respect) of Swing Low. On-After at West Passage which has barely better beer than the hare provided but did have the brewer and chants of "Gerry! Gerry!" which were also barely passable due to the recent passing of Jerry Springer.<br/><br/>

At least the weather was fantastic!<<br/>br/>
