The Run:

Well, getting there was pretty much as difficult as the trail, exit 6 (not 6a) then turn here for 5 miles, turn there for 5 miles etc...I had to leave the pristine fields of Borrington for this ride and without the 'ride' before from KNO ... I had my doubts before we even started...

Then of course, I was late.  No, not that kind of late, believe me, those lessons have been learned ... you've all seen the procreation results in our crowded house, but late for the beginning of the trail.   I had no idea where the start was, so Mr. Peabody and I set out for a 'lovely run' through the woods of Coventry.  We were following some trail on this nice evening when I hear breathing from behind (did KNO find his way??), oh no, it is Fuwangi Boner.  Running up behind me saying "I'm so F**ing hungover, where is the trail?".  You know he was hungover if he is asking me where the trail was.  All RI hashers know ERSEESB just runs (or walks or wades) and follows voices and horn sounds.  Marks mean nothing, flour is a bonus and toilet paper is a godsend in the woods ...

We followed the arrows, walked over streams, checked for ticks (that was fun) and then hearing the sound of voices realized ...!  We've back tracked!  Here were B*tch X 7, Oozing, Ben, WIPOS, Virgin Jean Paul & Dr. Who across the stream.  You've missed the beer check they yell, where are the marks they ask, once again "why are you asking me?" ...

The beer check was found after we all praised B*tchX7 for losing Basket, Seamus & Bondo and somersaulted down under the bridge and waded through the river to find the beer under water ... Swallows and Virgin Ian found us enjoying the water and singing out loudly that Bondo had still not found us (although Basket & Seamus had) ... Mr. Peabody would not enjoy the water with us (he was pacing back & forth trying to find a way across the river without getting wet).  But as everyone found trail across the river I had to carry Mr. Peabutt back up to the bridge so that his tender paws did not touch the dirty river ... I somehow once again found my way through the bushwhacking, did not cross any water but found the toilet paper and Swallows with both virgins, Ian & Jean Paul.

At the end before the circle we found Bondo Jovi & Jake with his military man friend Squirrel Dick or Sergeant Squirrel (whatever he wants to call himself) and some dead fish.  We circled up, hazed the virgins, listened to Summer's Eve 7 Year Bitch & Swallows' rendition of a new hash song, made fun of Bondo and his dead fish, praised KNO for being intelligent enough to stay at work and miss this hash (which received a +6.9 rating) and gave the hashit back to Bondo for collecting the most I'd a Ho map thingies...

ON In was at our favorite joint, Mark's or Mikes or exit 6 or 6a ... and both virgins claim they will be back ... that is yet to be seen ... I at least got to go home to get KNO'ed ...

On On
