Happy Valley Hash No. 49
We met Madame Flutterby at the appointed hour Thursday night across from Atkins to do a short run below the notch, plenty of vertical was all that was previously mentioned along with, " I hope no one is using the firing range! "
The Hare asked for a ten minute cranium start and since we were across from Atkins, and since he mentioned he had beers in his car, we graciously agreed to give him the start he wished for. I ran across the street to sample the fruit, exotic soda and chocolate selection, while C.O.V. and CL, started in on the beeer.
This run was live hared so we waited for the appointed time and took off in hot pursuit. The trail led down a narrow footpath beneath some poison ivy infested power lines, and quickly ran into some well placed checks to slow down the potential FRB's amongst us. Luckily for COV she checked the one that became True Trail, while CL and I ran off trail a ways checking long falses. The trail became sort of vertical, with undergrowth and lots of poison ivy as it led upwards to the third check point. It was here that we lost COV for a few moments. The trail led across someone's front yard who was out there fixing his old Ford PU truck, and who wasn't pleased to see anyone crossing his yard. After discussing the merits of Hashing with this character out of Deliverance ( and BTW his front yard was a Pistol range! ), he agreed to let us run through his yard, but meanwhile, CL had to go find COV who was off checking a false.And then cum back thru Mr. Green Teeths yard! Any who, we all cleared the danger area and quickly found the beercheck , however, the beer check did seem to be a little too close to down range, because as we began to slurp the suds the firing resumed at the range! Nice placement Flutterby...
The trail crossed Rte 116 below the Notch at this point and began a circuitutous route back to the SP. Highlights included a couple of sheer packed mud and dirt climbs and running thru another unwary civilians yard. At that point, the pack decided to skip Tresspassing charges and shortcutted back onto Rte 116 str8 back to the SP, where we caught the Hare doing ice cream from Atkins.
We conducted the circle beside an Apple orchard. Many beers were sacrificed to appease the Hash Godz. The HVH3 Hash Shit was awarded to yours truly for conspicous puking and colon blowing for the first six hours of the ride back from TITS in Virginia. The afore mentioned Hash Hounds we renamed to honor their "presents" at so many HVH3 hashes. The on after was at the South Amherst Ale House, which also became a mis-management meeting. Lesson learned here - they have really good pizza at the place across the street and they'll deliver it to the bar!
We discussed upcumming hashes and the the question about what to do for our fiftieth hash. It was decided to skip to our 51st, because Madame will be away till the middle of August, and also so that we would explore the possibility of offering to lay our 50th trail during the Saturday of the parachuting Hash in Northampton, sponsered by Cream Whora. The idea being this would enhance BH3's hash while giving people another reason to make it out even if they don't want to throw themselves out of a perfectly good airplane. We discussed making our 50th a Pub crawl Hash thru NoHo, that Saturday night. Also we would do Tee Shirts for the fiftieth. Madame said he would discuss these ideas with the BH3 folks, (who are mostly on our mailing list anyway so if he hasn't called yet, yer hearing it here)
So, our next hash will be No. 51, I think CL volunteered to Hare it.
