HVH3 #85 Hash Trash "New Year's Hangover Hash"
(The Hash Previously known as HVH3 #77)
1 JAN 04 New Years Hangover Hash.
The HVH3 faithful braved freezing temps and assembled for a hangover hash.
North Leverett Co Operative Store
Pick up hash rules.
The pack assembled, remarkably on time at 1330 HRs.
Hashers Present: Hand Job, Mr. Hankey, Col. Mustard, Comes On Vacation, Cainus Lickus, Dewey Do Me, and yours truly, Anti-Cock.
We flipped a coin and decided that since no one called it in the air, we would nominate NFN Ellie as the hare. ( I should mention that Scruffy and Zuni were also present, but I forget their hash names).
Trail proceeded south towards Rattlesnake Gutter, which is a glacial spillway gorge from the old Lake Hitchcock days following the last ice age.
There was a check that held up the pack at the waterfalls on the Mill River. Trail was detected going uphill ( ofcourse) into Rattlesnake Gutter. Just past the blocked off section, trail changed from a firm grip to an icy hard pack.
The first beercheck was in a bear cave that was luckily uninhabitated.
Trail proceeded along the length of Rattlesnake Gutter until we reached a backcheck that drove us back up hill towards the midpoint of the Gorge.
A false led to some exploration of small caves, but TT went back on itself, towards the entrance to RG. The trail dipped down to the base of the waterfalls on the Mill River. Then shortcutted across some powerlines back to the Leverett Coop.
The On In was at the scene of the previous nights festivities. Beverage of choice was Yuengling Porter.
We are on a winter's relaxed schedule, so our next hash is up for grabs for anybody who wants to hare.
