Buena at Kenmore. A to B. $0 or BYOB Hash CashChicagoHash.com x The Tale of the Trailx Sat, Apr 10, 2021, The Big Dog Hash. Back Door Bizzle laid a spectacularly shitty and muddy and difficult trail atFort
Sheridan and through Openlands Forest Preserve in potentially rainy
weather, although that didn't really happen. The weather that is. But
the rest was true as 7 hounds took off on this adventure on areas I
never saw before. Which means some definitely virgin trail. Would we get
scratched, cut, bruised and wet. Not
really, but one hound got pricked. (more on that later). After
gathering under a bridge we finally got a circle and took off. Right
back to the top of the bridge area, about 200 yards straight up, and a
Check. Lower Wackoff found that and we headed south and then into the
preserve along a concrete path. Concrete? WTF. But that wouldn't last
long. Near the lake bluff area we ran into the first obstacle on the
trail. "No Trespassing, Explosive Area, Possibly buried ordinance".
Ooops. If you take a step and hear a click, DON'T MOVE until Horn-E gets
safely away. A Check had us finally getting into some serious prairie
and I ended way off trail wandering. Yes, again. But with a little hare
assistance, I was back on trail for two marks and a Check. While I
wandered around over a little hill and into the prairie, trail was found
into a deep, steep ravine. I got about half way down when trail was
coming right back up. But Cockholm Syndrume was seen leaping over rocks
and back and forth over the raging steam from all of the previous rain.
Back at the edge I followed Just Do Me Slowly and Zone 2 who was really
in the zone. Was there beer ahead. Where their pricks ahead. Yes to both
as she led us up a steep hill full of small skinny trees that were full
of thorns. About a half inch long. Lower Wackoff would call that
'Little Boys Hill'. But little pricks or not, after the beer stop the
Harrietts, Just Do Me Slowly and Zone 2 left the pack and returned to
the start. I guess they just got to excited and had to go off and dream
on their own. Meanwhile the big pricks, from the young to the old, ran
on. We did get a Back Checkheading towards the bluffs and steep
declines, that the Hare didn't mention. Garmin came back telling us it
was a Back Check eleven D one. We did end up running through a housing
area and towards another ravine. Hey, I finally found a mark. It was a
steep decline into the abyss and the zombie hounds. Something about that
bare skin, rotting carcass, and such, got False Advertising thinking up
a new song about doing a dead hound and sucking. Well, experienced
hashers know the song it came from and I'll leave that to your sick
minds or nightmares. Here we encountered more raging waters as we then
followed the stream up towards it's source. Must have been at least 300
yards of jumping back and forth over the waters trying to stay dry above
our hips, or falling off of slippery rocks, and get washed away. But we
finally survived with a final muddy climb out of the ravine. From here
it was mostly just running along streets and roads as we skirted around
Federal Property and back to the finish. At this point I thought I was
DFL, but Lower Wackoff finally caught me. The hare did give me and Lower
Wackoff a short cut past a gate and down a winding road into the ravine
to where we started. Circle was held there, out of the slight rain but
in a raging wind tunnel. A modified Big Dog Circle where we gave a few
DDs and then designated the next R. A. And that is where we heard False
Advertising whine about getting pricked in the thorny woods. After that.
False Advertising had a pocket full of wooden nickels and headed to the
Wooden Nickel. I know he likes girlie bars, but he dragged Zone 2 with
him. Now most girlie bars include stuffing dollar bills into girls
panties, but wooden nickels in the nickel slots is a new one. x Sun, Apr 11, 2021, Chicago Hash. False
Advertising and Just Davinia laid a trail from Arrigo Park for 9
walkers. Okay, we also had 17 running hounds. We started out to the
north end of the park only to return on a Back Check and head out to the
south side of the park and then south to Taylor. And I'm behind
already. We cross Taylor and head south on Loomis and all of a sudden
the pack is returning on a Back Check. But they went way past where the
Back Check was solved and meanwhile that had Hooch B4 Cooch and myself
heading west in an alley looking for marks. Now I'm really far behind.
But I return and follow the disappearing pack across Roosevelt and
through some housing areas and south on Ogden and finally west on 14th
street to Morgan and a quick beer stop by the tracks. I'm not drinking
so I ask False Advertisiag for the on out. Like I can believe anyone
named False Advertising. But I head out under the tracks to a Check. I
picked right, left, and was soon on and back under the tracks to the
north. On 15th Pl the trail went east to Halsted where the hares tried
to f*ck with the pack. South towards the underpass and then climb down
into the speedimg traffic, climb over a medium and back into traffic and
climb out the other side and over or through the fence. Yeah. like I'm
going to do that. I go north about fifty yards from 15th Pl. and cross
at the light and I'm back on trail running through a housing area and
climbing up about 87 steps, I lost count at my age. Now trail heads
north to 14th place and I missed the turn mark so I'm south to 13th.
Around the block and back and I'm on trail again. I keep looking but no
pack in sight. I head east to a Split and naturally pick wrong. So
further north and a back check and I'm at a check at Maxwell. Now I have
three choices and still no pack in sight. So I go west and eventually I
can't even find a second mark. So I return and Mommys Comming is coming
towards me. Damn, the pack caught up. As we keep running back to the
Check I see almost the whole pack run by and I'm alone in the rear. "The
last shall be first and the first shall be last. And so it was written
and so it shall be done". From here it was into the Campus and forty2
steps from hell before heading out of the campus and west on Polk
following Ice Princess but never quite catching him, and on in to Arrigo
Park and the circle. And so we gathered until the last walker, Menage A
Twat came on in. Then Hooch B4 Cooch led us in a circle and the hares
drank and drank and we were introduced to our virgins, Just Carter and
Just Ricky who both did a proper Down Down. We finally ended that part
of circle and we were taking on the naming of our hare, Just Davinia.
That was a large circle and it got quite rowdy and fun as great
questions were asked and many suggestions for names were submitted. But
it finally came down to Just Davinai getting away with not having the
balls to run a Bushman Hash, her first Chicago Area hash, and getting
away with it. So she will forever more be known as All Bush No Balls.
After that we kept hanging around in the park on a sunny day and
enjoying spring, and the Harriets were constantly heading off to some
tree stump with a blanket to do what the men had to do in the open area
behind one of the few trees. Isn't hashing in nature fun? X
