I can't be held responsible for last minute changes. If you see something you might like to do, always verify at their web site for last minute changes or confirm with the hare

Mon. 11 Nov, 2019, 7:00pm. The Chicago Full Moon Hash, Lower Wackoff will hare a great trail, so great he is repeating it, from Hantree Inn at 5333 N. Milwaukee.There will be woods in the dark, so flashlights recommended. There will be snow like a winter wonderland. The hell with global warming. We're tough and we can take it. It will also be the coldest day this winter, but not really all that bad. Call it a winter conditioning run. Besides, the woods aren't that windy and the bar is a good dive bar. $8 Hash Cash

Sat. 16 Nov. 2019, 2:00pm, The Bushman Hash, Horn-E has been dragged away from his moving adventures to set another particularly shitty hash, this time from Edgebrook Woods. This is off of Central just south of the west ending terminal of the Peterson Bus route, available from the Bryn Mawr Red Line stop. (East end). Also accessible from the Edgebrook Metra Station. Just a  short walk south along Central. And accessible by CTA from the Jefferson Park Blue Line stop. Look for a Central bus and exit at the first stop over the river. Then walk north a little. Typical Bushman Hash, all woods all the time, beware of water crossings and fast moving trains and speeding cyclists. Maybe a road crossing or two, but right back into the woods. Currently predicting a balmy 43 degrees. Remember, it is a men's hash, but Harrietts are welcome if they have the balls. If not. the hare will provide a pair of golf balls in a sock for them to ware. We accept and welcome creativity. $5 Hash Cash. HHHinChicago.com.

The Tale of the Trail

On Tue, 5 Nov, 2019, Lifa set a trail from First Draft for the 4X2H4 Hash. We had a large crowd, well, for 4x2, of six hounds. We headed north and to a check on Harrison and Wells. Trail was found by Berts Special Friend to the north and Horn-E was in hot pursuit. Yeah, like that kept up. Meat Inside Her quickly passed me and Pussy Up was right behind her. I never saw False Advertising and Its Too Soft again until the beer stop. I also lost the front group due to traffic lights. I crossed Wacker Drive and missed the Split on the other side. Now, as I headed north on Wacker Drive, It would have been nice it the front runners called ON so I could follow the pack going back south on the other side of the street. Maybe they did, but we all know I can't hear. So I went straight west to Canal. No marks. They were one block south running west to Canal and heading south. But I made a fatal decision here. Thinking that I must have missed a Split (I did), I assumed the hare would go north and eventually through the loop. So I ranged. Big mistake. I finally found that Split I missed and headed south and followed a fairly predictable trail that eventually crossed the Dan Ryan and through the U of I area and back east on Roosevelt. I finally found the pack at a beer stop in a little park just south of the bar. Back at the bar, the pack quickly dispersed and three didn't even stop for a drink. I thought we were a drinking club with a running problem.

Then on Sun 10 Nov. 2019, we had a double header. It started with a Big Dog Hash set by Gay Dancer from his house to near the start of the Chicago Hash. I understand about 8 were there and they had a long circle. Don't know anything else. 

But the Chicago hash came next, Sun 10 Nov 2019 and we had 10 on trail. The trail was set by Dr. Cockvorkian and a visitor, Thomas the Drank Engine. Thomas the Drank Engine then swept trail with Drill In My Box. The Miskas was cosed, but with fainr weather we met outside and took off. It started with a Check at the corner, but true trail sent south and east in the alley behind the bar. That had the pack really split and scattered everywhere. But we all finally got on trail and headed east and north. But with a scattered pack I quickly fell behind everyone but the sweeps. Then I missed a turn and ranged up to addison and over to Lincoln and didn't find a single mark. Because the trail didn't go that way you dummy. Finally back on trail I was now way behind even the sweeps. So as the trail headed north I made a good calculation that they would head over towards the river and the little strip of park along the river and just north of Belmont. And I was right. Unfortunately I still didn't see any marks andwas there before the pack arrived for the beer stop. Damn. So I ran on and eventually a found trail into a park and a B. Unfortuantely, that was the B from the Big Dog Hash. Damn. So I returned to the bar and some non runners were already gathering and eventually the pack arrived. Circle was led by Hooch B4 Cooch and the hares got there due. Then most left and there were about 20 more beers to finish. It is a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
