See my calendar at www.brownbearsw.com/freecal/hashcal and my web site at HHHinChicago.com Visitors and new hashers
(virgins), we start meeting at the listed
times and start hashing a half hour later. Time for a quick beer. Anyone
want off this list,email Horn-E at H3HornEH3 and it will be done.
Urban hashing in Chicago is returning with some differing conditions. Will advise as best as I know or check their web sites. Things keep changing and I am just getting out the best info I have at the moment.New
hashers or visitors, because of the virus and lock down, many hashes
are back yards or parks and laid back finishes. Lawn chairs might be
advised. Visitors, we might have a spare. Life is what it is.
Four
hashes in a row this weekend. And good weather promised. I know a lot
of you are still in Covid Hibernation, but come on out before you go
into Covid/winter hibernation and completely forget what hashing is
about.

sure someone will hare, but not sure who or where. Last time I looked
they had Crash Test Dummy listed on the Hareline page and no one on the
opening page. And no location. So, keep checking the web site. Hash Cash $5 or BYOB ChicagoHash.com
The Tale of the Trail Sat Sep 12, 2020, The Big Dog Hash, False
Advertising hared from Evans Field, wrongly called Jerome Hubbert Woods
because of mis communication between the hare and Horn-E. Sorry Stuffin
Muffin who arrived late but actually caught some of us on trail and led
us. So there were 6 on trail eventually. We started east and then north
in a tiny section of woods and immediately lost the trail. I went back
to last mark and found trail heading over some grass and into the woods.
At the bottom of a little slope was wet lands and a Turkey Eagle Split.
Eagle was into the wet lands, actually dry but swamp grasses and razor
grass and elephant grass, Hell, it was so high it would take a giraffe
to eat from the top. A tall giraffe. And there were some grasses knocked
down and a slight trail with traces of flour here and there. The most
fun section of trail I ran all year. This was starting out to be the
best trail of the year. But it was right after the swamp where the hare
dropped his flour and lost half of it to water. So the marks got slight
and hidden and mixed up. I led for another hundred yards of good woods
before a lost trail. Hooch B4 Cooch and Lifa passed me here and I was
stuck struggling to pull 357 burrs out of the hair on my knee and then
everyone passed me. But I ran on and eventually found my way out of deep
woods and to a path behind everyone else. And this path led back to a
real wide path and back to the start. Now that wasn't right. And some of
the pack were returning to find trail and where we screwed up. Yep, we
missed a False. And so we back tracked and came to the Check and started
looking. I lost everyone and wandered through all sorts of paths and
deep woods, sometimes seeing two or three marks and then losing trail.
Eventually I saw Lifa ahead. He was on some sort of trail, but lost it.
Well, he ranged on and eventually headed towards a known path. I kept
working that area and finally found the trail and lost it, found it,
lost it, found it, lost it. Well, this went on and on. Eventually I
found a path and was on trail and running well until I finally came up
on Lower Wackoff and Stuffin Muffin, going the the other way, like
towards me. I looked around and saw a mark off trail and the three of us
were on with Stuffin Muffin leading. About five minutes later we were
looking for trail and I realized that this was where I ran into Lifa
earlier. I big freakin' loop. I told them and they wanted to run on. At
this point I said enough and headed back. They lasted about five to ten
minutes before they realized why I wouldn't follow. That trail was
almost impossible. So they also returned. We held a Big Dog circle and
sang The Hash Hymn. Sweet Low, and soon headed home, muddy but
satisfied. Maybe if the hare didn't lose half of his flour.
Sun Sep 13, 2020, The Chicago Hash. Ice
Princess was the scheduled hare, with a maybe start at Kaseys. Then on
Sat I got word that the location changed to Redmonds where they were
having a closing party, busted by to much Carona and other bull shite.
And there would be a co hare of Silent But Deadly. Ten hounds managed to
show up. All men for the third hash in a row. Don't Chicago Area
Harriets run any more. Anyhow
we took off under the El tracks and down to Belmont, through an alley
and then west for a few blocks and back to Belmont for three long
straight blocks. Then we were north on Southport to just past the El
Tracks and back to the start. Less the 2.5 miles and 30 minutes. Hooch
B4 Cooch led a laid back circle and along came a Harriet. No, not a
Chicago Harriet. But soon to be. A transplant. Didn't get her name, but
welcome.
