The Plaidurday Hash, 5 October 2024
Hares: I’d Do Normal Cockwell, Whip It Out
Pack: Yes , there was a contingent of hashers and at least couple of virgins. I believe most of them signed the Book of Presence.
It was just a fantastic fall day. Almost too nice to hash. Almost I say, because there was a hash. A contingent of about 15 hashers and virgins gathered at Hunt Park in Ann Arbor for the last-minute themed and last-minute planned Plaidurday Hash.
After a brief but very thorough chalk talk the hares were off , soon to be followed by the pack. After a bit of the usual here and there the trail went into Bluffs Park. This is were something went a bit off. The runners ended up in a flour induced endless loop from which the eventually extracted themselves. The walkers? Well they did something as well.
The hares met up again at the beer check at one of the not unexpected beer check locations for that part of town and had themselves a beer. And another. We gradually realized that something was amiss. Cockwell went off to look for the runners. I had another beer. The running pack finally arrived and sated themselves with orange food and golden nectar. About 90 minutes after starting Sex and Ate rolled in and about 30 minutes after that, the rest of the walkers decided they wanted a beer too.
What kept the walkers so long from the beer? While doing chalk talk I noted that I had pink flour that would likely turn a bit white by the end of the trail Cockwell noted that he had white flour that would likely turn a bit pink before the end of trail. Sex only heard WHITE and proceeded to lead the rest of the pack in the above mentioned white flour endless loop.
In any case we all made it to the beer check with the second half of trail being shortened just a bit. Circle back at Hunt Park was run by GM emeritus Sex and Ate. There was much rejoicing and down-downs aplenty. We adjourned to Casey’s for the On-After. Casey’s now has a large outdoor patio in back where we sat for beers and foods.
On-See You at the Next Hash-On,
Whip
