Jolly Roger H3 #1539

After the drive from Canada back down to Greene, I had an early start leaving at 1 am and headed to JFK to fly out at 10 am. After boarding the plane, and taxiing out, the captain states we have a light indicator on the fuel system, and we had to return to the gate. Initial indication is that it would be about 15-20 minutes to add some fuel, and off we go. A half hour goes by, and he comes back and says . . . other issues have come up, and they are going to replace a couple tires on the aircraft. Flight is now delayed another 30 minutes. Finally, 90 minutes after our scheduled departure, we are airborne and on our way to Florida. Glad we got that stuff taken care of BEFORE we were in the air. :)

So here I am in Tampa again, hanging out before heading out to Hawaii for teh Aloha H3 30th Anniversary, week long hashing event. Aloha H3 was the first hash club I founded, so getting the chance to go back out and hare the trail.

Here in Tampa, we had probably the BEST 2-Rung trail ever. After cutting behind a couple buildings, trail hit the main road and turned left. Crossing over, we soon found a check back, and trail headed up along the railroad tracks for a long way, with several checks. Eventually, we found trail passing through a hedgerow into a business complex, and a boob check. Patiently waiting for Casual Friday to catch up, we eventually were back on trail back on the main road, where it crossed back over to a which-ee-way. Turning left, we headed back towards the start, only to find a right turn that eventually turned into a false trail. Back to the main road, trail again turned right, up along an off ramp, where we found loads of ankle deep shiggy trail along the highway. Splashing our way along, a beer check was eventually found hidden in the brush, before we crossed back over the highway. We then found a true trail arrow pointing us right once again, and into a park along the dump. From there, it was up the sidewalk and back into the parking lot where loads of cold beer awaited the sweaty pack. A totally S H I T T Y . . . T R A I L. Well done 2-Rung. It was also my 150th trail with the Jolly Roger H3.Read more
