Tampa Bay (Full Moon) H3 #1151

We had an amazing orange full moon in the sky by trails end, but it was all trail before that. A dozen hashers gathered for this night time venture north of St Pete. It was less than a half mile to the first water crossing (not really, but it was marked for a short cut if you did). After a few more zig-zags, the pack found the Turkey Eagle split, which allowed the walkers to cut off well over a mile of trail. The eagles however, got the full 5 miles of joy running through various empty parking lots, and barren sidewalks. Heading north back towards the finish, trail cut under the highway bridge, then through some shiggy stickers, before finding the last swirl back towards the finish . . . BUT, not before one final water crossing just before the finish. Everyone managed to finish the trail in just over an hour, and circle commenced with much rejoicing. Obviously, the hare (Hazukashii) got the first down down, but then we went straight into accusations . . . and there were plenty. The two that actually did the water crossing got a frothy beverage, the late arrivals got theirs, and various other offenses . . . and then the entire pack went on to stay for the on-after at Whiskey Wings. Another great night of hashing.Read more
