After 7 successful trails, and three well participated social events, it was time for one final hash. The regularly scheduled H5. Also the third trail in a row I hared.

Trail started out well, with the walkers properly instructed of the turkey / eagle split. Then 10 minutes later, the rest of the eagles were properly instructed, and off they go. So then, our hare, Hazukashii sneaks back up the hill to remark the finish, as this was an A to A trail that would come back in on the same trail. BUT, there were a few hashers that turned up late. Totally my fault for not stopping them, to explain the instructions . . . but just telling them as they passed by . . . if you are on eagle, when you get to the 5 dollops of flour, go to the T and turn LEFT. Well, this is what turned out to be a problem. 😊 Some hashers came down the hill, and turned right . . . taking them back around on the eagle trail. My huge Mea Culpa. I should have marked it differently, somehow making it clear that there was a trail cross over, and for the eagles to head back through the T/E split, and follow the turkey trail on home. Just look at the map, it seems clear . . . but I am cursed. 😊 Anyway . . . a couple of us went back out on trail, and all wandering hashers were recovered in short order . . . much love to you all. Hashing is my life, and I don’t know what I would do if someone ended up lost or hurt on one of my trails. Farewell, I am flying out tomorrow, next stop PERU.Read more
