Hare: Thar She Blows
Pack: Shitter’s Full, Aunteater, Just Rachel, Timberballs, Cindy Bear, Just Veronica, Mu-Sick, XSNRG, Crack Of, Just Courtney, Just Shawn, Schoolhouse Cocks
The pack gathered at the Boathouse Bar at Coconut Mallory for a few prelube beers on this lovely full moon evening. The hare presented the chalk talk, which included a special briefing on a “U-Turn check,” at which the pack was supposed to create a “U” and take a photo, then make a U-Turn on trail. The hare promised it would be obvious when the pack saw it. More on this later….
After a 10 minute head start, the pack was away, down Casa Roma lane and then north past the VA clinic. After carefully crossing the triangle, the pack found a check, and soon found the trail that led into the Hyatt parking lot and along the trail beside Cow Key channel. Timberballs was the first to round the corner and encounter the BN, followed closely by Mu-Sick, but they lost trail in the sandy beach area. A quick shoutout of “beer check” by the hare (who was waiting at the beer check) led them to the fabulous tiki bar on the beach behind the Hyatt. Who knew this bar was there?????
The hare shared a drink with the pack, then was off again, into the parking garage of the Marriott Beachside. A check there really slowed the pack, as there were about eight possible directions to go! Trail led through one of the garages, into the pool area, back into another garage, and out onto North Roosevelt. The pack got a bit spread out, but found the scent again in the grassy lawn by 24 North. Out the back gate they went, solved a few checks, and soon found another beer check at Article 69 and Just Kara’s house. Even though only the dogs were home, the pack let themselves into the back yard pool area and began to drink. After a couple of minutes, Article 69 and a very pregnant Kara returned home to find the hashers in their backyard. Article 69 joined the merriment and Just Kara showed us all how pregnant she was. This beer check proved to be a great delay tactic by the hare, who now had plenty of time to lay the last section of trail.
Trail headed south to a check which spread the pack out again, then into the public housing complex, past the senior center, and on south to Flagler. The pack wound back and forth between Flagler and Eagle, finally crossing South Roosevelt and finishing back at CocoMal.
A fun Circle was held on the docks to avoid annoying bar patrons and condo guests (I just re-read that sentence, and realized it could mean that we were trying not to annoy them OR that we were trying to avoid them because they were annoying – take your pick). Thankfully the no-see-ums seemed not to notice us. The hare was made to drink for a predictably shitty trail. Visitors were awarded welcome down-downs, and virgin Shawn entertained us with his aft body part. Schoolhouse joined us for circle, but had not done trail due to continuing back problems, so of course she had to drink. Our RA, XSNRG, opened the floor for accusations and tales from trail. The hare was called into the circle again to drink because nobody found the “U-turn” mark. Oh well, we’ll save that for another trail…
A few more down-downs and a Swing Low later, the circle was adjourned and the group moved to Higgs Beach for the full moon party. Thar passed out mylar space blankets for the theme of the full Moon Party, the “Bright and Shiny” full moon. They were really hot to wear, so not many chose to put them on, but Mu-Sick got lots of complients on his bright and shiny cape.
