Hash break
Thu, 7 Nov. 2024, The Thirstday Hash, Blondie McFucksALot and Marbalus Asshole hared from Howl At The Moon for 15 hounds. That number included three visitors passing through Whip It Out, Follows Direction and an old friend, Mother Inferior, all from Ann Arbor. And we had a virgin, Just Amelia. And then we had the directions from Blondie McFucksALot. Purple chalk. We could barely see what she wrote at the start with a whole lot of stuff. What would it look like after we took off. I saw the second Check and the last arrow into the beer stop. And I was told where the stops would be. The pack had even worse troubles as they ran a circular route, CCW, over to Wolf Point and then north, etc. I missed all of that and barely beat in our walking visitors. But we had a short quic circle next to a high rise building, with security watching over us. Then is was back to the start for an evening of drinking, inside. I know these hares are new to Chicago, but how many times do we need to explain, no colored chalk in the dark. Especially blue and purple. The hounds just can't see the marks while running, with any consistency. Your trail should be all about the hounds trying to follow your trail at a run, some difficulty at Checks to allow the slow runners to catch up and not about what does this mean, have you seen anything in the last few blocks and what the hell do we do now. Please consider white, dry wall or railroad chalk, not sidewalk chalk in a rainbow of colors.
