Trail #281: The Two Moons Over My Hammy! Trail – Behind Kilroys at
the Ravensworth Shopping Center, Fairfax, VA (2007-11-13)
Hares: Ass Odor and 14K
So were two fat guys really going to lay trail in the
hopes/estimation that not either of us would get caught? People started
assembling behind Kilroy's. I ganked two ESB's off the beer
check, thinking nobody would notice, and proceeded to hand them out
anyway. I was left with no beer until the chuck wagon arrived. Thank
God for Corn! You're doing a bang up job. We had the pleasure of
Wayne/Wade/Chuck Norris/ Dog the Bounty Hunter's presence thanks to
Your Honor…I think he's a natural. He was raring to go…He
stuck on the heels of the enormously capable Lactose. Fresh from a
stint down at Cayo Hueso I might add…12 days of Halloween fun
camping down at Key West… Must be nice!
We had some visitors. Namely Connie (who had hashed before, but was
going to attempt to do her first 50 miler, the JFfreakingK) and her boy
toy Ryan. We had some OTH contingent, both the HashMaster SheFingeredMe
and RA Air Spanker-1. Shaving the bush as usual, although I don't
know if she'll claim OTH as her mother hash anymore. Two YumYumBoys
Spike and Mowgli. I thought for sure one of those ass clowns would nail
me. I say me because Ass Odor had the locked in easy no way to catch
him part. Although anytime your laying trail after 25 minutes of pack
time, you should always look over your shoulder. That's a free
tip…
Holy said we were doing an A to A, but that was a mistake, so he
graciously offered to lend us his wheels for bags. We would have to
make two trips back as there were only the two of us. We introduced
ourselves, and then we had to split like bad dog's pants when he
bends over. That first ¼ mile of the parking lot sucked, and we
scurried down the hill and down braddock road until we were across from
Wakefield Park. Ogre laid a true trail and proceeded to lay the first
half of true trail all, immediately banging right onto the paths that
paralleled both Braddock and later 495. Check back into a check back
into a check back Ogre style. He should patent that move. It helped
that it was dark, but there are some cool paths back there. He led them
through the outskirts of the park, and finally brought them west bound
onto the big ass powerline where there was the Beer check (minus two
ESBs) and the Walker/Runner Split…
That was essentially where Ogre was done as from now on he was laying
the Walkers trail while I picked up the Long portion. I found my way
through the dense fog going North/West and banged a hard right to head
to the tunnels going under 495. then I had to hightail it to the next
tunnel to bring the pack back to the powerline and continue heading
north/west into a checkback that brought them all the way across the
powerline, where I headed into the woods on the opposite side. I took
the time to admire the sea of lights heading my way through the fog from
atop a hill and continued on. I used my light sparingly thinking all of
the pack was behind and down the powerline from me. Butt to my chagrin,
I damn near ran right into Kane. He asked me if I was lost and I cursed
at him. He was hoping for Ogre, but got me instead. So I told him to
pipe down and just follow. We meandered down some switchbacks and when
I got down to the bottom of the path, I made the wiser choice of cutting
trail short and not crossing the creek into some serious shaggy. I did
this because a. it was cold, b. the pack was on my ass, and c. I
didn't think I would have enough flour to make it through the high
grass. So I did the next best thing where I looped trail back on
itself, and made an outgoing bt into a forward going true trail. I then
had to link up with where Ogre's trail hit and I was done. SFM was
on me like stink on poop, but I made it to the link up. From there I
went to go back to the beer check to clean up and have a beer if any
were left and I find Holy and Little C already cleaning up. Thanks,
guys. Although they blew through the beer, I took the bag from them and
Kane and I went back to get the bag vehicle while those two continued on
trail.
I told kane where the finish was and he set off to get the vehicle while
I made it back to finish hoping that Ogre would have laid flour around
my hideous intestinal sculpture that I left the previous night. But
alas it was not to be. I no sooner got to the finish and people were
already complaining that they didn't have their bags so they could
change their clothes. You can never please all the people all the time.
We tried to make circle quick, as people were cold, namely
GetOffMyEasySister and Shaving the Bush. They just needed some liquid
antifreeze. Post circle, we walked back to the start and headed into
Kilroys…
On Out,
14kt
