SWH3 Hare Marks


	Dollop of flour, hare uses it to lay a trail to beer, follow them & yell "on-on" when you see it. Sometimes we'll use an "X" marked in chalk, toilet paper or shredded paper, we'll let you know at the start (known as "the circle").
	It is 3 of these,put them together, it makes a trail; it goes places you don't normally go but it does go to beer!
	Check Mark, (ring of flour) Dollops tend to gravitate to these. Trail from checks could go anywhere (sometimes, even behind you) you need to find the true trail. Beware, false trails will be encountered from checks....
	False Trail Mark, usually found at the end of a trail of dollops that go nowhere, Go back to the check & find true trail. Listen to the calls of "on-on" in the air.... you might find a shortcut to the front of the pack!
	Check Back, you were on true trail but it turned off somewhere along the way from the last check. Start checking backwards to find it, tell the rest of the pack!
	Pack Arrow, mostly good info. but not always correct, sometimes pointing to a shortcut.
	Hare Arrow (True Trail) Used to let the pack hounds know that they are going in the right direction (at least, as far as the trail is concerned).
	Turkey / Eagle split; Turkey is easier, mainly for baby joggers or people with walkers. Eagle trails are usually more fun (in a sick disturbing way ;)
	Beer Near, A sign to get your glands salivating....
	Beer Break, the reason why we run.....
	You Been Fooled (F#$%), usually at the end of a very long (or hilly or wet) false trail, go to the last check and find true trail. A 'Pack Arrow' should be waiting for you. Hares appreciate hounds who fall victim to this.
	Hash Halt, Stop and wait for the pack to regroup. Good time to check for ticks and discuss cuts & bruises. Useful after woods or water or long ass hauls on pavement... Usually totally ignored by Finger Lickin' Good.
	Tit Check, See if you have any... If you do, look for True Trail. If you don't, sit tight and wait for a harriette to find the true trail. Works well as a mini-hash-halt. It lets a harriette become a FRB (Front R*nning Bastard/Bitch)...
	Which Way, One or both ways may work..... You choose which way you want to go. Beware of YBF with these.
	ON-IN, the end..... Gather around, trail offenses are taken and Down-Downs are given out, songs are sung. The On-On-After is announced, we'll go to some place to get a bite to eat and drink.
	Practice with a Virtual Trail....
Trails are usually A to A (start and finish in the same place.) If it's A to A' (called "A Prime", the end will be near the start, within walking distance). If the trail is A to B, the trail will end in a far away place.... a "B" van will be provided to store clean clothes or gear in and it will be parked at the end (called On-In).... it will also be use to transport people back to the start. The first people back to their cars should return to help get the rest of the pack back to their vehicles.... A brief description of our Hash, The Start is know as the Circle, you "circle up" to hear information from the Hares (but you can never really trust a hare... they lie...) We'll give a virgin talk to the first timers, telling you about our marks (just in case you didn't read them here!!!). If you wear new rnning shoes (or really clean ones), we will make you drink out of them - it is considered to be disrespectful to the dirty* nature of Hashing. The object of hashing is to help each other find the true trail that leads us to the beer, competitive rnning, competitive attitude or even competitive gear will be considered a trail offense. Trail offenses* could be anything that happens on trail. The On-In is the end of the trail but NOT the end of the fun. At the ON-IN, all trail offenses are tallied up and we will once again "circle up" to give out punishment for the offenses....... these are called Down-Downs (liquid refreshment) they are not negotiable (but what's in them is, beer or h2o). We'll sing you a song and when we finish, you start drinking.... We'll tell you at the Circle, what you need to do. Afterwards at the On-On-After, we meet up at a restaurant or bar to continue the Jocularity.......
