Kennel Info:
Culturally, this is a hash. We hold opening and sometimes closing circle, have BC's/SC's, sing songs at vistas and use hash names. We even have something similar to a hashit called a hashackle to carry the hare provided beverages. However, what we do not have that most hashes have is a marked trail. This is because, ideally, we hike by the light of the full moon without our cranium lamps. We also do not run. This is a hiking kennel. We focus on being social and enjoying nature and the night together in the moonlight. This kennel is lead by the hare on a hike on established trails. At the start of trail, the voluntold hashackle victim acts as a sweeper hare and also earns hare credit. The lead hare will sometimes choose to move the trail up or back a day from the actual full moon to obtain better moonshine for MsH3 patrons. When the full moon falls on a Wednesday, W3H3 serves as the MsH3 trail and attendees get dual-trail credit. We also have a yearly full moon backpacking trip.
MsH3 Objectives:
-Promote physical fitness among our members
-Get rid of weekday stress
-Acquire a good thirst
-Persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
