Trail Details: 

Details:  So U2 really wanted to run the pack through Sweet Run State Park.  The place is beautiful, lots of trails, water crossings - would have been SO GOOD.  But - the weather.  The forecast for next week looks - wet.  So - change of plans!


Join U2 at his place for trail.  He promises it won’t reuse (much) of his previous trails - instead featuring abandoned warehouses, two highway crossings, couple neighborhoods, and a dry garage for circle. 

Will the weather be nice?  Will it be yucky?  Who knows - but the trail will be short, and the drinks will be cold!


ON-Sometimes Less Is More-ON

So what is Hashing? Wikipedia knows! Click HERE to find out! Generally, trail markings for W3H3 will be a chalk line or a flour blob is a Mark, find three and you are ON-ON but find an X and you are on a False Trail. Circles are Checks meaning trail could go in any direction so look for the next mark! Find an arrow with three lines in it and you are on the True Trail. Hares may get more creative, which you will learn at Chalk Talk before trail!

W3H3 Objectives:
