This was a good one.  Hared by Captain Fro Ranger and Shiggy Mama, the pre-gaming (i.e. the drinking before the hash) took place in the Rivermont/Lupton City area of Chattanooga.  Actually, the pre-gaming may have taken place in someone's front yard - whoops.  Shig & Fro threw the hashers (CK, ReRun McNally, Thunder Pony & Papillion LePeu) for a loop right off the bat by starting out in two different directions in plain sight.  Believe you me when it was time to start running no one wanted to commit to a direction, as each hare went a good ways before turning out of sight.  In addition, this hash had a family trial for strollers.... and ReRun, who struck true to his name by running a pretty long way on the family trail thinking he was doing good.  Looks like we need to review colors with ol' ReRun.  Luckily the hashers found the true trail and managed to have a good run - down train tracks, past a homeless man walking the tracks (he was probably on a different hash run of his own), up out of side-of-the-road ruts, through fire station backyards and into the woods for a fun halfway point and some lovely liquid refreshment.  An old check-5 that was somehow somewhat scribbled over/used again got everyone twisted around pretty well at the beginning of the second half, but eventually after lots of re-running, true trail was located, partially with some help of some civilians ("What are you looking for?" is a question we're getting pretty used to hearing).  No hares were caught, which happily broke a recent trend of busted hares.  The finish line was the Bi-Lo parking lot on Hixson Pike, where circle was finally had after PLP and CK returned with Subway sandwiches the nabbed for themselves from the world's slowest sandwich maker.  That's ok, as CK ruined an $80 pair of shorts thanks to some dribbling sandwich goodness and we got to watch PLP berate him a bit.  In other news, people buy $80 pairs of shorts.  Anyway, back to the hash review:  after the circle (which is when ReRun first dropped the hint (threat?) of an online presence for ChooChooH3), the original plan was for everyone to enjoy more frosty drinks at the Diamond billiard club, but ReRun and TP had to head to Dalton to pick up a fresh batch of meth.  With another well-hared hash under ChooChooH3's belts, it's clear the runners are getting good and the hares are getting better.
