Location

Shalom Memorial Park, a Jewish cemetery in Arlington Heights.

Participants

Plans

I was planning to spend the long weekend at a backgammon tournament in Chicago. Before I left Madison Friday morning, I checked the weekend's hashpoints for the Madison area, and also for some of the Chicago area graticules. Lo and behold, there was an easily accessible hash on Monday in a cemetery, right on my way home. Bonus for a land hash in the Kenosha grat, which is mostly water. Double bonus because I've never hashed in this grat. Triple bonus for a cemetery hash on Memorial Day!
