Location

Doylestown, PA. In a nice, wealthy man's front lawn named Steve.

Participants

Mischief

Expedition

As it turns out I have family in Doylestown. So after an hour drive from Jersey I met up with my Aunt pre-hash and had some lunch. As another throwback the hash was right near a huge jungle gym I used to play on as a kid, so I took another detour and went down the slide for old time's sake. The hash was in a wealthy development of Doylestown and I took a side trail into the development that had a great view of a stream.

The hash turned out to be right on top of someone's lawn. So I went to the door and met Steve, who seemed very confused but nice, and allowed me to obtain photographic proof of the hash, before his wife angrily called him back inside. Sorry Steve.

Photos

Best jungle gym ever.
Brings back memories.
Nice Cathedral on the way home.
