After getting to the hash, we made our way back to the car and then continued to walk down the road deeper into the State forest. At the loop at the end of the road was a geocache making this a Hash Collision Honorable mention. Also, right there, was a semi-overgrown and very rutted road. We followed this which connected to another maintained access road/loop on the other side of the park. We followed this trail to the road at the gate by the entrance on that side. Turning around there, we made our way back to the car and headed home. | After getting to the hash, we made our way back to the car and then continued to walk down the road deeper into the State forest.

I wasn't sure what we had planned for Saturday so I didn't want to create a planning page and jinx the Sat Meetup potential(again). Turns out we had nothing set so I was able to get out of the house at 15:00 and drove to the state forest with the dogs. I wasn't quite sure where to park, but on the road coming out of the forest was a guy and his dog. I stopped and asked if there was a parking area down the road which he said there was, along with a loop at the end of the road to turn around too.
There wasn't really a parking area, but there was a flat spot that just happened to be very close to the hash. I pulled in there and we worked our way to the hash, trying to avoid the worst of the watery, muddy spots. I arrived at the hash a bit late, but close enough that I'm counting this as my very first Official Saturday Meetup!
After getting to the hash, we made our way back to the car and then continued to walk down the road deeper into the State forest. At the loop at the end of the road was a geocache making this a Hash Collision Honorable mention. Also, right there, was a semi-overgrown and very rutted road. We followed this which connected to another maintained access road/loop on the other side of the park. We followed this trail to the road at the gate by the entrance on that side. Turning around there, we made our way back to the car and headed home.
I thought I would push the rules a little bit and create a Tale of Two Hash challenge simply for 'State Forest' which should make for many options to complete. Note: On 2020-06-29 I completed my own challenge by hashing in Little Rock City State Forest in the Buffalo Graticule.
Photos
Since it was already a bit after 4pm, we first went to the hash.
Accuracy.
Hot dogs at the hash.
I'm happy to make my first Official Meetup.
It's official.
Then we followed the road for an extended hike. This is looking back toward the car.
We came across (what I think are) a few gas wells in the forest.
We also found a geocache for a Hash Collision event.
