Plans

One of the few times that I was ready to actually burn gasoline to go to a hashpoint. I drove there after work.

Expedition

This one was a ton of fun. It was again one of the few times that I drove to directly to a hash and not as a detour because I knew it would be so cool. I stopped in the village as planned and bought a nice large bottle of juice. I drank about a third of it and then ran through the village to the lookout. I was planning on running north and then seeing if there was a cut-through to the east but it all looked like steep cliffs. Instead I continued and descended from the lookout on the northwest slope, which actually had a trail, into the desert. From there I followed the slopes to the hashpoint. There was sort of a trail. Everything was quite steep. I hash danced on a slope and then walked and ran back to town. From there I drove back to my home and picked up four hitchhikers on the way.

Israel Area C

The area where I was Israel Area C. There is an attempt on this site to call this area Palestine. In the discussion on Palestine, I explain why that cannot be. Not only it is not currently Palestine it hasn't ever been independently Palestine. I encourage people to change the Palestine site to a more appropriate definition. Please read the discussion page for more detail.
