For the second consecutive weekend Mr. Bow Tie and Woodveil are attempting a hash. This week's hash was mysteriously close to last week's. Coincidence? Probably. Anyway, we thought we would have a relatively easy hash so long as there were not any "No Trespassing" signs. The hash itself was in a wooded area between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. We set off around 10am from Orange Park hoping to get there for an 11am meet-up. We intended to use google-maps to get us to within walking distance and according to google we would be able to get within 600m of the point with the car. Alas, technology is not perfect and northeast Florida is booming as far as construction and new development is concerned. Simply put, the map lied. Not once, not twice, not three times, but four times we encountered roadblocks on our way to the hash. Roads that for one reason or another someone did not want us to traverse. On our fifth attempt, we got as close as could (1.06km) and set out on foot.
