Report

This hash was right off the highway, at about the halfway point in the trek to our Saturday meet up. However, the hash was located in amongst some ferocious briars (called "cat briars" in these parts), about 75 meters from the edge of the road. And the vines were big, and the thorns sharp, hard, and numerous. We waived to a friendly neighbor who had maneuvered his wheelchair to see us fighting our way out of the raptor trap maze. I deduced from his cap that he may have been a disable veteran. Wish now we would have taken the time to walk over and speak to him.
