on Jul 23rd, 2007Tale of the Trail Chicago #1501 @ Cork & Kerry
Monday, July 23
Monday night brought a fresh round of hash reinforcements to the far South Side hood of Beverly for Chicago #1501 (yes, we don’t waste any time ’round here). For those who have never been, Beverly is like almost 1/3 of the way to Indy! Milk My Yak (who is also the hasher who fabricated the legendary Keg Hoist) set what I heard was a great trail out of Cork & Kerry @ 106th & Western. As it took me nearly 2 hours to get there from the far NORTH suburbs where I work I missed the entire trail but heard the beer stop was at Mount Me’s crib on Rockwell.
For those who don’t know, this cat is like the only hasher I know of that has more train noise than me (trust me the mile long Union Pacific freight trains that rip by at 90 miles an hour made even this hardened rail-proximity veteran think an earthquake was in progress first time I heard it at 4am when I crashed there following the South Side Irish Parade).
Anyhow yet another beautiful night out in beer garden at Cork and Kerry and the hash enjoyed a good circle and the wonderful traffic of the Dan Ryan Expressway construction on our way back to civilization after that. Sorry no pictures because my camera was still recovering from 1500 but hats off to handful of us that did all four days. We got a down-down for that, and as God is my witness, I will never drink again. Really….
Party on on,
ITS
