Name:<\/strong>\u00a0ZH3 Hash #1072: Border Patrol
\nLocation:<\/strong>\u00a0Restaurant Gartenhof \u2013 Testarossa,\u00a0Seestrasse 15A, 8805 Richterswil, Switzerland
\nHare:<\/strong>\u00a0Spunky McSpunk Face
\nRA:<\/strong>\u00a0Weapons of Ass Destruction

\nScribe:<\/strong>\u00a0The Shamcock<\/p>\n

After making the long and arduous journey from Z\u00fcrich to the border town of Richterswil, and enduring the horror of crossing many a SBB zone, the main herd of hashers arrived in a timely fashion to the On-In.\u00a0 They then had to endure frustrated beer drinking due to, several late comers and worry about the silent no shows, who we assumed had been kidnapped by the evil citizens of Canton Schwyz. Yes, we had traveled so far that we were on the borders of this hellish Canton.<\/p>\n

With a brief chalk talk we moved out, the hare’s warnings of hostile natives echoing in our ears.<\/p>\n

We set off at a brisk pace, following flour down to the lake, knowing in the back of our minds that the steep hill was behind us. The trail was well marked and the cries of On-On echoed through the dark streets. It was indeed steep with many a check back, which unlike last week the hashers actually ran. At one point, there was a collective “readers block”, which surprisingly happened at the UF check back.\u00a0 This occurred at the border of Z\u00fcrich where the hostility of the locals was greatest and the hill the steepest. Fortunately, after most of the hashers arrived the “readers block” resolved itself and we were able to continue.<\/p>\n

The hare\u2019s tales about the natives proved true. One local admitted to removing trail, but turned out to be a friendly fellow. He explained that he thought they were marks made by burglars, marking the houses, and so had them removed. After assuring him we were just a bunch of runners looking for beer at the end of the trail, we moved on enduring the hostile stares of many a native and even the slow drive of a large BMW.<\/p>\n

And so on to circle. Snacks were provided by Weapon Ass Destruction
\nAlso, under the new Beer-raiser system, drinks were provided by MeMe & Ice-Footsie, down down cups were forgotten so we drank out of our cans.<\/p>\n
