Hash Markings


HASH MARK This is the basic hash mark. You will see this through out a trail. Traditionally if you see three hash marks in a row you are on trail. But beware the hares. They can be a despicable bunch.		TRUE TRAIL If you see this mark you know you are definitely on the right track

CHECK These are two possible marks signifying a check. When you find one of these on trail the trail can pick up in any direction for that point. The hare will normally place one or more false trails from this point and the one true trail.		*TTTY CHECK** If you are the first males to find this check, you must wait for the females to arrive. Females have the option of either finding the true trail on their own, or they can flash the pack and at that point the males can assist them in finding the true trail.

WHICH WAY If you see this mark on trail the trail may pick up in one of two directions designated by the arrows. Again, beware the false trail ;-)	This which way is seen when there are two true trails. One is a Manly trail, or a trail for runners and those who can go through the rough terrain. The other is the Wuz trail, for those who will walk the trail.

ON BACK This mark is seen at the end of a false trail. Just turn around and head back to the last CHECK or WHICH WAY.	*YOU'VE BEEN FCKED** Just like this sounds. You normally find it at the end of an especially long false trail. You can thank those diabolical hares for this ;-)

BEER NEAR This sign is one of the most sought after on trail. It signifies that there is a beer stop nearby.	ON HOME This mark is seen close to the end point of the hash. Now you can enjoy the social aspects of beer and song.
