If you wanna hash, there are a few symbols you need to know.
Dots: You’re on trail. 3 in a row, and you’re on True Trail (True Trail) – unless you’re on a false trail!
Check: From here, the trail can go in 369° – don’t just stand there, go find TT! 3 dots after the check = TT
True Trail: You’re on trail! Follow the arrow!
False Trail: You’re at the end of a false trail. Go back to the last check.
Whichy Way: Trail continues in one of the arrow directions. 1st dot after = On Trail.
Arrow: Directional guide, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re on TT. Some hares may use this symbol as a check.
Beer Near: One of our favorite marks. You’re coming up on a beer stop!
On-In: Congrats, you’re at the end of the trail! Drink Up!
We often have “extra credit” symbols that may be used at the hare’s discretion; those will be explained before we start the hash.
The most important thing to remember is the hares are known to lie a little (in some cases, a lot).
