Hash #1: Pope Hash House Harriers, Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA, April 1, 1984. The origin of the infamous & highly regarded Carolina Trash. Courtesy of Teats de Swamp, who posted this valuable historical record to Facebook. If you have similar historical records worthy of sharing with the hashing community, please contact me. [...]  This is an older post, back on top with a fresh comment from Stu “The Colonel” Lloyd, author of “Hare of the Dog,” who is working on an updated edition for the Mother Hash 80th, later this year.
