Nah, it was just Lost in Space being Lost in Space, waiting for hashers to arrive. And they did, in a hurry and a flurry on a relatively mild, Chinook-fueled mid-January night.

Rookie co-hare Clueless, who doesn't really like beer but hashes because she enjoys walking and the social aspects of the group, wanted to make sure that everything was perfect, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
