Hash #158 - The Quincentenary of the Island of Florida!

What: It's a Hash!
When: Saturday Sep 27 at 2pm
Where: Moneda 2155
Other Details:

It's $3000CL. There's a run, and a pot-luck pic-nic after. We run ~7k or walk ~4k, then have our ritual, followed by the food and general mingling.

This Saturday, we celebrate the quincentenary of Ponce de Leon acquiring Florida to look for the Fountain of Youth. We're not serious historians. Just youthful in developmental terms. Cone on out & have some fun.

What's up with Florida, you ask? Well - 500 years ago on the 27th of September (give or take 10 days or so. Thanks, Obama...), Ponce de Leon managed to get it to himself from the crown, so he could go hunting for the Fountain of Youth. And they thought Florida was an island then.

Don't worry. Contemporary history will look just as silly to folks 500 years from today.
