Subject: What / where is Cappadocia?
The 1997 Annual Cappadocia Weekend Hash was announced a few weeks ago, and I've
received a few queries from Hashers who are wondering where and what
"Cappadocia" is. I hope the following answers most, if not all, of your
tourism-type questions.
Here are some additional details, with more to follow as the Ankara H3
Mis-Management Committee gets their shit together. I'm sure Gooly Gooly and
Dr. Ruth will have updated info later this month at EuroHash '97.
Again, the basics, as they are known now:
What: 1997 Annual Cappadocia Weekend Hash (#12)
When: Friday-Saturday-Sunday, 19-21 September 1997
Where: ***** (Five-Star) Dedeman Kapadokya Hotel in Nevsehir
For details on the Dedeman Hotel, check out:

Cost: USD $125 for the entire weekend, all-inclusive, with a goody bag, plenty
of Efes Pilsen, food, Cappadocian wine, softies, and more Efes Pilsen.
* I'd bet that not even Stray Dog would complain about *
* the quantity nor the quality of the food and drink. *

Where or what is 'Cappadocia'? you may ask. I've searched out some web pages,
and taken the liberty of copying some tourism info, just to give you an idea of
why Cappadocia is such a great place for early fall Hashing. Cappadocia takes
its name from the ancient Roman name of Goreme, a city in the region, but today
it is the general name of this geographical or geological area. The major towns
in Cappadocia are Nevsehir, Goreme, Uchisar, Urgup and Cavusin.
Nevsehir, a provincial capital, is the gateway to Cappadocia. Violent eruptions
of the volcanoes Mt. Erciyes (3916 meters) and Mt. Hasan (3268 meters) three
milion years ago covered the plateau surrounding Nevsehir with tuff, a soft
stone comprised of lava, ash and mud. The wind and rain have eroded this
brittle rock and created a spectacular surrealist landscape of rock cones,
capped pinnacles (called "fairy chimneys" by the locals) and fretted ravines,
in colors that range from warm reds and golds to cool greens and greys.
For a great picture of the area, check out:
http://ankara.ada.net.tr/argeus/cappa.htm
Cappadocia offers a one-of-a-kind landscape and terrain for Hashing. Imagine
r*nning in and around those "fairy chimneys", down ravines, up the hills, and
viewing a sunset with a rainbow of colors reflecting off the hillsides. (This
will be included - free of charge - with the world renowned Hash Circle on
Saturday.) As you can see in the pictures, the terrain is a bit rugged (just
ask Likk'mm); sturdy shoes are recommended. Unless, of course, you do like the
Scandi-Hashers and just sit around the pool and drink all weekend. (Then you
just need sunblocker!)
If you'd like more info, the current issue of the U.S. tourism magazine
"Escape" has a very interesting and enjoyable article about Cappadocia.
Some other web sites with some good pictures and info are:

Hope to see ya in September.

Subject: Cappadocia '97 Registration Info
As you may have already read/heard, Turkey will be hosting the 1999
EuroHash. For those Hashers who can't wait two more years, or may
want to check out the trail THIS year, why not come to a combination
Ankara H3 / Turkey Nash Hash this year in Cappadocia?
It's a great place to Hash, and the cost is virtually unbeatable.
Register early, and you get a fun-packed weekend of beer drinking,
one-of-a-kind Hashing, lodging in a 5-star hotel, tons of great
food, entertainment, touristic sites, and transport (except airfare
to Ankara) - all for just USD $125! There's plenty of low-cost
European flights to Turkey, so you won't have to dig deep in your
pockets to have a great late summer Hashing Weekend.
