I’ve never been there, so I can’t attest that it was hotter than hell on yesterday’s Hash. Hot enough for a governmental heat warning to be issued, not that that stopped us. Apparently, it was 95 degrees. and the heat index made it feel like 107. Yeah, it’s been hot lately, but I do most of my walking in the mornings. The Hash starts at 2:00 which apparently is the peak time of the day for hotness. When I hit the 3K mark it felt like I had been nearly drained of energy, and every step I took was harder than the last. For the first time in my Hash career, I actually stopped at a sari-sari store for some Gatorade.
No complaints about the actual trail, or the portion I did anyway. I took a shortcut that eliminated a climb and a little distance. Mother Nature just whupped my ass. Here are some photos from the day:
We are On-On!Hello there, Praying Mantis. There’s an old joke about the only thing better than long legs wrapped around your back is short legs trying. I can picture this gal saying “wanna bet?”I guess this doesn’t qualify as a climb, but it is uphill. I’ve used this sidewalk numerous times and it’s tougher than it looks going up.We’ve only just begun…Ah, the familiar streets of Alta Vista.That’s me walking away from my house. Back to the future!Steep and slippery, a dicey combination.Easy for your skinny little ass to march across that rickety bridge.This bridge is much more to my liking…Trying to avoid the sun. Good luck with that!I really dislike jumping down this wall…Fuck Buddy is much more graceful at it than I am.Once rainy season arrives walking across this field will be less pleasant.Stopping at the sari-sari store for some refreshments about half way through the trail.And a much needed rest break.Back at it.My favorite view on the day…At least these seemingly endless steps were going down…Don’t drink the water!On-Home was at Hunter Jo’s Inn. Definitely the Hash venue with the best views.And cute waitresses too! After a few beers, I got the courage up to ask the one on the right if she had a boyfriend. She immediately and enthusiastically answered “Yes!”Pubic Head doing what he does best…We deflowered three Hash virgins.Fucking Cupcake putting his time on ice to good use chatting up one of the virgins…And the sun finally ended its torment of the hapless Hashers.And that’s all for this lovely Hash post.
I’ll be back with more tomorrow, now I’m off to see the dentist.

That climb you mentioned does look bad. Can’t imagine doing that on a sweltering hot day.
