The outer edge of the typhoon passing to the north did wind up hitting us pretty hard last night, but it was too late to impact the Hash. In fact, the overcast skies and breezy conditions during the day kept it much cooler than normal and made hiking the trail all the more pleasant. It was a Leech My Nuggets trail, so it did feature a couple of climbs but they weren’t outrageous and I managed just fine. In fact, our “sane” group, notorious for shortcutting, wound up doing the entire trail. That’s very rare for me. I was also surprised at how strong I felt while hiking–no shortness of breath or other fatigue issues. All I can attribute that to was my day off on Sunday. Perhaps I do need to give it a rest a little more often.
Here are some photos from the hike, taken from several sources:
About 6.5K all in. A nicely marked and varied trail. I liked it enough to compliment the Hare and sit on the ice with him.The first climb began with all these damn steps…And then it was trail climbing, my much-preferred mode of ascent.A stream crossing.Captain Prickhard left a little later than we did, but caught up early on.Pubic Head kept a lookout from the rear.A typical bridge crossing.Hurry up, we’re waiting!Be careful, one false step here and you’ll be in a world of hurt.No comment other than it is always nice to see the beauty of nature.Show us the way, Black And Dick Her.Still climbing.Onward and upward.This was a tricky spot. Slippery rocks and a long way to slide if you slip and fall.No shame in playing it safe.The ever-present thatch grass was another force to be reckoned with.Hello, ladies. Which way do we go?Thataway.Many Filipinos are poor, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t hard-working.Your puny fence can’t stop us!A very well-marked trail.A charcoal factory in the woods…The wide-open spaces…At The Great Wall of Barretto.What’s everybody looking at?Ah, our little town.Picture time!Dropped by to say hello to the Rolly family on the way back down. A FB friend saw this photo and told me those are her relatives. She said she used to live with them up there. I’ve always been curious about the mountain life and I’ll be sharing what I find out from her.I have no idea what might be cooking on that tabletop. Credit for creativity, not sure about the functionality.Finally back on flat ground and headed for the On-Home venue at the VFW.The Hash circle in progress.I’m glad you were able to find your way to this week’s Hash post.
And that’s the way it went down.

Never a boring moment! Good to know you seem to be doing better. Rock on!
More pictures of the girl in blue shirt please, she looks nice to spend quality time with.
QP, she lives in my basement. My part-time helper. I love that sweet ass but she has a Filipino boyfriend. I always temper my lust by reminding myself of the potential drama that would arise should I start banging the help. So far I’ve managed to resist her charms.
Well that puts a damper on things but you never know maybe BF moves on to greener pastures and she realizes her deep longing for you. Crazier things happen every day.
Well, what will be will be. I have a firm rule about messing with the help so I’d have to fire her afterward…
