A good Hash yesterday. Almost pleasant, in fact. The Hare, Leech My Nuggets, is known for his difficult trails, but this was easy enough to seem almost out of character for him. Sure, it had several hill climbs, but nothing long, steep, and hard. Of course, our “sane” group did some modifications, including eliminating one of the bigger climbs. But despite being notorious short cutters, we actually added distance to the Hare’s route by walking the 2K from Alta Vista to the trailhead.
Lots of photos to share. I’m even featured in quite a few of them as the other Hashers did a lot of the photography. So, let’s get to it:
The green line shows our modifications to the Hare’s original trail. We did longer but flatter.Heading out from Alta Vista.The official starting point for run #1470 of the SBH3. The “sane” Hashers (L-R) Cum Together, Captain Prickhard, Cum In My Basement, Black And Dick Her, and Tinkerbell.Pubic Head took the photo.Let’s do this bitch!Climbing Black Rock is in our near future.That really gets my goat!A smaller climb before we get to Black Rock.Cookies for kiddies.Things are looking up.What goes up must come down…Right, Pubic Head?Made it!Reading Hash Trail Marks 101: A short line next to a long line indicates which direction to turn. In this case, left. The number indicates the Hash week–sometimes trails overlap from week to week. We’ve had folks follow the old trail on occasion. Leech My Nuggets is probably the best Hare I’ve seen for clearly marking his trails…Time for the big climb of the day to Black Rock.Almost there.The summit is achieved.What a beauty!Keeping things in perspective.Nice to see you again, Easter Mountain.No, I’m not tired. Why do you ask?Take a deep breath, Pubic Head…Comin’ down the mountain.Well, the chalk is pointing in this direction… (it wasn’t)If you can’t walk on water or fly, you’re gonna get your shoes wet sometimes…The other end of Black Rock…we avoided this climb.And climbed this instead.Almost done.Excuse us, just passing through…Folks we encountered were so friendly. A harsh life doesn’t mean you can’t be happy.The final down……before arriving at our On Home venue of Smoke and Bottles.I really enjoy this open-air atmosphere here.Circle Up!Leaking Willy celebrates his 69th run with the Subic Bay Hash. His gal, Dripping Pussy, is there to assist.
And so concluded another Hash Monday. It’s good to be alive!

Really felt those ups and downs in this set of photos. How do you make different-colored routes on that map at the beginning?
John,
It’s amazing how much walking you do and it looks fun too.

Kev, I am clueless when it comes to Google Earth. Scott does the maps and he’s the master. Maybe he’ll chime in here. I know he’s got every trail known to the Hash on a map–one map has them all!
Chip, glad you are enjoying. Thanks for coming along!
