I don’t recall the last time I drank the traditional morning alcoholic beverage known as a Bloody Mary. Not my favorite blend of flavors, but it was offered for free prior to starting our Sunday morning Hash trail. I only had the one because I prefer keeping my walkoholism separate from my alcoholism. The hike commenced at the Blue Cat and was short and flat.
I reckon this would be one of my hangouts if I lived in BauangArt on the wallThe view out the backHashers gathered for the final day of the Nash HashAs seen from my tableMy fellow Subic HashersAn we are On-On for the third and final day of HashingA brief jaunt on the highwayA tree I like along the wayI have to hand it to the Hare for a unique method of marking the trailA pleasant beach strollAnd for once, I wasn’t bringing up the rearThere was something a little ghostly about this placeSunny beachesI think I would enjoy living in La Union, especially if I had a house like this one on the beachLeaving the sand behindA rickety bridge we DIDN’T crossThe rare signage telling folks not to throw trash in the creekCreekside walkingI’ve seen dirtier waterAnother shady carabaoSome time amongst the peanuts, but no sign of Lucy or Charlie BrownThrough the fields we goNearing the end of our trekOur On-Home was at this nice resort a few kilometers out of townThe route of our very pleasant 4K journeyEnjoying some post-hike beverages with Cums AloneAnd a free buffet lunch for all the HashersI managed to overcome my temptation to ride the slideWell, the spelling ain’t rightAfter the closing ceremony at the Hash, we loaded into Jeepneys for the ride back into town
Want to spend a minute riding along?
But the after-Hash fun was just beginning. We were invited to join our Hash host, Booked Up, for some pizza and liquid refreshments at his house.
Thanks for having us!
And then, it was back to the Go Resort for our final night in La Union.
You knew this was going to happen, right?Back home it’s the sun behind the mountainsSo an ocean sunset is a rare treatNicely done!Hanging out with some other Hashers staying at the Go ResortSome tasty sweet and sour pork for dinnerI was just talkin’ to the moon
And then it was back to the room for me. Before I went to bed, I posted my usual bullshit on Facebook.
Like this, which is funny whatever your politics. At least I think so.
But there is more to life than politics, so I also posted this:
I thought it was funny
But Facebook didn’t. I woke up this morning to this:
Did you see any nudity or sexual activity in that photo above? Neither did I.I filed an appeal and requested a review
Lo and behold, I just got this message:
Photo back up……and account restrictions removed. Geez.
Anyhoo, I am safely back home in my humble abode here in Barretto. It was a great four days in La Union!
The YouTube video for today talks about the pitfalls of helping out so-called “friends.” I guess I’ve been lucky in that regard, at least so far. I have a few hundred dollar bills that are the old style, and none of the exchange places will accept them. I don’t have any reason to believe they might be counterfeit (I got them from a US bank the last time I was there), but I’ll just hold onto them for now.
The funny stuff:
He’s noun the wiser!Turn it on, turn it up, turn me looseSounds like tit-for-tat
No Hash for me today, but it’s a Vienna Sausage trail, so I’m not missing much. I’ll still visit It Doesn’t Matter this evening to see my fellow Subic Hashers again. I’ll get back to “normal” tomorrow!

Art on the wall
Why would they paint the cat to look as if it got caught picking its nose?
As seen from my table
Chiaroscuro! Nice.
A tree I like along the way
Looks to be a very nervous tree. Maybe it’s been hiding immigrants.
I have to hand it to the Hare for a unique method of marking the trail
There was something a little ghostly about this place
That place screams, “Paintball battle!”
The rare signage telling folks not to throw trash in the creek
Google Translate says, “Do not throw anything on the creek! This will cause pollution and stop the flow of water.” I saw no Tagalog on the language menu, but there was a selection for “Filipino.”
I’ve seen dirtier water
I’d love to test my Grayl filter on that. Grayl has a nanofilter meant to strain out even parasites. To be honest, though, I’d probably strain the water through a double layer of tee-shirt fabric first, just to make things easier on the Grayl.
I managed to overcome my temptation to ride the slide
Why not slide? Worried about diarrhea on the way down? If you’re forceful enough and aim carefully, you can make the diarrhea precede you, thus greasing your way down the slide. Fun times.
I thought it was funny
Was his name Lik Bik Dik?
…and account restrictions removed. Geez.
Do not trust Zuckerberg. He is not for real.
Sounds like tit-for-tat
Interesting how they start off across from each other, then end up catty-cornered. Guess he wanted a better angle.
Overall, La Union seemed like a good change of pace. More traveling to come, I hope.
