We did the Hash On-Home way out at the end of Rizal Extension. Almoranus has a lot up there, so we had a bit of an end-of-hike campout. Since I wasn’t sure what the food situation would be, I decided to chow down at Sit-n-Bull before we started the hike.
The Salisbury steak was on the specials menu…came with two sides. Of course, I went with beans and coleslaw...And then it was time to Hash. Our “sane” group shortcutted the first 2K or so by riding the truck out to the valley. Then we did a pleasant enough walk on that flat and rarely dry ground, before beginning a moderately difficult climb up to the ridgeline. It was hot out which didn’t make life any easier.Off we go!Easy peasy so far.The lowdown. Most of the rice fields were dry, thankfully.Girls on trail.Heading towards Easter mountain. Turned off before we got there though.We took no off fence.Not my kind of hangout, but at least it was shady.Hup, two, three, four!Leaving the flatness behind.What an ass! Rumored to be 18 Kilos…For the most part, it was a well-marked trail.The first runner to overtake us head-starting, shortcutting, sane Hashers was Leech My Nuggetts. As usual.The only water hazard we encountered.On up!A house in the wild. The kids here were too shy to accept my cookie offer. I guess they don’t see many white folks in these parts.It wasn’t a steep up, just a meandering continuous climb.More runners passing us slowsters by. It was a woodsy trail for the most part which was a relief on a hot and sunny day.The end is near for this weary Hasher.Our campsite, courtesy of Almoranus (in the white pants).Chillin’ out in the shade.Grillin’ up some dogs.My weekend guest, Sweet Hash Hole, hanging out with Black And Dick Her.It ain’t camping without a fire, right?Returning Hashers on the ice. It had been twenty years or so for Sweet Hash Hole.I didn’t eat at the Hash, but did enjoy a nice bowl of chili when I returned home.
And that was pretty much how my Hash Monday went down. Said goodbye to my weekend guest this morning. More thoughts on that in tomorrow’s post. Got darts on tap for tonight.

“Almoranus has a lot up there”
At first, I was like, “A lot of what?” Then I realized you were talking about a parcel of land. Ah-ha…
Yeah, that was indeed poorly worded and I can see it being taken to a place I never intended. At least I should have said “vacant lot”. His long-range plans are to build a house there.
I forgot what 18 kilos name is, but he seems to be losing weight.
His name is Martin, and yes, he is indeed losing weight with his new healthier lifestyle…
