A pretty laid-back Hash trail yesterday, with one moderate climb and a mellow down. That suits me just fine. I started the trail ahead of the pack and left the Hash circle before it was over. Ah, the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want is definitely underrated.
The trail started at the VFW, then up into the hills on the My Bitch path, down into Marian Hills, back through Alta Vista, then out to Baloy Beach for the On-Home at Da’Kudos.The Harriers gather for instructions from the HareOn-On!The climb beginsSteppin’ it upIt got a bit steep in places, but not for longOnce up top, it was almost like a stroll in the parkA Barretto viewAnd another from on highTree huggerThe Easter Mountain shotFolks doing some work in the wildernessIt was a well-marked and easy-to-follow trailIt was hot in the sunshine yesterdayThat’s Alta Vista off in the distanceGoing downThe long and the short of it.

But I also tend to be not all that sociable, so who am I to judge? The floating bar was enticing me,and before the circle ended, I had made my escape.Three birthday girls getting the cake treatmentSunset on the beachSunset on the waterThe floater wasn’t too busy yesterdayThe Hash circle, as seen from my new and improved vantage point
After a few beers on board, I walked up the beach to McCoy’s for my nightcap. I even sang a couple of videoke songs. All in all, a pretty fine day.
I’ll be back on Baloy this afternoon for my first date with Darlene, the gal I “met” on Date In Asia. Looking forward to seeing her in person. When I was telling her about the Hash, she must have done a Google search because she sent me some pictures of me at the Hash. And they were from my blog! It’s a little scary to think she may be reading my diary, but since she hasn’t backed out of the date, maybe I haven’t scared her away. Yet.
I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Nice pics of the hike, and good luck with Darlene.
“Hares on ice.” Never did like using the word “gash.” Yeah I still here, read every day.
Hey, there, Rascal. I’ve been worried about you. Glad you are doing okay!
