This week my two co-Hares and I laid the trail for the one thousand four hundred and fifty-seventh running of the Subic Bay Hash House Harriers. Our original plan for a wet weather trail included passing through the checkpoint into Subic. With the new COVID restrictions, we decided not to risk it. We still had to wind up in Subic since that is where our On-Home venue is located. So, we went a roundabout backway, including a visit to the My Bitch trail. It was good to be off the roads some of the time for a change. The trail came in a little over 7K from the start at VFW to the finish at Smokes and Bottles. Here are how things looked along the way:
The tools of the Hare trade. Powder and Paper. Not shown: ChalkToday’s Hares: Blow My Pipe, Pubic Head, and Cum Together.We used chalk on poles and trees with arrows pointing the way.We also have symbols such as this one which indicates a left turn (you turn in the direction of the short line).When you see powder on the ground you know you are On-On!The same with shredded paper. We use it because it is more resistant to being washed away by rain and is also more visible in certain types of terrain.Hares in motion.We were blessed with a practically rain-free morning. Hopefully, that will continue through this afternoon.We jumped this creek and completed a rare for rainy season dry foot trail.A toilet with a view.You definitely have to watch your step on trail…one false step here and you’ll find yourself in a world of hurt.That’s about an eight-foot drop.We had actually hiked this portion of My Bitch on our Friday group walk.The mountain mama, Olivia, with her freshly picked vegetables. And some cookies!The thatch grass is already getting out of control and it is not even peak season yet.Good work, Blow My Pipe.Back in the city and headed On-Home…The trail ends here. Hare’s drink for free!
Not a bad way to spend a Monday, eh?

Looks to be a good trail for the Hashers. May complaints be minimal.
Hope that the has went well.
Who picks the “on home”? Is it the hares, or does the location rotate and you make the trail fit the end?
Brian, yes, the On-Home rotates on a schedule, so the Hare has to develop a trail that leads to that location. I believe some Hare’s volunteer on the weeks that the On-Home matches their trail preferences. I personally don’t care.
