Yesterday’s Hash was like a stroll down memory lane. I had participated in scouting the trail during the Wednesday and Friday group hikes last week, so there was nothing new for me to see. Of course, I knew what I DIDN’T want to see again and avoided those sections, including the big hill climb to the jungle. I still wound up with a pleasant 4K+ trek and lots of cold beers at the One Three Resort when I was finished. Wanna see the pictures? Okay, here goes:
Instructions from the Hare. I’m setting up my Map My Walk app.Off we go through the backstreets of Subic town.Multiple bridge crossingsOver the riverAuditioning for a role in The Walking DeadAnother bridgeStreet walkersThat waterside berm was narrow and treacherous in places. As far as I know, no one fell in, though.Walk this wayI could hear the creaking when I crossed, but it didn’t breakSee you on the other side!Blow My Pipe is heading for the hillsDecision time at the junction–left to go up and over, straight for a mostly flat walk in town. Easy choice for me.Besides I had cookies to deliverSixty pesos to put a smile on a face is a bargain!Grounded at the abandoned M&M Resort.Passing through the neighborhoodThe last bridge of the dayGetting trashedHeading On-HomeNearing the end of the trailThe beer was cold and wet, just the way I like it!A bay view at One Three ResortCircle up!It’s nice on ice!Four Hash birthdays celebrated yesterday. That’s our Grandmaster, Demolition Derby.Blow My PipeI don’t remember her name.And Pubic HeadInto the bay to wash off all that cake!Something’s going down with these girls.And so ends another Hash.
Getting back to Barretto from Calapadayan after dark (and after a few beers) can be a bit of an adventure. Two Jeepneys passed me by, already overflowing with passengers. Then a trike pulled up, and I asked how much to Barretto. I was shocked when he said seventy pesos. I told him, “I’ll give you a hundred!” He dropped me at It Doesn’t Matter for the after-Hash gathering.
I ordered some food for take-out from Myleen’s and was pleasantly surprised to see they had pumpkin pie on the menu. How could I say no? I went to sleep with a full belly last night.
It’s pun time:
Hits you from behind!I’d give her a pearl necklace instead!
That’s it for today folks.

I think you’re becoming a master of sunset shots.
Happy Birthday to Scott! He’s been a recurrent character on your blog since forever. His ankle is still holding up, I gather?
Sad to see that photo with all the trash. I wonder what the secret is to motivate people to pick up after themselves. As with most things, I imagine it’s money: invent a Mr. Fusion device that converts matter directly into energy, then pay people for feeding the machine their trash. I bet you’d see dirty places and clogged rivers get cleared up in the blink of an eye.

Another Stephen King horror story waiting to happen.
Sixty pesos to put a smile on a face is a bargain!
She’s a little cutie. Please don’t grow up to become an impoverished, uneducated mother of four working in a damn bar.
As always, a great walk with a good variety of sights and terrain.
Damn, I wrote a lengthy response to your comment and somehow managed to delete it. I hate when that happens!
Anyway, Scott’s doing fine. Hiking and golfing and living an active life. We are both dealing with some “old folks” issues that slow us down, but we keep on keeping on.
Yeah, it will take some type of motivation to change the litter culture here. Those trash dumps like the one pictured are frequent sights out in the rural areas. No trash collection service is available, you’re miles from town; what are you going to do? Some folks burn their trash piles, but that’s not good for the environment either.
Glad you like the sunset photos…I enjoy taking them!
