Close enough to perfect…

…for me anyway. No rain to mar our efforts at laying a trail for yesterday’s Hash, and no rain during the Hash either. The feedback from the Harriers who participated was very positive. The trail was in an area we hadn’t Hashed in awhile and folks appreciated the variety. We had a couple of hills to climb but nothing outrageous. And there was some variety as well, incorporating both countryside and street side.

Here’s how the trail looked from God’s perspective. I’m actually pretty proud of this one. Too me it was the right mix–challenging but not outrageous. 6.5K all in.

One guy rolled his ankle on that tire staircase, but I don’t think you can blame the trail for that, could have happened getting out of bed too. There were two points where some folks lost the trail and had to backtrack. In the first instance it seems the locals intentionally erased the trail markings. No idea why someone would be so petty as to do that, but what can you do? The second place was near the end and I’ll cop to inadequate marking. I just assumed people would discern the true trail getting back to our on-home at Treasure Island. Lesson learned!

Here I am giving last minute instructions to the pack before they hit they trail.
And they are off! Or On-On as it were.
My partner in crime and co-Hare, Pubic Head.
Yours truly doing what Hare’s do…
Working the trail…
Seeing this dog on a hot tin roof got me thinking. Maybe I should write a play?
Heading back down…
Are you sure this is right? We are the Hares, of course it’s right. Who’s gonna say otherwise?
No rain, but it was still wet in places…
Encouragement from the natives? I think they were saying our trail is #1…
Back on-home and as is the tradition, the Hares sit on the ice while the kennel gives feedback on the trail. Anyone who professes to have enjoyed the trail joins them there. We filled up that ice!

It was a good day and the best trail ever! So say I and so it must be!


Sometimes the morning coffee’s way too strong.
And Sometimes what she says she says all wrong.
Right or Wrong, she’s there beside me,
Like only a friend would be!
And that’s close enough to perfect for me.

Now, She’s been known to wear her pants too tight.
And drinkin’ puts her out just like a light.
Heaven knows she’s not an angel,
But she’d really like to be.
And that’s close enough to perfect for me.

Mountain music!
