The good news is that the feedback from yesterday’s Hash participants was almost all positive. And after this post, y’all will get a year of not having read about my exploits on the mountain. How’s that for a win-win situation?
The Hashers gathered at the usual meet-up venue, the VFW, and rode rented Jeepneys to the start of the trail. I walked the 2K from my house and met them there. Once the group had started the hike, I walked back to the On-Home venue and awaited their arrival. I was surprised that a couple of the runners were back in just over an hour. Everyone else trickled back in over the next couple of hours, and no one got lost or injured, so I’ll call that a successfully completed mission as a Hare.
The trail we laid.Loading up the JeepsThe trail begins at the end of this road.While waiting for the Jeepneys to arrive, these two–Anal Receptive and Leech My Nuggets came strolling up on foot. They both live in Alta Vista and decided to hike to the start like me.Arrival at the startEverybody outBlow My Pipe gives the guidanceAnd off they go into the wild blue yonderUp, up, and away!Making it look easyAlmost to the topMountain viewsCumslinger is an Easter Mountain virgin no more.

Glad things turned out as well as they did. Also glad I won’t be climbing Easter Mountain again until next year. On-On!
A commenter asked for a better view of the cornbread and carrot cake I baked for Easter. Here you go, Kevin! Full of carbs and calories!
That’s all for today.

Great hike, great food (thanks for the cross sections).
When you guys have to sit on the ice, how many minutes do you have to remain there? And with almost everybody giving you a positive review for the trail, does that mean almost everyone had to spend time on the ice?
I’m surprised the golden liked the ice block enough to lie on it. That’s normally something a Husky would do.
Painted on that mountain rock—are those the names of people? Anyone you know?
Looks like a great hike, and considering the number of participants, the lack of negative comments should make you feel good.
On a completely different note, I thought that maybe you and @Kevin would be interesting in this.
“South Korea has announced that it will be building the world’s largest hubless Ferris wheel (180 m/590 ft in diameter). The futuristic structure is called Seoul Ring, and it’s set to go up in Haneul Park.
Interesting. Maybe it’s just me, but that Ferris wheel has a Morder-like vibe about it. Hmm, I guess the could call it the ring of power.
You are usually only on the ice for five minutes or less–just long enough to hear the “charge” and have a Hash song sung to you. Most of the legitimate feedback on the trail comes directly from the individual participants. During the circle, Hashers tend to give a bullshit response to avoid joining the Hare on ice. So, even if I like a trail, I’ll say something like “too flat” or “too short” when called upon. Even so, I’d say we had a dozen folks joining us on the ice Monday (we had two blocks of ice to accommodate the large turnout).
First time I’d seen that dog at the Hash, and I was surprised too when he wanted to chill out on the ice.
Those painted names are just graffiti from previous visitors, I didn’t recognize any of the names, and I hope Hashers and foreigners would be more respectful of the landscape than to deface it that way.
