I had the pleasant experience of receiving my first massage under the hands of Judy, the gal I a couple of weeks ago. She rode her scooter to my place this afternoon, although she wasn’t able to follow the simple directions I provided and got turned around here in the subdivision. Oh well. She’s not a great conversationalist either, but let’s just say she has other talents that left me completely satisfied. When she departed she told me she was heading to the store to buy food for her kids, so I guess it worked out well for both of us. I’m sure I’ll be inclined to help her out again in the future.
Money well spent for both of us.
I got up and off of another mountain during yesterday’s Hash. It didn’t compare with today’s adventure, but it was still quite pleasant. I had gotten a preview of the trail on Wednesday’s hike, which is a good thing because the earlier rain had obliterated many of the powder markings making parts of the intended path hard to follow.
Here to powder is still visible; that wasn’t the case in other parts, especially the beginning.
With the advantage of foresight, I also made the decision to shortcut one of the downs and ups. I figured the mud in both directions would take the fun out of that part of the hike. Otherwise, it was not a bad trail at all, coming in at right under 6K, just the way I like it!
Too bad we couldn’t follow the trail the way Google Earth saw it…Our “sane” group seems to be getting larger and larger each week. Actually though, quite a few of them didn’t take our shortcut. That’s pretty natural though–on trail it is up to each Hasher to decide what they are going to do.We are On-On!Coming down into Alta Vista at the start of the hike.Then headed for the hills.It doesn’t appear that Buddy Fucker even broke stride getting over that fallen tree…The first climb begins…Looks like the hill slowed Buddy Fucker down some…A view from the top…Onward Hashers!Definitely more fun going over an obstacle than under one.This isn’t so bad, right?Hello again, cutie!Rest stop.I guess technically it has everything you need…except electricity, internet, flushing toilets…For you Easter mountain fans…Splendor in the grass…“Y’all coming, or what?” I’m waiting to see why that chicken is crossing the path!Valley view…On-Home was at the VFW and we did the circle outside for the first time. Still crowded, but at least no one fell into that nasty swimming pool.Bye-bye virgins…None of them did very well with the “down-down” either. What doesn’t go in you, goes on you!
And so ended the one thousand four hundred and fifty-second running of the Subic Bay Hash.
I hope this post wasn’t too long!

Some of those hills look long, and some of that dirt looks dangerous to walk on. Great pics as always.
