Half-Ass Hash

Half a Hash trail is better than no Hash trail. And sometimes half a trail is better than a whole trail. That was the case for me yesterday. Some of us retreated from the first big climb and took an alternative route. Still had to do an up, but this one was not so steep or long. Our “sane” path came in at 6K of the original 10K slog the Hare, Almoranus, had laid out for us.

Yesterday’s Hash trail. The green is the “sane” group’s shortcut.
Gathering up at the VFW
And we are On-On!
The trail went up, but we turned left.
Off the road and onto a sidewalk
I crossed that bridge when I came to it.
Our climb begins
Up and up we go!
You got this, Pubic Head.
Resting up top
A bay view from on high
A cookie delivery for my mountain friend Oliva and her family.
Hello again, my friend.
Life in the ‘burbs.
The thatch grass was as big a pain in the ass as ever.
Heading back down.
In through the backdoor to Alta Vista
Making our way to Baloy Beach…
…and the On-Home at Vikings Resort
End of the hike refreshments, a fine Hash tradition.
Hanging out, waiting for the circle to commence
A cadre of lovely Harrietts.

It was good to be back on the Hash trail again. That makes one in a row! Next week we are doing an outstation run at Pundaquit in San Antonio. Looking forward to that one.

  1. Well, if the shorter route saves you a broken leg, then there you go. Is Almoranus as bad as Guenter when it comes to Haring?

    The truncated route might not have been the original one, but it looks to have been nice. Friendly mountain folk, at least one hill to get you breathing… what more could a man ask for?

    I guess the post-hike refreshments didn’t include actual food. If they had, I’d have liked to see the pictures. But I’m guessing it was just beer and water, and/or some soda or fruit juice.

  2. No, Guenter is in a league of his own when it comes to challenging trails.

    Well, the On-Home venues serve food, and we just order off the menu whatever we want. I bought a pizza and shared it with some fellow Hashers. And you are correct; the ice chests contain beer, water, and sodas.
