Today is once again Hash Monday. I’m not going to do the trail though. Not even going to try. I have my reasons.
Strike One–It’s a long-ass ride to Olongapo in the uncomfortable and unsafe Hashmobile. Alternatively, you can take a Jeepney, but that involves a transfer to a different Jeep in Olongapo. Too much of a pain in the ass for me.Strike two–Vienna Sausage (Guenter) is the Hare. His trails are not conducive to my continued good health. I’m not being critical, the Hare has the discretion to make the Hash trail as difficult or as easy as he chooses. Just as I have the right to decline to participate in a Hash that puts me in danger. I’ve not totally boycotted Vienna’s trails–I’ll generally do the sane parts and shortcut the rest. The start in Olongapo makes shortcutting more difficult because it is unfamiliar territory.Strike three–Vienna posted this picture of the scouting expedition for the trail. Climbing that hill is not in my future.
Three strikes and I’m out. I’ll be doing my own hike this afternoon and will attend the On-Home activities afterward at Queen Victoria.
Not sure where I’ll hike today, but yesterday I took a Jeepney to Subic town and did a 9K walk back home from there.
I must be feeling my age. That’s only 4.5 kilometers per hour on mostly flat ground. I did take a few pics along the way, but still, that’s slow.

A Subic street scene.The name of this place had an oddly familiar ring to it in a not quite right kinda way…A road……a river……and a mountain.
I’ll probably go in the opposite direction today and see what there is to see.
A hard truth about dating, although I guess it cuts both ways.
Of course, the woman currently professing her love for me is NOT single. Should I change my luck?
Well, damn. So much for that idea.
I’m sure there will be new and better adventures to come. Or should I say train wrecks?

So will you do doing that 9K route with your “sane” group of Hashers?
Whoops– BE doing. I blame AutoCorrect.
Nope, the sane group took the ride out to Olongapo and climbed the first part of the Hare’s trail. Two of the gals came along with me for a 10K trek that took us up Kalaklan ridge and back.

I look forward to the photos.
