The Beginning
The Thanksgiving Holiday is a significant milestone in the calendar. Lots of turkey and family stuff going on. Setting a Thanksgiving Hash Run is getting more difficult as the group gets smaller, and those willing to host are scarce.
For this year, we decided for make the Thanksgiving Run a regular evening run and found two enthusiastic teachers with time to set trail.
Abandoned Pussy and Princess Monkey Spanker volunteered to set trail from Local 403 Eatery and Pub off Canyon Meadows Drive SE. This location is very close to Fish Creek, a harbinger of things to come!
The group arrived in the twilight as darkness for the run is now a thing. We started inside and waited patiently for the group to fill out.
We headed outside to circle up in the diminishing daylight. Needed to get the circle done and out on the trail as darkness will be a challenge for the Fish Creek experience that the hares had in store for us.
Insane Bolt was the Hashmaster of the day. He quickly went through the announcements and introductions prior to calling for the hares.
The hares described the marks they had planned for the trail!
The pack was released to find the marks of the true trail.
The Trail
Off from the parking lot, we headed toward Fish Creek Park to see if we were on trail. A cunning false trail was awaiting the fast hashers. Eventually, the true trail was discovered and the park was afoot!
Off to the dark trails of Fish Creek. Some interesting things were seen, including a wet beaver and a marked tree.
Through the dark pathways, we finally emerged out of the valley and into the neighbourhood!
Eventually, we stumbled upon the regroup after taking the pedestrian C-Train bridge over Macleod Trail.
A bit of mingling in the dark while enjoying the beverages from the regroup car.
After a discussion, it was decided to do abbreviated outside down down’s with Hardly as the Religious Advisor (RA).
The Down Down’s
Hardly made up material and we agreed that the choir would be the group! Let’s get this done so we can go inside for more beer!
The hares were acknowledged followed by other accusations. A rant of stories, truth and lies.
After all the stories were delivered, Hardly declared the group “on the piss”.
The group retired to the Local 403 for more refreshments and food. A fine trail was enjoyed by all.
