The Beginning

We were pleased and Camshaft and Mmmmmm Lady Fingers volunteered to set trail on a fine February evening. They chose a location in a obscure neighbourhood of Crossroads NE, adjacent to the Deerfoot Trail and Trans Canada highway.

A neighbourhood with some history, we stated from Gally’s Neighbourhood Pub in a 1950’s strip mall. It had a special vibe to it and happy hour prices for those pre run beverages. The weather was horrible with cold and snow rolling in making highway travel difficult.

Inside, where it was warm and dry, the crowd assembled in anticipation of a fine trail and some urban exploring.

Insane Bolt called for the group to head outside to circle up in the snow.

Insane Bolt ran the circle, going through the announcement and introductions.

The hares were called in to describe the marks they had set out for the trail.

Camshaft pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off like a herd of turtles, trying to find marks through the recent blanket of snow. Out of the shopping centre and into the neighbourhood. Marks were spotted and the pack was afoot.

Some fine views of the city were found. All made more romantic with the constant buzz of the Deerfoot Trail enhanced by the airplanes that were landing continuously.

There was some art to be found. Who knew that they had this stuff hidden in this neighbourhood!

There was mention of a shot stop. We were pleased when we found this!

Off again to find the trail. Some hashers invented their own way back to find the regroup. A fine trail!

Eventually, back to the parking lot to find the awaiting vehicle with yummy refreshments!

Back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

The pack assembled in the pub and settled down to order food and beer. The Religious Advisor, Lazy Cummer worked on his material for the down down’s.

With the program complete, it was time to beg for next week’s Religious Advisor. Liquor Lots said no, then she became a maybe with help from Camshaft. I am sure she will do a great job.
