Shoe Wash in Fish Creek

The Beginning

As we are now past labour day, who knows what the weather will be like. It could be summer or winter, sunny or raining, but the darkness is starting to appear near the end of the run.

Headlights start to become a thing at this time of year, so remember that. Hot Cheeks decided it time to introduce Swollen Member to the art of haring a run. These are skills that he can use in all aspects of his happy life.

After a bit of adjusting the start location, Local 403 Pub in Canyon Meadows SW was selected as the start location. Access to Fish Creek was important for the success of this run.

The group arrived at the pub and prepared for the fine trail that had been planned for them to follow.

It was time to head out to the parking lot circle up. A good turnout of over 20 hashers was encouraging to see.

The pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

Leaving the parking lot, the pack spread out to find the marks for true trail. A few false trails were explored prior to finding the good marks. Apparently, some of the marks were a little thin from the recent rain, making finding the trail a bit more challenging.

After enjoying the refreshments and the munchies, the pack headed into the pub to prepare for the down down’s, and some sort of spinning wheel distraction.

The group settled into the pub and figured out that they could get a fantastic deal on a hamburger, with a full pint beer, and the opportunity to spin the wheel, and delay the start of the down downs.

Down Down’s

Eventually, the thrill of the spinning wheel was over. The patient Religious Advisor, Skewbic Hair, now had the attention of the group.

A choir of Tighty Whitey and Scissor Sister was chosen and the program began.

Tighty Whitey had to excuse himself from choir duties and Hardly was pressed into emergency choir service.

Hardly saves the choir day!
No volunteer RA for next week, so let’s down the RA and declare “on the piss”

With the down downs complete, the group was declared to be “on the piss”.
