Turkey Getting Hot!

The Beginning

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for many things. Some of these include: Special beer for the hash from Village brewing, someone who volunteers to host the hash on Thanksgiving day, Hashers that help with the turkey and pot luck goodies, and lastly the weather.

Recollections of winter conditions at Thanksgiving are not uncommon. To have a 22C sunny day on Thanksgiving is unusual. Perhaps global warming is not such a bad thing here!

Stool Stuffer and Rashy Bush hosted the run and the feast from their new Fairview mansion. The million dollar views of downtown and the Rockies were a fine setting for the run and feast. A reasonable turn out of 23 intrepid soles, including visitors, made for a good group.

The pack assembled in the Stoolie/Rashy back yard and the keg was tapped prior to the run. Turkey cooking in the smoker smelled delicious. The preliminaries were interrupted by the call for the circle.

The circle formed on the front lawn much to the amusement of the neighbours. PMS made things happen.

The circle proceeded with announcements and the usual procedures. Visitor from Norway, Buzz Light Year confirmed that we attract international attention! Stool Stuffer took a break from his Turkey smoking duties to tell us about the trail and what marks to look for.

The Trail

The first mark was a check. Off went the pack to follow the marks that lead deep into the inner reaches of Fairview.

Eventually to runners made it to the park to play. Walkers played as well!

Thankfully Playground 3 was close to the regroup. Here, the pack sorted out their chairs and found suitable refreshment.

Regroup and rehydration. Down Down’s then food!

The Down Down’s

Hardly did the Religious Advisor role. Beverages were carefully poured and a choir was selected.

Choir – Abandoned Pussy (AP), Hot Cheeks, and Frogadile Hunter

The down down’s were delivered with skill and finesse. There were a large number of hash shits at the run that need to be dispensed with. No shortage of material!

With down down’s complete, it was time to be “on the piss”, or in the case “on the food”. As the scribe was overcome with joy that the down down’s were now done and he could enjoy the rest of the day. Not a lot of food shots were taken. Here is a proxy of the wonderful feast we were thankful for!

Trail Summary

As Scoobie neglected to fire up his distance device, nothing to report here. Some say it was encroaching on 5 km. If a summary appears from others, I will report it here!
