The Beginning

What a privilege it is to set the last trail of the year! What a great way to celebrate the opening of a new craft brewery! The Good Cheer Brewing enabled us to sample some new beer for the tail end of the old year!

The Good Cheer Brewing occupies the space formerly used by the Evil Corporation Brewing Company, which was known to the hashers. The new owners have reinvented the space with a 1600’s theme “order of good cheer” . Think Samuel de Champlain and his pals in Quebec and you are on the right track.

We look forward to their south facing patio as the weather gets warmer.

Inside, those that were there early were treated to a brewery tour by the owner Nathan. The balance of the pack wandered in an looked over the goodies they had on offer to be enjoyed after the run.

Camshaft called the group outside to form a circle. Bright parking lot lights created some photographic challenges.

The weather was good as a chinook had blow in. Above freezing temperatures made for slippy and sloppy underfoot.

Missing a couple of pictures, including Tighty Whitey and Mmmmm Lady Fingers and Slippy Thong.

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the run.

With the trail described, the park was released to find the true trail.

The Trail

Off out of the parking lot in all directions. False trails galore were discovered and eventually the true trail marks were found.

Through the alleys, streets and sidewalks we continued on trying to find the illusive marks. The hare was helpful in keeping us going in the right direction.

Those that chose the eagle trail were off to the cemetery and Reader Rock Garden to catch some city views.

Daisy shows the way. Yes, these are the steps you must climb

Back to the brewery to get set up for the down down’s

The Down Down’s

Mr. PeeeeNut volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He diligently prepared his program and the beers were organized.

Mr. PeeeeeNut started off with the hares and proceeded to reword and punish those selected.

The down down’s now complete, the pack was declared “on the piss”. The group settled down to enjoy the balance of the evening.

Trail Summary

Given the excellent marks to be found, and the complication of an eagle/turkey split, the run distance was variable depending of your experience. Some say it was close to 7 km in distance, but your actual distance may vary. A fine trail through the wilds of Ramsay SE was enjoyed by the pack.
