Pyro Saves the Day!

The Beginning

Canada Day is meant to be celebrated! We are pleased that Pyro stepped up to set trail on this day. With Canada Day falling on a Tuesday this year, that meant it was following the epic Monday night trail set by Daisy Duke.

The start location was set at in Tuscany NW at the Twelve Mile Coulee Natural Area parking lot, also known near a fancy condo complex known as Villa D’Este known by Google.

It was a hot day with an afternoon start. Being ready for the heat is a challenge for cold weather folks. The pack arrived and prepared for the the trail to begin.

Insane Bolt called the circle to order and went through the formalities for this small but enthusiastic group.

The marks were described by Pyro and the pack was released.

The Trail

The Tuscany area has spectacular views of Canada Olympic Park and the Rockies to the west. The ravine can be steep and deep in some places creating some adventure on the pathways.

Pyro surprised us with some urban exploring. Why not have the pack get lost in these twisty neighbourhoods! Please obey all traffic signals.

Eventually the pack made it safely back to the starting point. Cooling refreshments made the effort worthwhile.

Down Down’s

The chairs appeared and the pack prepared for outdoor down down’s delivered by Hardly, the Religious Advisor for the run. Sun protection was a good idea for those that did not want to be consumed by the solar radiation.

The down down’s went very well and met the needs of the smaller group. Hardly declared the group “on the piss” and it was time to relish in the Canada Day vibe,

Happy Canada Day

Trail Summary

A fine trail in the 5 km range. Great terrain with sufficient up and down to make the beer at the end taste even better.

Hash Extra

Good thing you were not here facing the Canada Day beach crowds at Grand Beach Manitoba.
