The Beginning

You know you will have an entertaining trail with Abandoned Pussy as the Hare. She knows the intricacies of the pathway network in Fish Creek and knows what hashers like.

Voltier’s Flats at the foot of Elbow Drive was the starting location. In addition they have picnic areas suitable for the down down cerimonies.

The group arrived to find parking and prepare for the run. The weather was good and we had some out of town visitors.

Apparently the scribe and Religious Advisor were late to the circle, so he had to rely on the kindness of others for the photos of the opening circle.

Someone went through the introductions and announcements prior to calling the hare into the circle.

AP was called into the circle and explained the marks to the pack. With all explained, the pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

The pack followed marks up hill to the neighbourhood of Canyon Meadows. Obviously, some uphill elevation gain to enjoy the pathways that await at the top of the hill.

The pack found the regroup vehicle and decided, much to chagrin of the hare, that down down’s would not be at the picnic tables, but rather in the parking lot. Apparently the exertion of moving the cooler was overwhelming for some.

The group sorted out their chairs and beverages, and relaxed in anticipation of the start of the down down’s.

Why are we waiting? Apparently a couple of Harriettes were missing. Choosing to avoid the creek crossing, a long and convoluted route back to the start was required. So both Boob Check and Ure-in-Trouble were DFL, causing a delay in the starting of the down down’s.

With the group assembled, it was time for the down down’s to commence.

Down Down’s

Skewbic Hair was the Religious Advisor for the evening. Arriving late to the circle, he ad to catch up to the pack and rely on other for some tales.

With the beverages prepared by the beer meister, time to get this show on the road.

Firstly, a choir was selected. Sticky Lips and Shakesbeer were delighted to be selected and sang themselves a song.

Our antics attracted the interest of some unsuspecting mountain biking people. Have a beer and consider joining the group!

Then we had to controversial shunning of the down down location that the hare was expecting. A Hat Shit transfer opportunity from King Shit to On In.

Now, time to find an RA for next week. With some level of cajoling, Lazy Cummer is up to the task. As such, it was time to down down the RA and next weeks RA.

With all done, the pack was declared “on the piss”. A nice evening to hand around and continue to enjoy the parkin lot ambiance.
