Hashing in Alberta

Experience a Virtual Hash run "Alberta Style"

Just scroll down-down-down-down

The hashers arrive and begin to form a pack.
There is much strutting, preening and beer drinking.

All the hashers have a good stretch preparing for the short run a-head.
(Did somebody say head?)
Eventually, the RA calls for "Circle-up"

Introductions are made along with many useless announcements and sometimes even a poem.

Oaths are taken and circle goes on and on and on and on....
Until finally the RA is thrown out of the circle and the hares take control. The hares, of course, carefully explain all of the markings and what is to be expected during the run.

....and the pack is off....this ain't so bad.....

Just a little creek crossing...

...and up a little hill....

"If you can't find the markings try a little higher!"

Off the cliffs and.....

....into the cactus

Grateful Survivors cluster together.

On-on to our third creek crossing.

Hashers re-group at Hash Hold #1, drowning their injuries with beer.

At the top of the valley the terrain changes to Prairie.
As you can see the Hashers are still going strong, checking pulses and stride-lengths.

What could be a better setting for Hash Hold #2??

Along with barbed wire, tumble weeds and a couple of Alberta's wild roses.

The run continues back into the valley.

Down the hill to....you guessed it....Hash Hold #3!

ON-IN!

All this running sure makes a hasher thirsty.

Hash Medic's tend to the wounded.

Anyone hungry? How would you like your steak?

Hash chow includes a lady's cut of prime Alberta Beef.
No mad cow here!

Don't bug us while were eating!
Nasty Ditch held "the look" a little longer but soon both were back to eating.

Nothing better to wash the trail dust off than with a hot tub.

'Nuff said.

The RA recalls the circle and things start to get hazy.

The whole world starts to spin.

It doesn't make any sense...down-downs through a straw?

Did somebody call a doctor?? Turns out to be a gynecologist.

Night falls and the punishments continue....

Now that you're seated we will punish you......but first a story.......

Get a room!

Ohmygod! No, please not here!

Stop it! You're in the circle!

Hormones run wild!

Others can't help themselves and join in.

Some get horizontal.

What's this turning into?
This is getting kinky.
Fast times at Ridgemont High.

Wild thang!

Oh you little heartbreaker!

Mr. Peeenut gets in on fun....

Even our esteemed RA loses it!

The party continues well into the wee hours.
How about a massage before bedtime?

The morning after the night before.
Don't know about you but my head hurts
(Did somebody say head?)

We're On-On in EdmONtON
