Now that
everybody made sure Namron was gone (but most probably because no free food was
offered), only 10 hashers showed up for Able Semen’s Hash.
Due to some
rain, the trail he had planned (going down Doi Chang) was flooded and
impassable. He came up with a B trail at the last minute. So much so, he even
showed up late to his own hash.
Able, being
a practical man, decided to avoid confusion and to keep the 2 PM time for the
hash, even though it was much closer than the original Doi Chang trail. How
very fortunate for us: the sun was blasting at max UV so we did not feel cold
at all on this shadeless trail.
Able warned
us that some paper might have been displaced since the locals were eyeing him
when he was laying the trail. Just to be sure we wouldn’t get lost, he tagged
along for a big part of the trail, giving out directions to the DFLs while the
FRBs were working hard on their heat strokes.
After a bit
too many head on encounters with Wirgin Bruce and the DFLs who claimed to be on
the right path because “Able told them so”, I decided to take a break and talk
to Mr Semen about the virtues of water, sunscreen and letting other people do
the dirty work for you. Twenty minutes later, when I caught up with the whole
group, they were at a dead end, with their fingers tightly jammed in different
orifices of their own bodies. So much for the DFLs doing any kind of work.
I
backtracked about 300 meters, found the trail and hesitated for a long time
before calling the “On! On!”. Since my wife was among the “other” group, I
finally decided to call it out. I guess the sun was affecting my judgement more
than I thought.
We
eventually all reached the end of the first leg of the hash. We all refueled on
water and were on our way to the finish… ALL FOUR OF US: Bad Hobbit, H2Hoe,
Wirging Bruce and myself.
Shame,
shame, shame on the rest of the hashers that we will call Spartapuss, Lost
Samurai, Mile High, Matso, On Fire and Fired Up, to preserve their anonymity.
All around
great hash from Able Semen. If that was a B Hash, we can’t wait for the A Hash!
