Brasilia H3 – Weekend Away Hash
May 14, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Day 2, the MAIN EVENT. Our hares, Opulence and Inbred Fred, made an early departure to go set the trail. The original plan for trail had been scouted weeks in advance, and would have made a fun and exciting loop around the valley, and finish up at a waterfall, where the circle would be held. Unfortunately, just three days prior, while on a last minute coordination trip to the park, it was discovered that another event was also planned for that park, and hash horse play would not fit in well. So, another location needed to be found . . . and super sleuth and GM of the hash, Opulence, found another park, with even more waterfalls, and made all the required arrangements . . . and it was on.
At 1 pm, the pack gathered at a local park for instructions. Instead of the previously planned loop trail, the runners were now getting the opportunity to run an A to B trail, while the walkers drove out to the park for a shorter climb up to the waterfalls. The 8 kms runners trail took in a bit of the town, and then set off up a dirt road headed out into the countryside. After several YBFs, Check Backs, and a bit of dust, the entrance to the park was found. Dashing our way through the reception area, we soon began the slow climb up the wooden walk ways to not one, but two peaks, with views of a dozen small waterfalls. Making it to the top of the second trail, the walkers and runner mingled for a swim, and a few dozen beverages were broken out to refresh the weary pack.
After an hour of hash hijinks, we made our way back down the trail to the reception area, where we rejoiced the day with a high spirited circle. After a few of the usual down downs, we reached out to abuse the many nationalities in attendance. First, the US hashers were called out for a group hug with the Russians (what a beautiful site). The apologetic Canadians were recognized with a brew. The Brazilians were called out and thanked for hosting this rabble of nearly 40 hashers. The Germans were called out for their lack of humor (hahahahaha, it’s the truth not just a rumor, Hahahahaha). After a few more well deserved brews, it was time to head back into town to clean up, and make our way to dinner at Jambalaya, a lovely little eatery on the hill. Another absolutely fabulous day in Alto Paraiso, Brazil.Read more
