• Hashing in Tampa Again

    May 30, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Just going to put them all in one post. Got to do some excellent trails in the greater Tampa / St Pete / Sarasota region over the past couple weeks.

    After haring the Jolly Roger H3 trail below, I added:

    Jolly Roger H3 #1644 - Hared this one out at Ft Desoto. It was a special Saturday trail, to benefit HPV who had just suffered a stroke.

    Sarasota Circus H3 #325 - Short trail, as part of a series of trails laid for dog owners.

    Taco Tuesday H3 - Fun city trail, good night for a run.

    Jolly Roger H3 - Was all set to hare for the third JRH3 trail in a row. But as we gathered at the start, we had an afternoon thunderstorm. 5 Minutes before I was off to set trail, two big lightening strikes hit near the park, and the pack decided that . . . no fucking way dude . . . and we all just headed to the on-afters.

    St Pete H3 #219 - We had a new transplant come in from Tidewater H3, via California. It was a great evening for a hash run, but trail was prelaid, and it rained. So the hare did a live relay to check it out. We ended up with a check on a false trail, that ended up causing us much confusion. Eventually figured it out, and finished up a 4 mile trail in nearly 6 miles. :O)

    Tampa Bay H3 #1191 - It was Puppy's 22nd anniversary of hashing. He set a short pavement pounder behind the Appleby's on Gandy. It was a hot day, but still running a hash is better than sitting around.

    Monday Federal Holiday H3 - Just happened to be in town for Memorial Day, and was asked to set trail. Did this one over in Pinellas Park area. Winged it, based on my general knowledge of the area, and gave the pack a 4+ mile loop around a couple parks, and alleyways between buildings.

    Even with the aborted lightning storm, it was still 7 trails over 14 days. Good good.

    Was a fast two weeks, now it is time to head to the airport again. First stop, ICELAND.
