Trail run weekend...day 2

So Saturday we were just lounging around, mostly watching Cockrider try to not throw up from the hangover, although he'd ridden his body of all stomach contents the night before. Then he fell asleep in the tub, as it was filling up in the bathroom. I only know cause he came out laughing nervously. hahahaha dumbass!

An hour later we got a call from another hasher, who said that there was an L.A. hash going on at 3pm. hmmmmm, fuck it, why not. So after mapping it out, getting some breakfast, asking for late checkout, we got moving down the road (and not quite "on the way to barstow" as we thought) haha

Arrived at the start of the hash, and hung out for a while as people arrived.
In this first photo, the gentleman in the forefront with the white t-shirt on is "High quality asshole" if memory serves right. He is 85 y/0. holy shit. and still running trail. not walking it. Some of the L.A. hashers, just said they figured he'd die on trail. Honorable. Cool guy, and great to see that you can go forever in the hashing world.

And then I ran into Sin-D Bare, who I always run into around the world. (Thailand, Toronto, Costa Rica, random hashes around the USA as well) it's funny, we never plan it, but we always run into each other. He got a hall pass for the day, so came out hashing. He was telling me a story about how he tells everyone about Thailand and running into me there, and then says "Everytime I tell people about Thailand, I tell them about you getting stung by a scorpion on the ball buster trail in Chiang Mai" which is funny in itself, but then he says "First thing out of their mouth when I say that is, 'wait! What was Gaylord doing on the ballbuster trail?' " hahahaha

yeah, i didn't use to run a lot.
Good beer stop.
Running in the L.A. hills.

Was a good 5 miler, just to get the legs loose. We stuck around for a bit at the end, and then took off for Barstow. Stopped for some Mexican food and then arrived about 9:30pm. Took it easy and got stuff ready for the next morning. Great day. Met a bunch of new people, and saw some old friends that I hadn't seen in a long time.
