It's Boomerang's Birthday and of course he volunteered to set a trail, or was it Cock-a-Leeky (just to the left) who volunteered him to set a trail?

The trail start is near the Cadboro Bay Festival's sand sculptors at Gyro Beach.  The hashers got organized enough for a photo.  Click here for a larger image

Pepper's Foods are a sponsor.  This sand castle is the creation of local sand sculptor Fred Dobbs and his team of artists.  The festival had 7 teams of sculptor, but Dobbs got the job of doing the Festival's iconic castle.

To coastal native cultures the Salmon is a symbol of prosperity, steadfastness and dependability, maybe just like Boomerang.  Of course I might be writing this hoping he shares more of his scotch with me at his next birthday.

FRBs, having long come and found this YBF and left to follow a timely placed arrow by Boomerang pointing in the correct direction, left Frogger and others to next find the YBF.  He and the others were followed the hare Cock-Leeky (who had forgot her own trail).

Ice Breaker thinks this is a good omen of where to go.

Hashers take a break while some FRBs look for true trail.

It's a stop a the Finnerty Cove shelter, part of the Haro Woods Walk.  Haro Woods is part of the properties bequeathed to UVic by the Hudson Bay Company.  Hashers like to set trail in and around UVic, so here is a PDF of all their community walks.

The Hare calls the on-afters to get a table and...

...checking his time.  They aren't half-done the run yet!

Some Bitch C', Frogger, and Deep Shit, wait patently for the Hare to organize on-afters.

Where to next?  Often practical, Just Susan - Boomerang's 'squeeze' - reviews the walkers map ahead of time.  How far do they have to go?

The pack makes it to the BC in Mystic Vale, have started religion, the trail rated, and the Hares are down-downed.

Boomerang gets punished again, and mimics 'roll back' while hasher sings One Skin (see song 13 on the Songs for Sinners).

Stroke Alone isn't so sure about what's floating in his down-down.

Stooly Andrews, Cock-a-Leeky, and SBC are punished.

Cinderella is called into the circle.
