Hare:- No Good Boyo

On Aug 11 in 1949 Babe Ruth became the first baseball player to reach 500 career home runs with a homer in Cleveland’s League Park. What does that have to do with the trail on Monday 11 August, 2025 – well No Good Boyo and his co hare Bullit did not hit a home run! It was a great trail, if only they had marked it. Before they throw rocks at a poor visitor, it was a very nice peaceful area with little traffic. So I followed out a number of the slower ones at the start – we worked our way though a couple of reasonable checks and then down a dirt road through a pack of snarling dogs. Then it fell apart.

Comes For Beer, Comes in Spurts and Splat checked left and eventually called on on, ok it was two hundred plus meters to the paper but it was paper. Turns out this was the on in. Splat had enough and joined the now resting hares for a drink. Comes in Spurts carried on going backwards on trail. I was told two early departers, Boob and Incomplete were the names I was given left 30 min early – they sorta followed the trail, did an extended loop to the south but found the river, got back on trail and found Tinker at the normal beer stop and check along the river – except there was not beer stop there. Tinker says Boob and Incomplete were the first ones there - where was everyone else.

The GM Spinning Dwarf but this time used his superior intellect to make a loop back towards the start and home. Being a visitor I continued on with some others and we found the check by the river finally but Tinker was gone. We never solved that check and had to meander back to the start by dead reckoning. Of course two of the members, Senator and Porkfinder – being Thai – took advantage of local knowledge and were home before I got there. Even this Pro Wrestling guy Meatloaf beat me in – or was he the fat lead singer for some band.

Tall Man and his female driver (do you believe that is what she is?) arrived in a huff saying no one could have completed that trail! Yes we did said Incomplete Erection!

The guy who looks like a refugee from a homeless compound in the mountains of the USA – named Tickler I am told – wandered in but no one knows where he went.

Refreshments at the A site followed all of us looking for Hot Mix’s cheese. Nibbles emerged from her wine chair to supervise the snacks.

The GM held a circle thanking the hares for trying, at least is was a nice area. However wokeness broke out and everyone who was asked said it was the best trail ever – except Tall Man who had departed with his driver! We did have a couple of visitors who were recognized and perhaps a couple of returners. Then RA Senator came in and did not award the Prick of the Week to the hares; instead it went to Comes In Spurts for leading the pack the wrong way then running the trail backwards. Announcements were made and then footsteps and Tinker appeared out of the dark. I got lost coming back from the beer stop he exclaimed – do I still have to pay – naw, GM took pity on him and gave him a cup of beer for free.

Finally we adjourned to dinner and the hares saved their reputations with superb cuisine and flowing beer. Thank you hares. On On till I visit again.
