“Coldest Hash of the Year”....

That Saturday was full of reunions with lots of old friends. Before heading to the hash, we had a wonderful lunch at Erika and Michael’s. I was thrilled to get to see them, but also felt sad that our time with them was so short and that I didn’t take any photos. 

Somehow the title of Sir Walter’s H3’s trail when we were in town didn’t scare us away—it was aptly named as the temps were really frigid. It was cool that the trail was laid by old timers that we’d known for many years. And luckily there were ways around the wet spots in the woods, so we managed to keep our feet dry. We were really touched that several old timers who had opted to skip trail came out to see us, with one couple stopping by the start of trail and several others joining us at a sports bar in Apex afterwards.

We got lots of hugs but were pretty crappy at getting photos. Here’s Jim, whom Veronica and Ashlynn used to call Sticky Nicky...

…and Kristine, who ran with me.
