The Run:

OK. So it was a kayak/canoe hash. How much can there be to say about that? The start was from a boat launch just above a dam in Hope Village, at the border of Cranston and Scituate, on the Pawtuxet river. Pubic, WHO, Bondo and the hare were in Kayaks. WIPOS and Wee Balls shared a canoe, as did Basket, Tinker and Short Shorts.

 

“Trail” was marked with economy. There may actually have been many marks, but the river was moving, and they probably had long since washed over the dam. The flotilla headed upstream, northwest. There were maybe two checks, with falsies leading to blind ends. WHO was stupid enough to try both falsies. This was the only thing which made the event resemble a hash. Oh, AND the fact that WIPOS and Wee Balls led, and managed to miss the beer check, continuing upstream to the dam at Scituate Ave.

 

The beer check was peaceful enough. At least until the lost canoers returned, and managed to tip over trying to get out of their canoe. Ha, Ha! None of the kayakers tipped. And WIPOS wanted WHO to join him for the Mews Canoe race. Good Luck!

 

Finally, they grew low on beer, and bored with song. They headed back. Downstream. Southeast. Exciting? It was growing dark as they pulled in. After loading the boats on their cars, they circled up overlooking the dam. Ratings: No shiggy (except for WIPOS, Ha, Ha!), few marks and no one lost balanced against 22.69% bimbos, and complete lack of pavement. Total: +0.69. Hashit went to Wee Balls initially for choosing to ride with WIPOS. However, as is often the case, it wound up (appropriately) with Basket.

 

After the circle, they went to a bar. It may have been that one over by Riverbend Park. It may not. WHO has a clue?
