Expedition

Being a Sunday hash, I knew I would be able to get to this one once I got back to Hamburg and it was on a block right next to where I normally take the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood. It's within the range for a Couch Potato Honorable Mention as well!

Today was our last day traveling for my Girlfriend's Birthday Extravaganza (See note on earlier expedition). We started the day with brunch and met up with a friend of hers that is still living around Winchester, VA. Then, just outside of town, is the Virginia Farm Market which (according to my gf) has the best pies in the world. So naturally, we stopped to pick up half a Peach pie for ourselves and a Strawberry/Rhubarb for her mother. The rest of the drive home was uneventful, besides the occasional getting stuck behind a slowpoke in no passing areas.

Simon, ever the opportunist, kept ringing the bells to go out to play even though my sister, who was watching the dogs, took them to Franklin Gulf for a good hike earlier in the day before dropping them off at my house. So I took him out with me to the hash. As we were walking down the street to the hash, I realized I could also turn this into a Tron if I followed our normal walk around town. Originally, I was planning on just hitting the hash and coming home. I would have to be careful and from the satellite pictures, it appeared to be on the front lawn so I was planning on having to take a step or two onto the grass. As we turned the corner to the hash, I turned on the HashDroid App and got extremely lucky as the blue dot was offset from the sidewalk a bit and right in line with the hash. After walking through the hash and getting a screenshot, I spun around and got a couple pictures before continuing on our way. Success had, we then just walked our normal way around the village and got back to the house from the other direction. Tron complete! Might need some research, but is Simon the first Tron-Dog? Excited to also get the rare Walking hash as well.

Checking the Tale of Two Hashes, I'm also going to be completing a challenge for Hamburg!

Path of the Tron Expedition and now you know how I usually walk the dogs.
