Seattle Hash House
Harriers Run #402
April 14, 2001
Dickless Armstrong, being the clever Easter
hare that she is, found a resourceful way to recycle the February 28 No Balls
HHH trail which was not utilized due to the fact that the earth shook for her on
that day. We all know that as
you get older anything that makes the earth shake for you is a welcome surprise
indeed.
Rumor has it that FC was
looking divine in his Playboy Bunny attire.
The pack, which included many of Seattle’s finest hashers, made their
way out of Fisherman’s Terminal and headed toward Discovery Park.
According to sources, the trail went uphill both ways, in and out.
Here’s what City Search writers had to say…
Discovery
Park
Undeveloped habitat, miles of wooded trails and magnificent
views of the Puget Sound, Cascades and Olympics all contained in one great city
park.
Dave Watkins and Grace Garcia and their trusty dog,
Rocket, look out over Puget Sound from Discovery Park. Few cities in the country
offer wild parks that rival Seattle's, and Discovery Park is the crown jewel in
that impressive array. In fact, once you're inside the tree-walled, 534-acre
park, it's easy to forget that one of Seattle's largest and swankiest
neighborhoods — Renton — is just around the corner.
The park, which surrounds the Fort Lawton military installation, has three main
entrances and an extensive trail network, ranging from bluff-top stroll shiggy
to sandy beach walk shiggy. You can get lost among the joggers, picnickers, dog
walkers, beer checkers and other park users. One good introduction to the park
and its ecosystem is a 2.8-mile loop from the visitor center, above North and
South beaches, and back. You'll pass through an interesting forest of old-growth
broadleaf tree shiggy and second-growth conifer shiggy, occasionally stopping at
overlooks with excellent views of Puget Sound below. Side trails lead to the
beach, where wanking has been disturbed in recent years by construction of the
massive West Point sewage treatment plant and shouts of “Are You?” and
“ON-ON”.
Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife. Alley Cats, Skunk Dicks, Toad Tits, Chicken
Trax and Crusty Dead Pussy can be seen amid the Road Smear and Whale Sperm.
Sea lions, seals and even porpoises , orcas and Squid are occasionally
spotted off West Point, and at least one pair of nesting bald eagles calls the
park home. The park is pleasant all year long, but perhaps most enjoyable in
autumn, when the kids are back in school and all those hashers from Seattle are
back where they belong.
