Run 572: The Pig Shiggy Run

RUN #572 .. THE PIG SHIGGY RUN!!!
29 June 2008 at Timerhi
Hares: Gypsy Bitch, ChopSuzuki and Winston

The day dawned bright and rainy on Sunday, which probably accounted for the massive under attendance at this run, most hashers being made of Sugar and Salt!!

Anyway, the hash left the BHC at about 11.45 and drove up to the Timerhi race circuit, where a blistering hot SUN was shining, and proceeded to spend the rest of the day in said SUN!!!

A small mixup in instructions resulted in Tinky Winky getting lost on the in trail, and therefore the run itself started slightly late. ... What else is new!?!?!?!?!

Off we go with 2 new hashers, one an import (Friar Fuck) from Virginia.

Along slightly damp sand trails ... first off a nice false trail that all of the hash fell for except Friar Fuck!!

Easy running/ jogging/ walking all the way. Almost no bush worth talking about until close to the end, and even that was low down and still mostly sand, right up to the tiny, shallow little creek that ran along side of the PIG FARM!!!!

Crossing that creek was interesting... obviously this farm has been in existence for quite some time!!!!

Back up the hill, past Winston's place, where we stopped to climb a tree and pick a big, at, hhhhheeeeaaaavvy ripe Koa (Jak Fruit for the rest of the world). Carrying that was a B - - - -!!!

The run was about 35 - 40 minutes long and we got to the Fung-A-Fat farm in good order, had the circle done with, punished the sinner (Bridge Bouncer) for questioning the length of the 1/2 mile false trail, punished Airbag Kisser (nee Dog Trainer) for completing her final exams, and thence into the pool where frizbee and ball were played with great abandon for the next 4 hours in the sweet hot SUN.

The Last hasher left the Farm around 5pm (that being myself) following close behind the other 4 vehicles as the last rays of the setting SUN lighted the evening sky, and the parrots and parakeets flew overhead.

I hear the weather in G/town was rather wet that day.

Lethem Rodeo II - Live Hare Run at Moco Moco Hydropower dam

GHHH road trip to the 2008 Lethem Easter Rodeo

Run 557 - Live Hare Run at the Moco Moco Hydropower Dam
Hares: ChopSuzuki and SpermBank

Cheap lodging, but better than the back of a Bedford truck.
Many thanks to the D’Aguiar family for their generous hospitality.

Looks like Bouncing Bikini and Poke-Her-Honkas had a pajama party!

Don't ask!

Liquid breakfast, again!

Back in the truck!

Give us we free!

Just like dogs, sticking their heads into the wind.

The village guarding the pass to Moco Moco

The gate doesn't even have a padlock!

Plaque commemorating the commissioning of the Moco Moco hydropower station in November 1999. The 0.50 megawatt was a US$3 million joint project of the Chinese and Guyana governments. The Chinese provided the engineering expertise and loaned the money for the project. The Chinese handed the facility over to the Lethem Power Company on 24 April 2003.

"Tag you're it!" Wait, that's a different game.

The tube on the left is the penstock (water conduit) for the hydropower facility. It is 644 meters (2113 feet) long. The pipes are 630 mm (2.0 feet) in diameter.

972 steps; we're almost there!

Made it! Note the missing section of tube. On 7 July 2003--ten weeks after the Chinese handed over the facility to Guyana--a landslide busted up the penstock and the hydro-electric power station has been out of commission ever since. Seems the engineers had not bothered to stabilize the slope before building the penstock. It never occurred to the Chinese engineers that torential rains (which are about as rare in Guyana as hot days) might cause landslide on these very steep and unstable slopes. Or maybe they handed it over because they did know it was about to bust???
