9/26/05 Yet Another Hash

The hash this weekend was on a small river just a little north of St. George's. As usual the hash was in an extremely picturesque area but this time I took the shorter, easier route; I was feeling a little tired this weekend from NOT catching any fish over the previous week.

The first part took us out on a point to a nice black sand beach. We then turned inland where we hiked along the river.














An old mill, even beyond use by Grenadian standards so you know its bad!!







The last part of the hash took us along the main road where we came on these carvings in the stone. There was also a plaque close by, that was dedicated to a group of people who died in a bus/minivan accident several years ago. The story goes that a bus, full of passengers, was passing along the road when a boulder fell down the side of the mountain. The boulder is said to have been exactly the size of the bus and landed perfectly to crush every inch of the vehicle. Unfortunately, there were no survivors. Now understanding how absolutely crazy fast these bus drivers drive makes the story absolutely tragic; a split second faster and it would have been a different story.
