SOI 2023
The Southern Oregon InviHashional is back!!!!
Dec 1-3, 2023
It's once again time to black out the first full weekend in December, pack your largest
vessel, raid the piggy bank for $125, and head out to lands surrounded by trees, river, trees,
landowners with guns, hot tubs, trees, and a few slightly sloping hills.

As usual, we will ensnare the Southern Kennels of Oregon in a weekend of joint
debauchery! We again have the Galice Lodge on the Rogue River where Shenanigans are
inevitable. The Lodge is on the river in the midst of BLM land, with a full kitchen, 8
bedrooms, lots of couches, and 7 bathrooms!!!. We are also renting the adjoining
Riverhouse (capacity 18). Bring your foolishness and thirst for beer and join the party. The
first 40-ish to register & pay get a space in a bed in the Lodge, otherwise bring a sleeping
bag for crashing on a couch. Remember that there are a double and a single bed in most
rooms. Some have 2 doubles. Please talk to your friends and decide upon your groups of 3
or more. Otherwise, you will get bedspace somewhere as available….
Sleeping arrangements will be attempted to be folded: first registered, first to be guaranteed
roommates of choice. Most rooms are double bed + single bed, some are more crowded.
So plan to get cozy with at least two other hashers. Room requests can be made on your
rego form or by contacting Barely, they will be filled in order of registration number.

Please do not contact the Lodge directly: Send your questions to us! The owners like us
and we want to keep it that way.
Come Friday night for drinking, games, potluck, and a late nite Snipe Hash!
Stay Saturday for an epic Hash, religion, dinner, and, of course, beer! Warning: 4Stroke was
born and raised in a patch of poison oak on top of cliff near the Galice Lodge and grew up
swinging a steel hammer in the Galice mines. He personally knows every badger, goat,
mountain lion, coyote, weasel, and fox in the area and they have shown him every trail for
miles in every direction.
