Me 2007-05-12 Bad mood
May 12th, 2007
I’ve been in a bad mood today and a lot of it is my own fault. I talked with a biker on the path about how bikes aren’t allowed on the PCT and though things were kept civil I was pretty mad that he really didn’t care. He did say he was considerate to hikers, not racing around corners etc. etc. and when I next caught up with him he was trying to move a log off the trail that was too big for just him. We moved it together and I felt a bit better but I still stewed over it, mostly about me being too snappy to start with when he did seem like a good guy after all. I have also been angry at myself for resenting the way the work/room situation at Nature’s Inn panned out. Hikers are getting a huge discount and we are grateful, but when things aren’t quite as they are claimed, and you get paid 1/2 what you were told it gets on your nerves, or at least it gets on mine.
The walk itself, nearly 23 miles, would have been easy if it weren’t for my enormous pack. Still, tomorrow morning I’ll have a raisin and cinnamon muffin, then a couple of pop-tarts and in the afternoon I should be eating pringles while soaking in Deep Creek hot springs.
