Troll's 2010 AT Journal

04 August 2010, NY 52
Today was a depressing day for me. I cannot pinpoint why, I was just not in a good mood and really did not want to be on the trail today. I really don't want to go back on the trail tomorrow either. I hope this passes.

Not really much to write about hiking wise today. It was humid but not really bothersome until you started climbing. But the slightest little climb made me sweat profusely.

Slightly Inappropriate walked up on me just before the Shenandoah Tenting area and we talked and caught up on things until we got to the side trail to the tenting area. We both went there and he got water from the hand pump and I went just to check it out. It would have been a great place to spend the night.

When I got to NY 52 there were coolers and containers with food and soda for trail magic. It was a very pleasant surprise. I have not had trail magic in a long time and this spruced up my day.

We came into Stormville tonight and made a trip to Wal-Mart where Bluesky bought a comb and scissors. She trimmed my beard and hair tonight. She had her own hair business before she got on the trail. I am very happy with the job she did on my beard, not long sand not to short.

Notes:
I am tired of this ****. Hopper has to question everything I tell her. An example is driving directions. She asked me which way to go at times as we are driving to the trail head. When I tell her she often times doubts me and goes the opposite way that I tell her. Then when she gets confused and realizes she went the wrong way she blames me and gets upset. She never admits when she is wrong. This happens all the time. I am at the point where I am afraid to give her directions now because she is going to question me or not believe what I tell her anyways.
