Day 50 - Leave Me Alone

I want idiots to leave me alone. The first idiot parked his car literally inches from my bike. I was so frustrated I pounded on his car. He wasn’t there but I debated on waiting with my taser until he came back. Probably a good thing I didn’t. The second idiot kicked up one of my stakes. I was in my tent enjoying dinner when I hear an idiot walk by. He doesn’t realize (like an idiot) my guy lines are right there. He trips over it and I yelled at him. I got out of my tent as fast as I could but I think he ran away. I hope tomorrow I won’t see any idiots. Anyways. Enough of my anger. I think it’s deserved? I just don’t like idiots. Now onto my day. It was a long one. I woke up exhausted. My dad texted options for camping either 20 or 40 miles away instead of 97. I chose 20. I needed it. Robin let me camp at his spot so I wouldn’t get the cops called on me. Got going. Painfully. Did 25 slow miles to my hike. I had a BIG lunch. So good. So full. Right after I got really tired. I laid down in the only shaded spot under a sign for 10 minutes. I got up and started my hike. Pretty flat. It was a MTB trail but it was cool. A little boring but I enjoyed getting a chance to look around. Down the mountain was better then was able to run some sections. Nothing long cause remember how yesterday I said my legs hurt? Yeah so today they hurt even more. I came back and had the incident with the first idiot. Painfully I decided to do another 7 mile loop. It was meh. I could’ve gone without it. Nothing I haven’t seen already. I tried running down but could barely pick my feet up. I tried multiple times. I tripped and somehow didn’t fall. I noticed my portable charger fell out. I prayed I would find it. It was buried under a bush but the black charger was sitting on top so I could see it. A gift from God. Slogged my way bike to the bike and dreaded a 10 mile ride to my campsite. They charged me $42.99 to pitch my tent. Grrrrrr. Made it and called Noah. Called my buddy again :). Called mom and dad for awhile. Someone let me charge my portable and watched a meteor fall out of the sky as I called them. Then got in my tent for dinner. The second idiot happened. Wrote my journal and going to bed now.

Idiot #1. It makes me angry just looking at it

My portable charger is somewhere in there. You literally could not see it except for the charger.

Today's ride: 36 miles (58 km)
Total: 3,698 miles (5,951 km)
