36 ROADWALK #1 7/20/2021 sunny, hot. Left Best Western hotel in Dillon at 4:50 am. Got to Bannock Pass at 6 am and started hiking about 6:20 am. Made great time and completed 8 miles in 2 1/2 hours. Listened to audible books to pass the time. Got to Justin at mile 20 at 1:10. I was zooming! Afterwards Justin drove tomorrow’s route. I was a rough dirt road. More a trail than a highway. Then we got on 278 and went through Jackson MT. Justin saw some hikers and pulled over. He said to me “Ask them if they want a soda”. They did. We met and talked to the following SOBO Thru-hikers: “Blue”, “Dine and dash”, “Sliders” (a woman hiker), “Rugg”, and finally a few miles further we gave a Coke to “Water boy” in the rain. Just got a campsite spot in Wisdom MT RV park. He made a chicken and corn chowder mix which was nice, spicy and filling. Tomorrow I’ll be doing another 20 miles road walk #2 slack pack.
