37 ROADWALK #2 7/21/2021 sunny, hot. Got up again at the butt crack of dawn. Drove 60 miles to start. I decided to go from 324 to Bannack Bench to 278 and forgo the walking shortcut that was shorter but more complex. Listened to Infinite audible book. It allowed me to just walk and ignore the route. The time flew by. Got to Justin about 1:45 pm. We were invited to Greg’s front porch to chat while I drank my cold sodas and ate my lunch. Greg had allowed Justin to park on his property while he waited for me to arrive. Afterwards on the way north to Wisdom RV park we stopped to give 7 sodas again to all the SOBO hikers from yesterday. And two more to “Breezy” and “Ridge”. We got back to my tent which had partially blown down having pulled out a pole stake. We can see the smoke of the forest fire rising from the mountains in the distance. Justin made each of us 2 cheeseburgers with onions. I finished with 2 cherry tootsie roll pops.
