Day 22, July 27, Wednesday.
Start in Anaconda at Big Sky RV Park, near AN260-M, mile 26.4 of Anaconda route, then accepted ride to Morel Road AN-372RL, mile 37.2 of Anaconda route.
Stop near 19-272GT, a few miles after Anaconda Cutoff reunites with CDT
Miles walked: 14.2 Anaconda + 5.8 CDT = 20.0
An early start gets me to the grocery store shortly after it opens. Repackaging food takes time, so I am back walking at 9:30AM. With a long road-walk ahead before getting to public land with water to camp, it would be better to be further along.
I need to ship some gear back home, so swing by the post office. Several old historic buildings are in this part of town.
