Journal:

A lazy start to the day for Dave, and not so lazy for Julie, who went for a run around Dillon with Christine.

The four of us had a late breakfast at an American diner up the road before Mathieu and Christine drove us around town to various shops to do our usual resupply.  Dillon seems to be a busy rural college town with civic pride and well-kept properties.

Then, while Dave stayed at the hotel.doing some planning, admin and relaxing with the TV on in the background, Julie joined Mathieu and Christine on a visit to the ghost town of Bannack, once the capital of Montana.

Later, after a very pleasant dinner in downtown Dillon, near the college/university, we returned to the motel to pack ready to return to the trail tomorrow for the next five-day leg which we have heard is tough.
