Not much to say about the last day: it was the 13.5 miles from our campsite on Woods Creek to our car at Roads End. It was hot and smoky (courtesy of a forest fire near Cedar Grove), but had some nice spots. We eschewed the usual salami/cheese on tortilla lunch, in favor of a burger at the Cedar Grove concessionaire. We arrived 5 minutes before closing! Unfortunately, some bonehead's truck rolled back into our rented Toyota Prius, moving it 4 feet laterally and smashing the front bumper against a log. Luckily the guy gave his insurance to the ranger, so we shouldn't have any trouble. Keeping our fingers crossed!
