Today we woke up to frost, but no snow (we were fully expecting snow...it did snow a little on Saturday night as we set up camp). I ate my last night's dinner for breakfast...cold granola just didn't sound very good this morning! Then we packed up and hiked out the three miles to where we left the car.
I took some cool frosty-flower pictures as we hiked back--it was so beautiful out! Irwin still couldn't find his keys, so we made plans to rearrange things in the car so that he could ride down with us and then figure out some way to get his extra key from home. When we got to the trailhead we also saw the guy who had been out on the two-week hike--he had a dead battery! We didn't have jumper cables, but we found some forest service volunteers who did when we got to Harts Pass; they must have helped him out right away because he overtook us on our drive back to town. Irwin was also able to make arrangements to get his extra key, although he won't be able to get back to his truck until tomorrow--poor guy! All in all it was a great trip, but I still feel very sorry for Irwin with his lost keys!

| Pretty section of trail. The frost had melted by this time. |

| One packed Suburu. It's hard to tell, but the back was so full we could barely close the door. |
