The finale had started with a light drizzle, but soon cleared as the scouts charged onward. The group was split with four scouts in each group, and amazingly enough, Ryan and Colin were in the back group. Everybody charged with new vigor, even the regularly slow people. Nothing could stop our troop on this trail. With the river on our left, we all thought about what a shower would feel like. Soon, all eleven of us were in one group and we saw different campsites that had mile markers. One said 0.9 miles, and we all got excited. A bit later we could see asphalt, and then cars! We all yelled and whooped, celebrating that our fifty miles was finally complete. After a few group photos we ran to the cars, changed into civilization clothes, and were on our way, happy for our job well done.
We got into the line for the ferry, expecting a two hour wait. After waiting for a bit, Austin and I needed to use the restroom. The only place we could find was in the opposite direction of our car, so we tried to make it quick. However, we were too late, and the line started moving! We started running down the line, looking for our car. It had been 20 minutes of walking and running, and we could see the check point where they gave each car a tally slip. Suddenly, our car zoomed by the other way, with the leader inside yelling "HARRY!!!" Austin and I ran over to where they had pulled over and ran across the street, jumped in, and they put pedal to the metal to get to the line. We were the last car to get on the ferry, and our luck was scary but a good note to end the trip with.
