Final night festivities...

...with three special guests: Spencer, Mandy and Abby!

The long ride home from rafting

Not pictured: three other unconscious campers. Hit terrible traffic in Vallejo, due to road work. Narrowing hwy 80 to one lane!

But the trusty iPhone "show traffic" feature helped us find a shortcut, so we only list 45 minutes instead of 90.

No 'smores tonight. But we did hit a Baskin Robbins when we started the trip home.
