Jim, you raised the key point.? According to Inyo's Q&A, that permission to finish would not apply unless you are both on the Forest and not crossing or reentering it from a Park to exit.? Which would raise the interesting circumstance, for instance, that a SoBo hiker out of VVR could finish over Piute Pass to pick up a car staged at North Lake - maybe - but a NoBo Hiker could not, because that would require entering the Forest from the Park.? The maybe is because even the SoBo would have to exit the Sierra and enter the Inyo at the Crest.? Inyo does a lot of things very well,? I am sure, but thinking through its orders and communicating them to the public is not one of them.
