"Well, I don't see anything else of use here, so," Claire replies, hefting her satchel a bit more securely over her shoulder, "a-hiking we will go and all that."

It takes a few minutes walk in the direction she indicates, but she finally, finally hears a horn honk again from the road. Can, as the trees clear, and they start to walk upwards, the stones on a hill just beyond the ridge, see the road a fair distance away.

Given how long she walked, she feels like she should have reached here sooner. But perhaps she simply talked to Crane longer than she realized.
