Today’s little lesson, don’t talk to strangers, or at least don’t let them take you back to their hunting cabin in the middle of nowhere!
Alright, so let’s call us James and Jane. So we were driving on a road trip, coming close to Edmonton, Alberta. Neither of us had been there before, but we were going to be staying with James’ cousin. Unfortunately, we were getting close, and we couldn’t get a hold of her by phone, nor did we have an address. This was late in the day, and we decided to pull off the road for a break. We slapped some sandwiches together, and chilled.
Meanwhile, some guy in an old pick up truck drives up and asks us if we need help. That was nice of him, but really, we’re just eating sandwiches (no distress here). So he drives off. But, less than 10 minutes later, he comes back, and offers us a place to stay. He has a hunting cabin up in the woods, up this road. So, before I can open my mouth, my boyfriend says, “actually, that’d be great!”. And we proceed to follow his truck up this road.
Well, I was pissed. I couldn’t believe James had agreed to this, and I had to explain to him that because I’m a girl, I was raised to stay away from potential ax murderers (or something to this extent). So, he tells me that he didn’t think about it like that, but that now he was freaked out too. When, we get there, it’s just 9the guy and his son who visits him on weekends (he’s late teens-mid twenties). He offers us drinks and of coarse I decline, but James takes one. And, the guy shows us his wolf pelts of all the wolves that he shoots on his property! He also offers us his son’s bed to sleep in. But, so help me, I was going to lock myself in the van all night.
However, to wrap this story up, we finally managed to get a hold of the cousin on our cell phone, and sped off back to the high way. Now, this guy could have been completely genuine. And he said that he’d received a lot of generousness in his traveling days, and just wanted to give back. But I wasn’t taking that risk. I wish I had words to describe this cabin that he took us too, but trust me, it was creepy.
