Three years ago my close family friends and family went to Maine. We were going to Acadia national park in Maine. We rented out a cabin for four families.
Since we went in a group we all drove there together like we always do. Like always we stopped the car every five minutes to check on everybody. Because of that we only got there when it got super dark so we couldn't see where we were going. This, too: we were in the middle of the forest so we couldn't ask for help. We couldn't find the cabin; let alone the driveway. When we tried to look on Google Maps there was no cell service.
Since we’d been circling the area for a while one of the people that live in the area came to see what was going on. We told them what happened and how we were trying to find the cabin, and they told us the way, but when we went where they told us the cabin was nowhere to be found.
Then all the kids got out of the cars because we couldn't sit in the cars anymore and needed to stretch our legs. We all sat at the side of the road. We were all huddled together and had blankets wrapped around us because it was so cold. We were goofing off and it was probably one in the morning. We were so loud. We were going on our phones to try and post on our stories that we were waiting in the middle of the forest (if you had seen our stories this was a normal thing for us so no one was worried) when we realized something.
We realized there was service on our phones. It was not strong but it was something. Soon after we realized it we started to text our parents to call the landlady. When they called the landlady she told us that she would be right over. We sat there for five minutes before the landlady came and she asked us if we had found the cabin. We said no. But then she walked over to where we were sitting and walked into an opening in the trees.
After she went in we followed her to see where she was going. It was super dark so we had our phone flash lights turned on. Then we saw it. We saw the cabin was hidden behind the trees. The landlady had thought we would come earlier so she hadn’t turned on the porch light.
As we walked into the house we forgot about our past worries and thought about our new ones, claiming beds.
