In the Arms of a Stranger

Last night I slept warm, safe, and protected in the arms of a stranger.

Crazy? Insane? Yes. Risky? A thousand times yes, and I realize that, and it's something I would never in a million years do. However... it's one of those "Weird things that happen to DSK" moments that somehow, while totally weird and unusual, turns out well.

My plan: drive to the mountains. Pick medicinal plants (St. John's Wort and possibly Stinging Nettle). Return home: attend a last-minute invite 4th of July party. Then Saturday go visit a friend in Moscow Idaho.

What happened: I picked up a hitchhiker. Then my whole weekend turned upside down, inside out, crazy and fun.

*****

Serendipitous moments, unexpected side stops to stretch my legs, check a view, things I normally don't do on my way to Lookout Pass delayed my arrival so that when I stopped at Elmer's Fountain I was in the right place at the right time that a certain hitchhiker was walking past. Elmer's Fountain (or one of them):



Looking up from my phone I saw him, and some deep inner voice said "He is okay. Offer him a ride". He saw me, then the fountains, and curious he walked down to investigate. We talked a bit, he set his pack down and we explored the area... then I offered him a ride.

Turns out he was heading to some hot springs I've been wanting to explore for years but never quite got to alone. After driving and talking a few minutes I decided... I have nowhere to be until tomorrow, nobody is really expecting me anywhere... why not take him the entire way?

Somewhere about 20 minutes into the ride the flirting started. No, he's not my type at all, and too old for my preference. But like he said "flirting boosts the morale".

Dang. I don't want this to be boring, but somehow (despite thinking it all out earlier today) have no idea how to share everything.

Some of the highlights:

Tons of talking, flirting, joking, laughing. The conversation just flowed. We both talked ourselves a bit hoarse.

He sang for me. A lot. He has a great, twangy old-country voice. He even sang me a song he wrote himself.

He hiked 3 miles round trip to get my air mattress from my car when I decided I wanted to stay overnight. At this point I was closer to my morning destination than going home would be.

Foot massage in the hot spring.

I learned (by observation and asking questions):
How to make a tent out of a tarp (actually 2 tarps apparently work better)
And a bed out of pine needles (incidentally not needed).
How to hang said tent with rope and a simple but sturdy knot that only comes undone when you want it to.
How to build a decent fire.

I spent hours sitting on a rock beside the river, just relaxing, contemplating, breathing. He said at one point he looked over at me, and thought "Look at her, she's totally caught up in the moment! Good for her!"

Some of the silly moments that made me laugh:

"It's clothing optional. I can take a pic of you and two hot guys and you can share with all your girlfriends and make them jealous" (and later: "Where the heck are all those hot naked men you told me about?!" "Oh.... I must have intimidated them! haha")

"Hey, pretty lady! What are you doing all the way out here?" (as I'm sitting on the rock beside the river combing my knee-length hair and singing softly to myself)
"Don't you know? I might be a siren"
"Really!! Then where are your two sisters? This could be fun!"

(While walking behind me up a trail):
"Damn! I wish I had a swing like that on my back porch"

In the car:
"Ohh, you only picked me up for my handsome good looks!"
followed by "My family isn't conceited. I got all of it!" -- apparently that's an oldie but one I'd never heard. I laughed hard.

We hiked in, he set up camp then we went and soaked in the hot springs (in swimming clothes). Our campsite was 5 steps from the river and within sight of one of the hot springs.



We talked about books. Life. Work. Travels. Sex. Relationships.

At one point he looked at me: "I see you're starting to get self-conscious. Stop it! There's no reason for it."
Nobody has ever said that to me before. I stopped.

We're both Taurus's. So we laughed a lot about "You know how Taurus's are!"

I went skinny dipping at midnight in one of the hot springs and watched the stars. With a man I'd only met hours before. And somehow wasn't embarrassed, or self-conscious, and I felt perfectly safe. There was another couple there when we arrived but they left 15 minutes later.

After: he loaned me a pair of his sweatpants and a sweatshirt to wear to bed as I had no warm clothes of my own with me. True to his word that "I am a gentleman. I'm interested ... but if you say no then it's no, and I won't step out of bounds" - he held me all night, arm around my waist and nothing more.

This morning, before breakfast, there was a deer between us and the spring. About an hour later there was a moose standing in the hot spring drinking, then he wandered over to stare at us in camp. Then he walked his normal path to the river ... and stared at us some more. I could have thrown a rock and hit him.

As it turns out I am handicapped when it comes to camera's so these are all the photos I got. But when he's back to civilization in another week or so he is sending me the few pics he took for me.

He filled my gas tank. And took me to lunch (Lochsa Lodge in Lolo MT has the best clam chowder I've ever tasted). Figured out what's wrong with my car so I can fix it when I get home. And walked me the 1.5 miles back to my car when I left.

Note: I very seldom give rides to strangers, and almost never accept rides. I know it is a dangerous and risky thing, and 99% of the time I would never do so. The few times I have... there was often another occurrence that happened at the same time, and that deep inner voice saying "this one's okay". I really can't explain it.

I ended up driving over 526 miles round trip between yesterday and today.

That may also have been my perception of the person he was vs the person he was becoming but didn't want to hurt me. So when I would question him: he'd deny. And since I believed him (my perception of the person he was)... I just assumed my "inner voice" was failing me.

Yeah... like I said, the few times I give or accept rides... that's pretty much how it works. Needs met on both sides, and "The Universe" put us in the right place and the right time.

    I am so impressed with your adventure, your daring and boldness, the honesty that opened up between you two, and last but not least your writing abilities.....wow to all of the above. You took a chance and that inner self chose wisely it would seem. I have done that once but not in such a primitive surrounding, still it was immensely exciting while at the same time being a bit of a trepidation for me as well. Hubby wasn't with me, but I decided to risk the opportunity and have not regretted it. I need to blog about it perhaps one day soon.

    B

I'm a total introvert. Usually I just quietly go my own way. But there are some people that I have an instant rapport with, and we can just talk. Sometimes they become friends, sometimes they are placed there just to point my life in a new direction I might not have reached on my own.

No sex was involved... at least not for me. I kinda suspect he took himself off alone for a few minutes after midnight to take care of things. Decided "don't ask, don't tell" was the better policy lol.

I suspect so. When I suggested exchanging contact information, he replied "Heck, yeah! You think I'll let you get away without that, you're crazy!" Of course you never know even so, but I hope he contacts me. Because he has a couple photos on his phone I want. Including what, at quick glance, I suspect is the best photo of me EVER.

The problem is... I'm happy quite often. But have a camera phobia lol... So, out comes the camera, out comes "totally self-conscious, how do I look? What do I do with my hands? I HATE having to "smile" for the camera. This is so dumb!" me. I want to hire somebody to secretly follow me around sometime lol... i think THOSE would be great photos.

Yeah... had I stopped to really think about it I would not have done any of it. But I've been told by family before that my inner voice is "always" right - and the only times I ever get in trouble is when I stop to logically think it out. What for anybody else would be "the wrong thing to do" -- somehow works for me.

That was absolutely beautiful. I believe that many of us are opening up in ways we couldn't have foreseen only a few years ago. I follow my instinct and my body far more than my head these days and I am so much happier. Your story feels to me like the magic that happens when we stop listening to fear and listen to our heart instead. Thank you for the really beautiful share!!!

*HUG* Thanks And glad you liked it. Part of me keeps waiting to be yelled at. Of course that's why only select people get the "entire" story.

I'm very glad you appreciate it

To be fair: many times fear is warranted, and blindly trusting a foolish choice. But sometimes it's "right".
