Mountain Adventure

An assemblage of cousins from various states, who are close and meet every year for their annual vacation, like to have fun and go to places they have never seen before. Last year their vacation together had some unforeseen adventures they didn't anticipate, so they were looking forward to a quiet and relaxing vacation together in a rustic cabin in the beautiful Missouri mountains. The lady at the registration desk and another lady tried to scare them away from their cabin, but these ladies were strong and wouldn't back down to any situation, so they traveled on toward their cabin and fell in love with it immediately. The registration ladies told them a wild tale of their cabin being one that Jesse James had slept in a long time ago and that he had hidden some money somewhere in that very cabin, and sometimes others would want to try to find it. All this didn't faze the strong women who were wanting a place to relax with their favorite cousins. They meet a variety of colorful characters along the way that would be hard for people to believe if they told them. Some of these characters were good and others not so good, leading the cabin ladies to have to do things they had rather not do to survive. Not all the vacation was bad. They had good times along with the bad. The cousins were close and would stick together no matter what came their way. The lady at registration was correct when she said some people would do anything for money, and they did.
