Last friday was the opener of the Arizona general elk season. The group I was with set up camp about 25 miles in off the nearest paved road. Things where going just as planned until late saturday night around 1:00 a.m. when we were all woken out of sound sleep to people yelling that they where coming into are camp and needed help.
I crawled out the tent as did others and there stood 2 adult males about 25-30 years old and one of the guys 5 year old son. When we inquired as to the problem, they told us there truck had broken down and needed a ride back to there house. They told us it was a about 5 miles to there place once we hit the paved road or about a 3 hour round trip. When asked what they where doing out this late they replied joy riding and drinking beer. Thankfully one of the guys that had killed offered to take them out, he left at 1:30 and returned around 4:30 a.m.
The next afternoon we where talking about what had happened,
all people in camp said they would have droven them out because they had a kid with. I then made the comment that had the kid not been with them I would have give them all the supplies they needed to survive the nite and let them hitch it out the next day. One of the guys in the group said he would have taken them out anyway. What would have you done ?
