Everyone having sex is at least 18. This story is a work of fiction. I made it all up. Check reality at the door and enjoy it for what it is. Special thanks to goducks111 for his help and making this a better story. This story is already done, there are eight healthy parts ready for publishing.
I try to warn people about leaving reality at the door and yet they still complain that the story isn't real enough. Those people may blow a gasket with this story. Warning: this story contains a fun plot line and lots of action without the burden of realty. The story is intertwined with sexual situations and full on sex scenes.
At the very end of Part 8, I describe an alternate ending. I look forward to your feedback. Did I make the right decision?

Chapter 1 - Out for a walk
This is my third day hiking in Montana. I love nature and being out in the fresh air. All my equipment is ultralight and worn from my many years of camping and hiking. I have been on this trail several times but never in fall when the leaves are turning. I'm watching the colors change daily. It's wonderful. I'm glad I took the time to hike the trail at this time of year. I should get a house out here; the Rocky Mountains are incredible.
I am 29 and retired. I made a killing day trading. I took several coordinated gambles that had compounding effects on my trades. Those effects caused the final trades to explode into profits not by a power of ten but exponentially. A massive miscalculation in my favor. In other words, I took a big risk, and it paid off huge, better than my wildest dreams. I have enough money to do just about anything forever. I like the great outdoors, hiking, fishing, and cultural events in New York.
I am heading north on a trail and being that I do this a lot, I am in fantastic shape. I'm tall, athletic, and strong from hard work. I walk at a fast pace, which means I pass everything on the trail. When I see people in front of me, I speed up. I want to know who the people are. That helps me determine if I want to share a campsite with them or not. If they are cool, I gauge how far they will walk and have a camp set up and waiting for them. If I don't like them, I walk much faster and never see them again.
Out here, most people are friendly. I get to enjoy an evening with strangers and learn about them and what they do. That keeps it interesting for me, I like people. Everyone is unique and sees the world differently.
I see a group ahead, I speed up. Oh my, it's all women, college-age. I don't see any adults with them. What the hell are they doing out here alone? Between animals, other groups of men, and aggressive men who have been away from civilization too long, that just isn't safe. I doubt they have the experience to stay safe. I may have to shadow them for their own good if they don't want my help. I help the rangers out with stuff like this, so this isn't my first time. It is the first time for an all-female college group. This shall be interesting. They can be elitist or just plain crazy, I need to be careful.
I quickly catch up to them. They seem very nervous with me coming from behind. They eventually stop. Each of them is holding a pocket knife. As I get closer, they see me better, and they start teasing their hair. I think I am average; women often believe otherwise. Honestly, I don't see it. There is no famous person I look like. Having said that, I have no trouble getting dates if I want one. I am cursed with women; this isn't the type of group I really want to spend time with. They scare the hell out of me.
I walk into their group, half are on one side of the trail, and half are on the opposite side. I walk in with my hands up. They can see I have no weapon and mean no harm.
I announce, "Just passing through. However, I have hiked thousands of miles in the Rockies, and I don't think I have ever seen a group of cute women like you out by themselves on the trails. Lots of things go wrong out here, animals are unpredictable, and there are too many unsavory men lurking around. Do you want any help?
Half say yes and half say no. Well, that helps make my decision easier. They are as a group, confused.
I continue, "This is my fourth time hiking this trail. I flew out for this week because the trees are turning colors. This is also the start of the rainy time of year, it will slow you down and everything gets harder, like starting a fire. I don't smell suntan lotion. You need to wear it even though you are under the trees a lot, you will burn. Did anyone bring some?"
Three girls did. I dig out my suntan lotion, and I hand it to the closest girl. Giving a gift earns trust.
I explain, "You all have had no sun this summer. I have a good tan and can live without. Worst that happens to me is a minor sunburn. You girls would be in a world of hurt. Would you like some advice?"
Many say yes.
I instruct them, "Take off your shoes and socks. I want to see your feet. You have been on the trail for three days based on your location, I bet you haven't done a foot check yet."
They all sit down. I check all the feet, and sure enough, two have blisters. One is bad.
I look up at the pretty blond, "You, my dear, are close to having a major problem."
The pretty blond scares me to death. This is my younger sister Phoebe, who I have been estranged from since she was 11. She had a friend who almost ruined my life. My parents sent me away to live with my grandparents. I haven't seen Phoebe or my parents since. I haven't even talked to Phoebe. Last time I saw her she was a tiny child. Now she is taller, heavier, has a massive rack of D cups with naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. The extra weight gives her lots of curves in all the right places. Only two others in the group are as cute. Why did she have to be my sister? Does she recognize me?
I can fix the blisters. I get stuff from my pack and perform the required first aid.
I explain, "Keep this baby powder and keep your feet dry. Your feet sweat, it's common. Ok, you need to lighten your load for a few days. Someone else will need to take some of your items, or you can carry my pack and I will carry yours."
Phebe laughs at me, "Your pack is twice the size of mine."
I help her up, I hand her my pack, she has a big 'O' on her face, her eyes light up.
Phoebe asks, "Why don't we all have packs like this?"
I chuckle, "You can't afford it. It's $20,000 worth of equipment. Much of it I had made for me from carbon-fiber. It's super light. As I said, I spend a lot of time out in the wilderness, and I have deep pockets for my hobbies."
Jane says, "We had a guide, but he had a heart attack. They life-flighted him out and left us on our own. This trip has been terrible since we started. Can we pay you to be our guide and get us home quick and safe?"
I sadly reply, "Sorry can't do that." They look sad. "I'm like an ambassador for the parks. I have helped dozens of groups. I don't accept money, I have enough. You look to be in college, you need your money far worse than I do. I'll help you. You'll make better time now, so let's get going so we can get you home. If the weather holds, we have three days of walking still. You're halfway, so you might as well finish. Besides, the view is awesome!"
That is how I end up walking in Montana with twenty beautiful college girls that I later call, 'The Twenty.'
