Redeemed Sunset Getaway, Hudson Valley, New York. July 12th, 2014. | |
Sunset Getaway: This cabin is abandonded. It is on private land but has not been inhabited for decades. The winners, Melissa Godoy Nieto and Amedeo Pace, also recieved a gift basket plus a car for transportation to and from the getaway location. | |
The getaway winners were asked to take photos of themselves enjoying thier all-inclusive getaway.
| |
These additional trespassers were caught on a hidden camera at the site, just 10 days before the getaway winners arrived. | |
And another curious interloper actually located, and attempted to remove the camera. |

Redeemed Canadian Dream Getaway, July 4th- 6th, 2015. | |
Canadian Getaway: John Strange won this getaway by default, and invited Meg Keo, who he had never met in person before, to join him in Quebec over the July 4th 2014 weekend. | |
The getaway package included a plane ticket to Montreal and a rental car for the weekend. John met Meg there and they drove to the Laurentians outside of Montreal to the getaway location, a guest house on a property that is never inhabited in the summer. | |

As it turned out, the two strangers got along swimmingly. | |
