A scenic hike in the Adirondacks took a wild turn last week after two New York men called in a dramatic 911 report claiming their friend had died on the trail. After discovering them, officials found out that the hikers were apparently high on psychedelic mushrooms and their lost friend was alive. According to the New York department of environmental conservation, forest rangers received the alarming distress call on May 24 near Cascade Mountain. The hikers breathlessly told that their friend had tragically died and that they, too, were hopelessly lost in the wilderness.Rangers quickly located the two callers and found them in what was described as “an altered mental state.” The “dead” hiker, meanwhile, was alive, well, and possibly wondering why his buddies hadn’t caught up. Not a funeral, just a fungi tripThe drama ended not with a solemn recovery, but with a confused reunion and an ambulance call, for the stoned duo, not their supposedly deceased friend. Medics were summoned not to revive the dead, but to handle two guys who had mistaken “tripping” for tragedy.
