At least they weren't lost in a blizzard. That wouldn't have ended well.

There are mountains in New Jersey???

A successful vision quest then?

Came here to post this.

I'm guessing they were hallucinating before they got lost.

BKITU: He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory


"No, that's totally not about drugs...  (snert, guffaw, cough)"

So, they wanted to break the surly bonds of gravity and punch the face of God?

Heh.  But seriously, what a "mountain" in New Jersey may look like:

I'm not saying it was



but it was

Having been caught out in the wilderness overnight without water etc. I'm having a hard time envisioning 2 semi healthy adults going from lost to hallucinating in under 24 hours. Especially ones that would have stayed put after calling for help. Why would they leave the area where they called for help ?

You have already made the adult decision that you are lost and are going to call for help. The next thing you do is stay put. sitting and waiting isn't going to make your body need a tremendous amount of water. There is more to this story. I would bet they were hallucinating before they got lost on that trail.

How many times did he cry, "where's my Dad?"
A mile from a mall. 1 mile.
farktards will inherit the earth.

Looks like she was digging for those rocks with her bare hands. Eeesh...

in another story when they found the guy, he reportedly kept asking the rescuers, "am i in Newport Beach?"

biatch, do you see the ocean?  do you smell Spaghetti Bender?  Do you see boats sailing all around you?


/drugs are bad, mmmmkay?

That's why you do it in the desert.

The tents getting bigger, the tents getting bigger, the tents getting bigger
Its a Monster!!!!

/Nothing is obscure on Fark, right?

At least it was "hallucinating wildly" instead of "had a religious experience."

500 feet from Holy Jim trail, I bet at least 30 people a day mountain bike there.  And thats a low guess.  The trail head usually has at least a few cars parked there at any given daylight hour.

Hopefully this guy will do the world a favor, and get a vasectomy.

Absolutely everything about this story is hinky.

Yes

Cyclonic Cooking Action: 500 feet from Holy Jim trail, I bet at least 30 people a day mountain bike there.  And thats a low guess.  The trail head usually has at least a few cars parked there at any given daylight hour.

The Modjeska entrance? Mountain bikers go by my father-in-laws house all day. 30 is a very conservative number. Also, they make a lot more noise since the cougar attack.

And these two are why we should start charging for rescues.

That is my survival kit. I am missing a few things but I have the rest under control. also.

girl and a guy jump in the woods to fark each other while high on substances. get lost while high on substances. come down off substances and have no idea where they are. then they get rescued.

end of story

I think the guy probably got lost while looking for her vagina. that is how they were separated.

 Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the sky, and tell me what you see." Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars." Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life." And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."

I carry most of that but also a cyanide capsule in case I have to "take the Warrior's way out".....

sxacho: "I don't even know if we'll make it to the morning because we have no water."

And she began hallucinating on the first night ? Something is missing from this story.

bruegel: And these two are why we should start charging for rescues. issue firearms to SAR, and deputize them with the instruction to shoot people like this in the head, instead of rescuing them.  I'm not sure that I've ever heard a story of two people less deserving of rescue than these two.

abhorrent1: sxacho: "I don't even know if we'll make it to the morning because we have no water."

And she began hallucinating on the first night ? Something is missing from this story.

The only thing missing in the story is what drugs they took and when.

My guess is they took "too many shrooms" or acid. The hallucinations were pretty deep.

Next time you get lost in downtown Manhattan you'll be A. OK.
