https://gripped.com/profiles/yosemite-drug-plane-crash-earned-climbers-thousands/ Stumbled across this story on Red Bull tv. Tldr: Plane full of drugs crashed in Yosemite. Climbers found it and took all the weed. There was much rejoicing.
So, you're a hippie rock climber camping out in Yosemite and word comes in about a plane with a few tons of wacky weed on it... What's your move?
As there should have been. When God blesses you, the least you can do is show your appreciation with a great big DUUUUUUDE!
Yeah, this is old news....... But I like the quote from the forest service guy: "We underestimated the entrepreneurial spirit of certain members of the community,”. Uh, yeah. Pot head climbers gonna do what they do my man.
I worked in the Yosemite high country 1969-70 during summers in college, in remote hike-in tourist camps. Great environment for climbers, of course, and oddly enough, cowboys since they ran a lot of tourists in on horses. Anyway, we were basically paid minimum wage and we all had nothing. Oh man, if a plane full of valuable dope fell out of the sky then, there would have been some big changes in lifestyle for us poor dudes. I can only imagine how these guys actually reacted.
Huge lifestyle changes - you'd all have been in jail for distribution since none of you would have had a clue about moving that kind of weight
OH DUDES.. This topic brings to mind a utterly, outstanding movie. It's a MUST SEE DRAMA. For those if you whom have seen it, no explanation required. "A SIMPLE PLAN" It stars ,Billy Bob Thornton, Bill Button,Bridget Fonda and others... JUST A GREAT FILM...ON THIS VERY SUBJECT!!
