Alien extraction, happens all the time. Aliens need humans to do the work they won't do.

Hey. This happens all of the time and most people hide it. I was abducted at the age of 18 and they abused me sexually.

Kids have been disappearing into the hills to do acid and getting lost for as long as there have been kids and acid. These kids are no different.

So Chaz, are you saying it was an acid test?

And there is no such things as aliens, we are all from the same universe, just different planets and solar systems. And galaxies.


But thankfully, whatever the story, they have been found safe and alive.

what a trip, reading what the lost hikers experienced.

alien abduction or dehydration?

She said the last thing she remembers is fighting off an animal with Cendoya after darkness fell, but she does not recall how the two got separated or what she did between then and her rescue. She hallucinated she was being eaten by a python, she tried to eat rocks and dirt, and thought that tree twigs were straws from which she could suck water.

"I honestly didn't even know I was missing, I didn't know I was gone, I didn't know anything was going on," she said. "I just thought I was in a big dream."

Lol

The pair had picked the hike on the popular Holy Jim Trail almost at random after deciding they wanted to climb to a mountaintop to "touch the clouds," Jack said at a brief news conference.

Now that sounds like some killer drugs talking...

hey there say, kunlun_shan and all... not meaning to be mean, just
trying to understand:

oh my, i read some of the after-stuff in a few news follow-ups, and i've never heard anything LIKE this in my whole life--the part about
NOT even remembering that they were on a hike...

is this normal for dehydration? just curious...

i DO know that temporally yes, folks hallucinate, but
this is really strange, :(

and coming on so soon? was it the first day?? when they called?
or--perhaps i may not understand all this when i read it...


if any rescue workers have more light to shed on this,
thank you for any shares you can provide as to the
whole strange situation, :O

i remember a few other stories, of lost folks, being found, but this is so very different and seems so very strange...

important note:
i feel so bad for the deputy that got hurt...

seems everyone forgot about him :(... he had a head injury, i sure hope
this will not affect his long term recovery, as to life issues, in the
future... no updates, :(

prayers for him and his family...

They were on their first date apparently, just a warmup. Gotta wonder what they got planned for their next adventure.

It was revealed today in a local paper that in car the couple had driven to the trail head, law enforcement found half a gram of speed. This was found while the hikers were "lost." What do you want to bet the two had taken some speed, taken too much, and were paranoid, as speed can make a person, and were hiding from the searchers. The hikers said they had become delusional and were hallucinating. Yep! They're stoned!

I've hiked Holy Jim Canyon and it's not that complicated. A lot of people go into that area and the trails are well defined.

It will be interesting to see how this story plays out.

At least they saved some of the stash for the after party!

hey there say, oh my... good to hear a follow up on what was a really weird report, by those kids... oddly not matching the usual stories we have learned of from lost hikers... :O


very sad, if that was the case, being that it was 'human choice' and thus, here:

a man, part of the rescue folks, ends up with a head injury, trying to
just do his duty, and help... :(


i sure pray he will be okay... you never know how head injuries will
fare, not only at the moment, BUT--in the future, months and even years later, :(

I kept wondering "how could anyone get lost up there?" I've been up there at least 100 times.

Now it all makes sense.
