A 9-1-1 call from two lost hikers reporting the death of a third hiker had a bizarre twist.
Two hikers called 911 to report a third member of their hiking party had died on Cascade Mountain in the town of Keene. A Forest Ranger immediately responded to the call. In the meantime, the hikers encountered the Cascade Summit Steward and said they were lost. The steward determined the hikers were in an altered mental state. The third member of their party called and was not injured. The responding Ranger determined the two hikers had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms. They were escorted to a waiting ambulance and New York State Police unit. The Ranger also escorted the third hiker back to their campsite.
