Crashed Drug Plane Led to Unexpected Jackpot for Yosemite Climbers

BOOMER power!

Featured 12/10/2021 in Wow

In 1977, a cargo plane carrying a large stash of weed from Colombia crashed into Lake Mercer at Yosemite National Park. This is the story of the lucky climbers who found it.

These guys are lucky they pulled this off just a few years before the "Just Say No" campaign that could have ruined everything.

Crap.

But yeah I heard the story years back-they abandoned the camping gear & stuffed the sleeping bags as full as they could carry.

Hard & dark buds-crappy flavor "meh" effects.
