Years ago me and 6 other guys went hiking in the mountains of northern New Mexico, in the Taos area high above the ski resort area during the spring. We Decided to go all the way to the top, 14,000 ft. or so and spend the night.
We took along some locally grown magic mushrooms and plently of skunk bud. We should have thought how we were going to stay warm. Things started to go terribly bad after consuming mushrooms mid-way up the mountain and smoking way too much weed.
One of the guys finds and unexploded avalanche rocket used in the winter time to intentionally start an avalance. This rocket, about 16inches long was just laying on the ground all spring, undetonated. So while tripping and stoned Jerky gets the bright idea to have the 5 other guys hide behind a tree while he throws the rocket to set it off. Everyone put their fingers in their ears and closed their eyes. When he throws the rocket it breaks into three pieces, the tail/fin section, the nose cone and the main body explosive.
Nothing happened.
So one idiot gets the bright idea to set the main section on a rock and tells us to hide behind the trees while he shoots it with the pistol. (just a note, guns and shrooms=bad idea).
Well the guy I am standing next to picks up the nose cone which we didnt realize was actually the primer for the main body. It was just a piece of plastic nose cone. He fools around with it and nonchaulantly hucks it over his shoulder and when it hit the ground about 8 feet away, KA-BOOM!!! and I mean it was fucking loud. It blew a hole in the ground 3 ft. in diameter exposing some tree roots and sent an echo throughout the lower ski valley and knocked me and dude to the ground with the shock wave. I said "FUCK, imagine if that went off in your hands dude"!!
A few minutes after I got my senses together I was looking through binoculars and these 2 mercedes track vehicles start heading up the mountain because they heard the huge boom. So another idiot, not even caring that the authorities are on the way up sees a pheasant or a grouse.
As we start to run toward the mountain top he decides he wants to shoot it for dinner tonight. I said, "forget that dude lets get the hell outta here". So he grabs the pistol and right when he is pulling it up for aim it goes off and scatters a pile of leaves 6 inches from one of the guys feet already running up the hill. So I take the gun away from dumbshit and start to haul ass.
By this time it is almost dark and I noticed with the binoculars the track vehicles turned around cause we were up pretty high and it was very rocky and no roads that high up.
So by now I am tripping so heavily and with all the comotion kinda freaked out. One of the guys was about an 1/8 mile ahead of us and I was second, we were kinda spread out. So my best friend ahead of me makes it to a 10x10 survival cabin made of logs at the peak of the mountain and it was damn cold up there. So Jerky being the first one in the cabin decides to make a fire to pre-warm the cabin for the rest of us shortly behind.
One problem. Nothing to make a fire except a lighter for the ganga. He finds an old rusted can of propane left in the cabin from some else, it must have been 5 years old. So jerky bashes it on a sharp rock in the cabin and lets propane spray on the small pile of twigs. It sprayed and sprayed and sprayed until it completed fumigated the cabin.
Now you've got to imagine this through my eyes as I am second and the only one to see this up close and it is pitch dark now.
I am walking up to the cabin and I am about 50 feet away thinking "God, I can finally relax". When all of sudden KA-BOOM!! balls of flames shoot out all of the windows and door and jerky comes running out with his yellow rain gear on fire, his hair totally burnt, eyebrows and eyelashes completly burned off and yellow rain gear fused into the skin on both calf muscles.
When I saw this cabin blow I was like "holy shit"! So I ran up an put jerky out. I got him a hefty bag full of alpine snow to put on his legs for the night, and let me tell you what a long night that was listening to him moan for hours until daylight. We had to stay there the night there was no way in hell to get off that mountain in the dark and no way to get help. It was windy and cold and jerky blew the glass out of the windows. So Imagine six guys all huddled together shivering. And if you have ever eaten shrooms its not easy to go to sleep. I look at jerkys leg with a flashlight and it was turning funky colors of purple and black and red. Wasn't good.
Before heading back down the next day at the earliest light we decided it would be faster to take another route to avoid the authorities at the ski valley most likely waiting for us, and jerky was in alot of pain so we needed the shortest route possible.
So we unknowingly cross into sacred indian burial land on the way down. There were several skeletons with long grey hair laying on wooden platforms 15ft in the air in the aspen forrest. Now that was a creepy sight. Well it just so happen some local indians were on their way up there, saw us and fired their rifles into the air. Im like this has got to be the worst fucking nightmare I have ever been in this can't be happening.
They were yelling at us "Get off our land white man". Well the other dudes bolt and leave me with my toasted friend alone. So the Indians could see we had an accident and I was begging them not to shoot and I said we were lost. So they could see jerky was in bad shape and gave him and I a ride to the hospital. Other dudes had to finish walking 8 more miles, lol. Serves 'em right for leaving us.
At any rate we all managed to come off the mountain with all limbs entact. I can laugh about this now but it sure wasnt funny at the time let me tell ya.!!! All I wanted to do was to take a long hot shower and sleep in a warm bed..............for a couple of days!!!!!!! As for jerky he still has his scars which I kid him about many years later.
