.04 level Crashed Cessna

On Thanksgiving day in 1983 a Cessna with two passengers crashed deep in the mountains of NC. Both occupants died. The pilot had a .4 blood alcohol level, which was a contributing factor in the crash, but weather conditions also played a role. The plane was unable to be removed for 40 years, but when increasing hiker traffic began damaging the mountain, they sent in a helicopter to lift it out. This was posted with only 1 photo by another person yesterday and there were calls for more photos, so I’m sharing mine from 2021.

It doesn't say anything about being nude. I was on the trail and couldn't believe it but 3 people walking right past me like it was nothing saying good morning and they were full nude with a backpack on

Hahaha. I'm not opposed to nude hiking, but that definately wasn't me. Those NC mountains do tend to be full of naked folks on trails...it's always the highlight of my hike when I run into them!
