In a tragic turn of events, three hikers met their untimely demise when they accidentally plunged off a waterfall near the popular summer vacation destination of Lake Tahoe. The hikers, who were identified as Bob, Sally, and Joe, were said to be experienced outdoor enthusiasts, but apparently, their sense of direction was as good as a blindfolded squirrel in a maze.
Eyewitnesses reported that the trio had been taking selfies near the edge of the waterfall when they suddenly slipped and fell to their deaths. One witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “I heard Bob saying, ‘Hold my beer while I strike a pose!’ next thing I know, they were all tumbling down like a bunch of drunk lemmings.”
Local authorities are still investigating the incident, but one park ranger, Ranger Rick (not to be confused with the lovable cartoon character), had this to say, “This is a prime example of what happens when you mix alcohol, selfies, and gravity. It’s a deadly cocktail, folks.”
The news of the hikers’ tragic end has sent shockwaves through the tight-knit hiking community in the area. One fellow hiker, Jane, lamented, “I can’t believe they’re gone. Bob was always the life of the trail, Sally was the navigator, and Joe… well, Joe was just there for the free snacks.”
As the investigation continues, one thing is certain: the waterfall has become a cautionary tale for all who dare to venture too close to its edge. So remember, folks, when you’re out in nature, always stay on the trail, watch your step, and for the love of all that is holy, put down the dang selfie stick!
In the meantime, our thoughts go out to the families and loved ones of Bob, Sally, and Joe. May they rest in peace, and may their story serve as a warning to all those who think they’re invincible in the great outdoors.
