Default Anyone ever come across...

Has anyone ever come across anything illegal while hiking? I watched an episode of Weeds where this happened and it made me think that maybe this actually happens.

I still remember up in Long Island a group of friends and me were hiking. We came across a building in the middle of no where with two limos. Now we cannot say what they were doing, because we were too busy running in the other direction. But it was a strange thing to see.

Nothing illegal but odd yes. I know once as a teen in middle of a place that should be mostly all deserted we found cows. No idea who they belonged to, how they got there, and no where need a road. Very odd indeed.

Jason, I would have been running in the other direction myself it being a deserted area of Long Island with 2 limos!

I haven't ever come across anything illegal myself but it might be interesting.

It would be scarier if you were back and have seen neither the building nor the limos. I never saw any illegal things either and I feel grateful for that.

I've found some random weed plants growing. Didn't look deliberate. Most likely someone dropped some seeds while rolling a joint.

I would bet that most serious hikers have passed marijuana plants at some point in their lives, though they may overlook them. I've never come across anything while hiking. But I did find marijuana in a local field once. Kept my mouth shut about it!

I remember a movie that began that way. The characters didn't live long enough to talk about it on a message board.

LOL You make me afraid. I swear I never read this thread and the replies, I never replied it myself, I never visited this forum. I don't even now the URL. I know nothing!

Yeah, believe it or not, we found an honest to God moonshine still. We saw smoke and thought it was probably other hikers but when we got up close we saw a moonshine still. We took a circuitous route instead of going up and saying HI!

We didn't say anything about it either. We never went there again either.
