Anyone ever come across...

Moonshine! In my area there are tons of people who make moonshine and sell it secretly. I guess they have to make it somewhere but never thought about where that might be. lol

I've come across weed plants many times myself while hiking. Nothing illegal though. I guess I could've called the cops anyway and had them arrest the earth for possession with intent. LOL

There was an older lady who went for a walk in the woods a few years back, she found this plant growing in a bucket and brought it home with her, she later found out what she had brought home was marijuana. She was mortified. It's not uncommon to find that sort of thing growing in the woods where I live.

While out geocaching, my friend came across a very nice compound bow and some equipment. Obviously someone was poaching in the local preserve and hid all his gear there. Around here, getting caught even having that stuff in your vehicle on Forest Preserve property can get you arrested. I've seen folks fined for carrying out deer antlers they have found while hiking. Being a stand up guy who believes in upholding the local laws. He simply moved everything to another location and marked it on his GPS. Later he posted what he had found and the coords to the equipment. Somebody ended up going out there and snagging it up.

Yeah, when you smell the sour mash and see a plume of smoke rising out of the woods, your best bet is to walk away. I rode up on one a long time ago on my mountain bike. I'd guess I was within a third of a mile. I made a ninety degree turn and rode off.

Vermont's Long Trail tends to draw in the stoneys. It's not uncommon to stay at a shelter with a couple of people who smoke. It doesn't bother me. I would rather stay with someone who is stoned than a person who is drunk. Last October I did a 25 mile stretch on the LT and could smell weed the whole trip. It came from these two guys who were backpacking the same section and were ahead of me. I eventually passed them and arrived at the shelter I stayed at. This older gent was already there with a fire started and he asked if I smoked. I asked why and he said he found some weed that was pre rolled. I declined it but when the other two guys arrived they gladly took the old mans gift.

A few stills here and there, a few pot fields... evidence of poaching, which really browns my toast...

The green stuff isn't as big an issue where I am, the stuff will grow rogue here.
