Narcotics agents destroyed 27,000 marijuana plants that were found growing at a state park in Sonoma County, authorities said today.
The plants were found in a remote area in the northwest corner of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Kenwood, the Sheriff's Department said. Agents from the county Narcotic Task Force, along with the Napa Special Investigation Bureau, had to be airlifted to the site for Tuesday's raid because the terrain was so rough.
Two campsites showed signs of hasty departures - when agents arrived, breakfast was half-eaten.
"The individuals also left burning candles on a makeshift altar, and had constructed a makeshift pit for their garbage," said sheriff's Detective Sgt. Chris Bertoli.
The pot growers apparently diverted water from a nearby spring to irrigate the marijuana plants. They sprinkled poison around the area that killed a number of squirrels and field mice, along with a red fox, Bertoli said.
The plants, which were a 18 inches to 2 feet, were destroyed in the field.
Agents raided a second operation later Tuesday on Mount St. Helena, where 7,000 plants were growing, the sheriff's office said.
No arrests were made in either raid.

One story was that a woman was on LSD and thought her infant was a turkey so she baked it in the oven. Now I look back and think thats hilarious, but at the time I guess it scared me.

I just wonder how they fucking do it in the first place. I live not far from there and the dirt is all clay, and rocky and hard to boot. In the summer its like a fucking rock. Do these guys just plow some hillside or valley bottom and throw in seeds or what?
I mean, I guess it's wine country and those grow very well right in the ground with a little fertilzer. Maybe pot plants too?

gorilla grows go on all the time un noticed. They are some of the most profitable grows, and that number of plants is not unusuall and not even that high. that was also probaly the number of plants before selective pulling to get rid of the males if it was still early in the season. and most dont plow some do til the dirt and all use added nute and ferts it is a timely process but well worth the work, not to mention running irragation lines for all the plants unless you want to camle back enough water to the site when the temps go up and rain is few and far inbetween. most spread there crops out with 25-100 plants in a plot so if some get found some should hopefuly escape to go on to budding. ive seen whole mountain side in rock city Ky covered in plants hidden through out the native shrubs.
