Reminds me of the nails found on the JMT a couple of years back.

Dangerous Booby Traps on Popular Trail

Wannabe pot growers.

The mountains around here are filled with pot growers, the bad ones from the cartels according to DEA. My ex runs a unit for Riverside under the auspices of the DFG, and her people have run into fertilizers, camps, irrigation piping and more in the local mountains. DEA talked with them and told them that when they find things like that, pretend they don't see it and keep walking. Of course they like them to GPS the locations also :-)

So, I guess it's important for any of us to be careful of those things also, though the pot locations are usually a bit more remote.

There is so many pot growers in the mountains and I know of a guy who was followed by a car full of them after leaving riverside after hunting. But according to jerry brown your second ammendment rights and your right to open carry is nonsense , your life is not that important but dont worry every politician is packing some heat because they are so much more important.

I assumed that this was a story about wag bags on Mt.Whitney trail when I saw a title of this post.
