Ernie,
So far over 80% of those they have arrested are Mexicans running the dope line from down there to Washington. I go down and watch the tear the vehicles apart and they don't do it easy either. Big crow bars and saws and they really rip them to pieces. Three of the Mexicans got burned pretty bad in last Summers fires over toward Weaverville as they stayed behind in the canyon to try to protect their marijuana gardens. I believe that one of them died.
Jack cuts wood up in the mountains and he has turned in two of the jacked up vehicles he has seen going up those little rough fire roads and both times they found big marijuana gardens. Now they are telling people to not hike the canyons alone and to keep a sharp lookout if you do go hiking in them as the dopers are shooting at anyone, LEO or private citizen that gets close to one of their places. They have destroyed 5 marijuana fields and 3 meth labs in the past month and all were within 8 miles of Shasta Dam.
