I like to plant in areas that have been declared as wetland areas. where you have be kinda suicidal or slightly stoopid to visit "Or really tired of wasting money on bud". Areas plagued with man eating reptiles, poisonous snakes, spiders and thorny vines capable of slicing open skin that gently brushes against it. Some days I feel like Steve Irwin.
It sounds way worse than it really is and I always plant still expecting theft and capture just so I don't get to comfortable.
a week ago I spotted a homeless camp w/ two squatters way back in the thicket of an area I've been looking at since last year. They squatters didn't see or hear me, but I waited and watched them for a while to study the area. The area is 1000s of acres large and their trails don't come anywhere near the areas I will be visiting, but they stay near a potential goldmine of a water source. I have to choose to either walk an extra 1/4 mile with jerry cans or use the source that's very close to their camp. I'd like to sneak while their both away, drop and bury a pump, lines and wires to hook it up to a car battery w/ a solar trickle charger somewhere a bit further away. I watched these guys for a while and I kinda wonder if these guys are up to something a lot worse than just squatting and I'm not even sure of wanna know, but I do know I don't want these guys finding out what I'm up to.
I think I'll walk an extra 1/4 mile and hook up a pump leading to an area a bit closer to where I plan to set up a grow. In a perfect world for me I could befriend them and pay them in canned goods, booze and smokes to guard the area and water my plants.
Other than the squatters a way's away, the area seems prime. The squatters seem stay in their area and haven't traveled curiously around the area I plan on using, no trails besides the faint ones leading to a road from their camp. I can't believe I missed their trail for so long. The area generally seems untouched by man for the last ten years. I think staying well away from their area and staying extra quite will serve me well, but what a shame it is to have found such a prime water source and not be able to tap into it.
