yup crazy busted! we went into the bush off the main trail where my trail to the crop is at about sun down. now this place i have my suspicions that there is a few growers here we fine evidence of it every where starter pots, G.I. shovels broken, even water containers full of fresh water (that we took for the plants) now when we came out it was in the dark i figure no one would be out there a dark but as i approached the bush at the entrance of my trail were it meets with the main i see a dark low long figure stop in front of the bush right in front of me and stood still, now i thought it was a wild bore that was cruzing by and picked up our scent. then froze like they normally do to try and hide. but i couldn't tell if it was my imagination because i took a hit off that hijack. so i shook my keys a little thinking it would scare it off. (like it should normally) but it turned right at us and now i was thinking its going to rush us. then a bright spot light from a flash light turns on, now i'm thinking poachers and realize that it was a dog so i came out of the bush and this fucken guy keeps the light on me in my eyes like a good 8 seconds after i exited the bush then turns it off calls back his dogs and i told him i thought his dog was a pig and scared the shit out of me. he responded "he was wondering what you guys were doing in there" then asked "you guys hunters?" then we said nope hikers (i had slippers on, no shoes. to say yeah would be crazy he would know we were lying) i told him we got lost off the trail at about 4 then hiked across the valley off trail trying to fine the main trail (now it was about 7:30) i tell you what he didn't give a crap he just booked it out of there like he stole something walking like he was getting frequent flier miles. i just told the guy we were lost for 3 1/2 hours and it didn't even phase him!! first off who goes hiking with a flash light on them, and who goes hiking at night? he had to be a grower!!! i just hope he would do like we would, look and no touch. cut a bud off but don't take it all.
now what to do?? we just hiked all our soil for the next 13 that are going up there next and like 6 gal. of water do we continue and grower there or fine a new spot and move the plants in the late hours under dark??? i think just grow these out keep the clones in veg till ready and by then it should be almost ready for harvest if they don't get ripped by then maybe we got away. positive vibes help!
