It was in '00.
I had my 25-plant garden about 1/4 mile from my house, on Sierra Pacific land. (Sierra Pacific is a timber company and is the 2nd largest private land owner in the U.S.)
One fine late summer afternoon I was sitting outside and I see a copter coming down the canyon. To my horror they stopped and hovered right next to my garden. Then they left.
I was SO SURE I was gona get busted I went down and unlocked the gate so they wouldn't have to tear it down, and called a friend to arrage bail.
I sat down and waiting for the cops to show up and bust my ass.
So now it's night. No cops. ***?
I call another guy I know and told him and he says "what color was the helicopter?"
"Blue and white" I tell him.
"Oh shit that's Sierra Pacific. They're just checking to see if anyone's logging their land. You didn't chop down any trees so don't worry, fire up a fat one."
Later I was told these guys see pot gardens all the time, many a lot bigger than mine.
So many in fact they don't even bother to report them unless they see you've cut down tree's on their land.
But bottom line, if they did report it the cops never came out.
