[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the Mariposa Sheriff website to see if there was any announcements. It led me to their Facebook page which has an interesting discussion thread. Locals talking about what possibly happened. Someone said there are illegal grows, and trip lines to protect them. If any of the family accidentally stepped on it, chemicals will spray on them. Not sure how true that is. Then this is waa sweet post by a realtor that helped Jon find his home. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4617475074943708&id=152897558068171&m_entstream_source=timeline&__tn__=%2As%2As-R[/quote] I saw that one of the posters there suggested the sheriff who has been investigating was taking kickbacks from the drug cartels! It seems quite outlandish to think the area is booby-trapped with trip wires that spray dangerous chemicals, particularly since this is a moderately well-traveled path in the cooler months. That would certainly explain why they’d want to close the park and all the nearby trails, though![/quote] I have a friend who was a census worker last year in northern CA. She definitely visited some growers and wrote a little bit relating some of her experiences. Basically, by sticking to established roads and announcing your presence, growers aren't going to bother you because they're not actually looking for trouble. Also not being law enforcement helps. Tripwires on a public access trail that is moderately trafficked in cooler weather doesn't make sense. Growers aren't interested in poisoning a troop of Boy Scouts or something. [/quote]
