“Would you care to elaborate on that claim? I live in the PNW, and I am not aware of anything like that. You said they have TAKEN over? Please elaborate.”
I don’t know how anyone could miss it. Even the media is finally covering it. Here are some links with photos of the cartel camps and other stories. The stories have all been posted on FR.
Just a few days ago: [snip]The largest garden was near Hayfork, in which 46,000 plants were found in a single garden, Vollmer said.
Forest service law enforcement officers also arrested one man, Gauldry Almonte-Hernandez, of Mexico who ran during a raid on July 9 near Hayfork, Vollmer said.
Solus said that his agents have arrested around 20 suspects in connection with the grows. Most the suspects were Mexican growers arrested on suspicion of federal drug trafficking charges, he said.

[snip]Last summer, rural residents of Siskiyou County, California.....800 miles from the border, heard groups of ‘spanish speaking’ people walking up and down the roads in the middle of the night, patrolling. The various cartels are here fighting each other over LAND...our national forests, to grow their weed. We are told not to go into the forests for our own safety.
One fire in California last summer, LaBrea, was set by these cartels, consumed 88,000 acres.

Pot farms ravaging park land - Mexican Drug Cartels in the US of A!
Federal officials believe as much as 80 percent of the marijuana on public land is grown by Mexican drug cartels that have turned to places like Point Reyes National Seashore, Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park and Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in this era of tightened border security; growing the drug here is far easier than smuggling it in. The plants found in Point Reyes last week were valued at around $50 million, Dell’Osso said.
The federal Office of National Drug Control policy estimates that growing 1 acre of marijuana damages 10 acres of land.

Illegal alien encampments
We live near Portland, OR and run into large immigrant camps out in the mountains of Mt Adams and Mt St Helens, especially near Indian Haven Wilderness.
It is obvious they are living there and not merely camping.
The Forest Service HAS to know they are there yet they seem to leave them be each season. My teenaged boys and their mama are well trained and armed, and we make sure cars that slow-by our site know we are not the type to be messed with.
