[UPDATE 12:13 p.m.:] Large Convoy Headed Out Briceland Thorn Road
Multiple reports this morning of a large convoy of law enforcement headed south on Hwy 101. One report of a “big convoy” headed west on Briceland Thorn Road.
An earlier reader reported seeing 15-20 vehicles.
We have also had one report of a helicopter in the Eel River Valley.
UPDATE 7:56 a.m.: One reader reported, a “huge convoy heading out Ettersburg road, Fish and game and…about 15-20 trucks.”
UPDATE 8:55 a.m.: A reader tells us law enforcement is in the 500 block of Huckleberry Lane in the Whitethorn area.
UPDATE 9:05 a.m.: Another reader said another branch of the law enforcement convoy headed out Dutyville Road roughly northeast of Ettersburg.
UPDATE 12:13 p.m.: A third reader saw a part of the convoy peel off at Myers Flat after 7 a.m. this morning. We have reports though none first hand that there is a convoy working at a property on Cathy Road.

The convoy is heading up ettersburg road. 15- 29 vehicles.
Good. Hope they make a kill.
A couple of my friends said they saw 40+ cars
Just gonna check your water meter
I read a report of a convoy up Cathey road????
read where?
Where are they?
500 block of huckleberry, is that the Bulgarian grow with the horrible razor wire fence that injures birds???
Such a bummer to see the pre abatement letters go out while yhe [edit] grows destroy the earth and the trafficked women they keep. They literally will put out a hit on any sheriff who busts them so the countys scared of them. Total BS. Let the thugs take over while you punish the long term elderly community members.
Our neighbors are very happy the sheriff/dtf et al is busting this place . And btw, The sheriff et al doesn’t look very afraid of them at all. LOL
I live in the neighborhood but I’m out of town where are they exactly? Dutyville Cathy or huckleberry Rd.?
All three.
Was my comment about the Humboldt County movie inappropriate?
Possibly you are just homophone impaired but your name appears to have a slur commonly directed at lesbians. I deleted the last and will delete all future similar names.
Whoops, go a head and delete. Sorry
No worries.
In all honesty the slur to which you refer is spelled “ dyke”. Have we come to the place where Even a correct reference insults SOMEONE? The finger in the DIKE refers to a fable of how someone saved their community by preventing a flood.
The person changed their name on their reply comment—which is why it wasn’t deleted.
Thanks Kim , if we don’t stand up for each other who will ?
The government
Isn’t this the Kopanov property that was targeted by the dudes who were caught at the airport as described in your article https://kymkemp.com/2019/04/13/millions-of-dollars-marijuana-and-a-kidnapping-scheme-get-trio-arrested-at-arcata-airport/ ….. just surmising ahead of the official announcment, scuse me if I am wrong.
my bad, the property seems to me to be the one that Kopanov was targeting as described in kym’s story and comments above
Why so much hate and racism? What happen to community…
Obama
I noticed that also…
Into a world of love and racial harmony where everyone worked side by side peacefully, a black man was elected president and then suddenly, every one in this country became racist and divided. If we could only go back to the days when women and black people were arrested for trying to vote, when gay people couldn’t marry, and the skies over L.A. were dark with smog.
was it obama or trump… i think trump paved the way for shameless racism
He made it ok to display racism with no shame again. A lot of his supporters probably think he’s a jerk but since he is sympathetic to their racism he gets a pass.
…Suddenly a under-dog white man with no political background becomes president and everyone in this country becomes racist and divided….
It always amazes me what people call an “under-dog”–poor self-reported billionaire, reality TV Star–Donald Trump.
And no, the US did not become racist because Donald Trump was elected president…Some felt freer to show their racism though.
There is still a great community here, it’s just that the rest of the world has found their way here with everything that comes with that. Don’t be afraid Just be loving and proactive
The razor wire was taken down three months ago, no birds injured. Organic farming with clover, buckwheat, and rye grass along with 36 apple trees. The women are happy with freedom and beautiful skills we do workshops and nurture one another. Stop the hate and meditate perhaps come back to reality and interaction with neighbors build a real sustainable community!
We already had that…
Interlopers have inserted themselves where they are not wanted.
And destroyed our community.
Our community doesn’t welcome everyone with open arms!
Nope!
That has not worked out well for us!
We already blamed the last newbies for everything wrong!
It’s the f’n Canadians, eh!
I only responded cause I loved the reference; I really have nothing useful to add.
Marc
You are bragging about 36 trees being planted after over 2000 fruit trees were ripped up just a couple years ago and countless firs cut down to bring more light to your massive greenhouses? Your razor wire fence looks like shit, and this place has always pumped out of the river during the driest parts of the season..you are not community driven, you are money driven..the people you bought the property from talked shit about every single one of thier neighbors, friends and community members..this isn’t the happy utopia you are pretending it to be..
Im sorry you feel this way. I was under the impression the trees were badly diseased. Anyway, I don’t think hate will be productive here. Let’s try to get along.
Do u have anything to corroborate these claims? As a person who is not 100% white but is partially Eastern European descent I take offense for these type of loose and faceless blasts. Immigrants face the worst racism in this county.
Yeah. I’m part Irish descendent! I take great offense to blatant loose and faceless blast of racism. Immigrates face the worst racism in this country!
lol, what fer, they welcome to come out to my properties I could use that chipper and headcount. Help with start’in next year’s soil. Thought we already warned everyone about doin an illegal DEP scene in the hills during winter, not smart. Down south though you can blow up the indoor. Noobs, these are the ones they are gonna give cannabis tax money, to help em cause now they are criminals and have sacrificed in the war on drugs, GTFO!!!
There’s a black and white helicopter doing large laps at top of Crooked Prairie-Dutyville area. Gotta say glad it’s not a fire chopper.
Yea I see, I know some good people out that way.
Is it the same farm that had a fire last year on dutyville? Scanner didn’t specify location.
That fire was actually on Crooked Prairie Road and no it was not that property.
On Flightradar24 a CHP chopper is circling the area.
[Edit] bust, good riddance.
Was chopper maybe assisting in search for Adam? Circled Clark’s Butte early ranch area ….
There was just a CHP officer (without a vehicle) and 4 large, tinted window, pickups sitting at the pavement of Dutyville rd.
Good news, bring it on. Keep chopping, and destroying the mega illegal growers. These are not farmers, these are growers.
Cannabis is legal.
And Epstein didn’t kill himself.
And Estelle Fennell is taking care of mom and pops from the goodness of her heart
Don’t blame me I voted for Bud.
Me too. Mr Rodgers neighborhood
Can’t believe Kym let your name pass.
Kym should have a rate the abatement were commenters rate the abatement with a 1 trough 10 rating in how significant the abatement. 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest rating in size of grow , environmental degradation, and level criminal activity and sophistication .
Enforcement all year round. No rest for the wicked. Where’s the enforcement of all the permitted farms that are selling their product on the black market?
Im just wondering if southern Humboldt is more targeted than northern or are busts just not as widely reported? There are mega grows in all parts but so hum seems to get the brunt of the attention. Between abatements, raids, and letters it seems like so much attention is directed in so hum. It is showing in all parts of the southern Humboldt community and while mega growers gotta go, smaller homestead farmers are a big part of this community.
lol, we grow better weed, it hurts the shitty growers who back Estelle and Rex. “Uncle Rex, Auntie Estelle, I can’t sell any of my cannabis cause those bad people in the hills keep taking our customers away.”
Here is LA tryin to be like Kym but fails, lol.

Curious if there is a common thread.
Running lights in the wintertime, explain the heavy night drone activity?
DFW water environmental violation?
Same owner of properties?
Out of state shipment traced back?
Violent crime?
Its an odd late season, heavy manpower push, thats for sure.
And pure speculation from my viewpoint
Legion of Eastern Europeans
I don’t know the area but I’d bank hard on it being a scene where they’re running a monster genie to light up multiple GHs. Doing this while already being on the sheriff’s and DFW’s “long term plan” from blowing it up earlier in the season and previous seasons. Probably signs too of processing going on, on site, for that extra little bonus that for sure gets you’re gate busted open while the convoy rolls in.
Gonna be a shitty Thanksgiving ,for the bulgies
I doubt it, they’ve been blowing it up and making bank for years. One bust is nothing.
Exactly! They will just go back to living on a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea eating fresh fish laughing about how long they got away with it. They pull down multimillion dollar harvests every year and we’re pulling down a 1000 lbs when others were hoping for a 100lb pull. You can’t stop this. The only way to stop it is to have affordable safe access nation/worldwide. That’s the easy solution to stooping the traditional market. But that would mean common sense would have to win…
It was three busts. Someone forgot there monthly payment to ms fennel.
Put your head down and get back to work.
Its the obvious abuse of laws that nails you to a court docket.
Keep it on the DL and dont make an obvious nuisance of yourself.
We ave had 4-100′ hoop houses 22 years running off showers pass road and 4 in Larabee Valley for 13 years w no issues . Don’t be greedy. Pay respect to your neighbors and save for the rainy days.
My take after visiting for almost a decade. This includes rv travel nationwide and home base in the mid west. The anger and vitriol in this rural region is the same throughout this country. Fully a third are paranoid and scared and Donny makes them feel better. It won’t go away, here forever.
The rest are tired of the battle, and 2018 was just a hint for 2020. The one third know 2016 was a miracle, so the fear is surfacing in these comments.
But its a bit different in Humboldt. The community has lost its identity with legalization. Lots of anxiety not knowing what’s next. Time will heal that issue, but for now lots of emotion.
