Convoy Headed Up Titlow Hill Road

Convoy on Vista Point at Berry Summit

Convoy on Vista Point at Berry Summit this morning. [Photo slightly contrasted and cropped from image provided by a reader.]


A twelve to fifteen vehicle Humboldt County Sheriff’s convoy with a wood chipper was seen parked on Vista Point at Berry Summit this morning before 8 a.m. Another reader reports that he saw the same convoy later on Titlow Hill Road near Forest Service Route 1 before the top of Horse Mountain.

As the convoy included a wood chipper which is most often used in this context to dispose of large amounts of marijuana, we surmise that some growers will face an unexpected harvest today.

Kym,

I don’t understand why you report these convoys. Particularly now, since they’re only going after illegal grows, not legal ones. Which means you’re potentially alerting criminals to an impending raid. And not your mom and pop growers (they’re too small to bother with these days), but bad actors, the ones destroying the environment and using violence to out in mega grows.

You claim you’re just reporting the news. Fine, then report it after the raid is over. Otherwise you’re just alerting criminals that the law is on the way. How can you justify that?

Yeah right … it’s sad that so many of you are so easily entertained by the weed update of the day. There is more to life than marijuana. The sooner the real farmers take over and Humboldt moves on from it’s infatuation with drugs the better.

Why don’t you find your news else where? Or just don’t click on the convoy post. Real simple.

Marijuana is life and we are the original “real growers” of the plant. Quit hating cuz a good handful of growers will be grinding it out a lot longer than u think in humboldt.

Muggin’, really, are you being ironic or does this really not seem newsworthy to you? Pot involves a huge part of the economy, it is an issue that is in a huge state of flux, nobody seems to really know what is going on. When a public agency takes a stand like this, it really is news around here. Hmm, I really like to use the word really!

There are many people here who’s lives don’t revolve around marijuana and don’t give a crap about where the convoy is headed this week. There are grows all over the place and busts going down all the time. None of them are changing anything noteworthy and aren’t anything that’s not going to happen again and again and again very soon with no net impact on the bigger picture. Same old story, insert new date and location. We get tired of the play by play weed reports because it reminds us of the depressing fact that so many people here are completely consumed by the drug culture instead of contributing something positive or healthy to society. Let me know when the national guard comes in [edit]or when we free the weed just like every other harmless plant and it finally stops being something for morons to obsess over all day every day. That would be news. A few cops with a chipper, not so much…

You take the time to write all that out. I don’t understand you people against Kyms post. If you see in the title “convoy” don’t click on it… and damn sure don’t take 10 mins out of your day to type up paragraphs on how you don’t appreciate her writing about it. Move along people. Keep up the good work kym. Lots of people enjoy reading about it. Thanks

I watch ESPN for sports news. I don’t follow soccer but they do show soccer highlights because some people are interested in seeing them. Instead of writing angry letters to ESPN telling them I don’t care about soccer I simply don’t pay attention to those highlights and somehow find something else in the world interesting to me when soccer highlights are on. Pretty crazy strategy but it just might work for you with the convoy news thing. Try it

@mogtx +2!

I am becoming convinced these idiot contrarians constantly attacking Kym are simply trolls not worth her time (or ours). I wish there was some way to eliminate the ugly comments whose only function is to make a troll happy [in their otherwise pathetic life].

I vote for deletion of any comment attacking Kym 🙂 The rest of us are fair game.

Thank you for reporting what is going on in the Willow Creek community watershed. It’s so important to weed out the illegal grows that are happening.
I have no problem with legal grows that are regulated and follow good farming practices and pay fees and taxes.
These illegal grows have the potential to effect the watershed of Willow Creek and the drinking water of over 2,000 residents.
Thank you again for letting growers know that the County will be after the careless and selfish…

EFF is a permitted water quality issue for the people of willow creek , you think a decommissioned contaminated mill site /junk car lot is any better? Taxes or not get real about wastewater discharge , permitting farms that were not pre existing, water source… visibility to public etc.

Salmon safe ???

Why are they chipping the cannibis when folks who have cancer could really use it in a good way. It has been proven to benefit those who are ill.

Over the years in this county there have been numerous accusations of cannabis eradication officers cutting fuel lines on diesel storage tanks, while conducting private property grow raids, and letting the diesel fuel empty onto the ground, sometimes hundreds of gallons. I don’t know that it’s true, but I believe it. All that being said do you really think officers give a fuck about sending pressure treated lumber through the chipper?

most of the ASTs are gravity feed to the genie and when the HCSO takes the genie they cut the feed line and let it bleed onto the ground until someone else notices it and wraps it or until it empties out onto the ground. it is literally illegal and the County would be liable if one could prove it.

And supposedly they have gone as far as to attempt to cite property owners and slam them with huge environmental fines. Not sure if that’s true or not but I believe it. Dirty Coppers!
