MOUNTAINS OF MARIJUANA
BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Deep in the Appalachian woods near the Knox-Bell
county line, Kentucky State Police Trooper Dewayne Holden's Humvee
belched smoke and roared as it struggled up what once was an old
logging trail.
As his three-truck convoy stopped at a clearing atop a 3,000-foot
ridge, Holden grabbed a machete and joined eight other armed troopers
and National Guardsmen, hiking toward a hill under some power lines.
Keeping an eye out for nail pits, pipe bombs and poison-snake booby
traps, they found fresh ATV tracks.
