It doesn't make sense to put so much effort into something that will be quickly discovered. The entire area around here gets visited by people one way or the other and obviously, "grow sites decimate vegetation around springs, poison wildlife, and are dangerous for the public."
In Death Valley, rangers last week raided a pot growing operation with thousands of plants that were irrigated with an extensive hose system pulling water from a spring in Hanaupah Canyon. The operation was stumbled upon by some hikers who thought three men installing the watering system were working on a park project.
