A wilderness overgrown with dope and danger

[Carvill John]

I see my previous Vineland-related post disappeared down a gap in the cattle

"I can't have my name or face showing up in any press," says a park ranger 
as he pulls a balaclava over his camouflaged face. "I have people gunning 
for me, and I'm going after their plants. One thousand plants is a million 
bucks."


"We have a lot of dope coming out of this mountain today," says Lieutenant

race against time. Who's going to get the dope off the mountain first, us or 
them?"
