You bet I made believe I didn't see it so I could get out of there at that point.

You don't want to be messing directly with drug cartels. -ca gal

car·tel (kär-tĕl')

1. A combination of independent business organizations formed to regulate production, pricing, and marketing of goods by the members.
2. An official agreement between governments at war, especially one concerning the exchange of prisoners.
3. A group of parties, factions, or nations united in a common cause; a bloc.

I figured I would let you know the actual meaning of the word, since you assume facts not in evidence, and don't seem to know what it means.

You indicated were on a private farm, and spotted a large mj field.

Alllllrrrrrriiiiiighty... everybody knows a pot farmer keeps his fields beside the road, where everyone can see them!

You are entertaining, if nothing else...

Big field of pot is obviously connected to criminal activity, a drug cartel, gang or similar deal. Not even a libertarian can smoke that much pot.

It was a rain forest bike ride through private roads and there were no public roads between the beginning of the trip and the end. It was a few hours long and we went at least 20 miles over dirt trails. It was all trails, private gates opened with keys and when I found what I did I walked 25 feet away from the trail at break time.

It was not by a public road, I would say it was at least a half mile in on private roads with at least one locked gate.

Had a triathlete riding with us, he fell, I did NOT! :-)
