Authorities in eastern Idaho have busted a drug operation vauled at $20 million.

Investigators say they found roughly 6,750 marijuana plants about 13 miles east of Blackfoot in the Wolverine Canyon area near a Girl Scout camp.

Bingham County Sheriff Dave Johnson says it's one of the most significant drug busts in state history and one of the largest operations he has ever seen.

The investigation started last month after a hiker stumbled across the grow area. Investigators have been monitoring the operation using hidden surveillance cameras.

Johnson says there are no suspects in this case. He believes those responsible for the operation are heavily armed based on evidence from the surveillance video.

DAMN! Wish I could stumble across something like that.

that's not going to stop my idaho best prize is it?

He suspects girl scouts are heavily armed?

It's actually just the work of overly ambitious girl scouts trying to sell cookies. Authorities first grew suspicious when one troop reported selling more than 1 million boxes of thin mints in less than a week.

Some times there's a market...and other times you have to create demand.

whoa! those hikers are lucky no one was home at the time they "stumbled" on the area!

5 - I KNEW they were putting something in the thin mints! That would explain why I pay almost $5 for a single sleeve of Samoas over and over and over again....

It's certainly better than accosting people who are just trying to get into or out of the grocery store, no?

What a waste! If I still smoked weed, this story would have brought tears to my eyes...

Sounds like a potato farmer planted the wrong stuff. Innocent mistake.

#3 - that WAS your Idaho's best package. Sorry, dude.

Legalize it, regulate it, tax it.

Use the proceeds to go after the purveyors of meth/heroin.

law enforcement just started their local eradication--headline news...yawn
