Fawk!! That's sad.

Wondering if he happened across an illegal grow operation or someone running one.

Just on the road, riding? Wouldn't this have turned up in their search for him?

Doubtful. The vast majority of those are in warehouses and residential houses. Not up on Mt Herman. Hard to say what happened until the investigation moves forward.

Perhaps a majority of them are in warehouses, but not all of them.

5 acre pot grow found in White River National Forest, complete with irrigation system dispensing chemicals to keep wildlife away. This was a big one, but there are lots more out there that aren't nearly as big that the growers will do anything to protect.

Yep they are certainly out there. However, knowing how the industry works (legal and illegal), I just can't see someone having a grow operation on Mt. Herman Rd. Too much traffic. So many better locations to host a grow op.

That said, it seems like a body was found this morning off the Greenland exit. Not too far from Mt. Herman.

Yes, I wondered about that as well.

He was supposedly riding trails. Not enough info to know where his body was found or if it appeared that he had been moved after he was killed. Given that he disappeared Thursday and wasn't found until Sunday, I suspect he was found on/near a trail, not on/near a road.

Wonder if this is in any way tied in with the screws and nails strewn on the big bike ride a week ago or so?
