Just cause I think it is a dying art. It looks like it was too much work for me. But here is a report from neighboring TN. http://news.tennesseeanytime.org/node/5672 THP Chopper Pilot Spots Marijuana that leads to Moonshine Still Released on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 - 10:46 am under Safety

NASHVILLE --- A Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter pilot, working with the Governor’s Task Force for Marijuana Eradication, spotted marijuana plants in an undisclosed location in Cocke County Tuesday, August 3, 2010. During the search and subsequent investigation of the property, investigators located an illegal Moonshine still operation.
THP Aviation Lieutenant Terry Botts located several marijuana plants near a barn and residence while conducting marijuana eradication in an area of Highway 160 and Highway 321. Members of the Tennessee Highway Patrol Special Operations unit, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), and the Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC) participated in the operation.
