The remote hills and mountains stretching
across Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity counties serve as
the unofficial capital of marijuana cultivation in
California. As you might imagine, people who live there

agents. A community radio station in Humboldt County is
telling listeners about police and drug enforcement
operations. But the sheriff says the reports could be
tipping off drug cartels and endangering deputies. Reporter: Michael Montgomery
