Anyone else Google where you live, and find yourself struck with horror how obvious your super-stealthy grow is from the air? 
Google's spying on my grow

I'm not worried, but then again I don't live in the land of the free.
Just kidding, this is a global problem. We are all headed towards corporate control.
There is a reason internet-anonymity is slowly killed (think Wikileaks), as the internet is the single most important tool we have in a free society - and they DO NOT want that.
We ARE heading for facism, corporations are ALREADY running the USA, and soon the rest of the world.

Damn. Half of it looks like a checker board.

Yeah, it took a month to clear that area, and I got a little carried away with the first grow. Plus lots of other rookie mistakes. But my heart sank when I was looking at my house on Google, and off to the side I see THIS!

Yes, that's the highest resolution. It actually is stealthy, it's practically inaccessible from ground level, and it's surrounded on three sides by tall woods. But if you're straight overhead...
Thing is, the choppers fly directly over it all summer to get to a big piece of public land about a mile away. I mean right over it, then they do their lazy circles looking for illicit grows in the valley as I watch from my hill. They must be able to see this. Anyway, I'm going to make sure that this year I don't disturb any surrounding vegetation, any dirt I dig up is not going to be just tossed to the side. From above, everything will be green, just some spots will be greener than others. That bare dirt shows up like a Bat Signal.

I'm guessing you're legal, though. That looks nice.

do you have to clear large areas like that? there are way to many helicopters they will find them in my area easy.

I found this picture using Google. Bing had pictures that were three years older. Just try a few different search engines. The google picture above just happened to be from July of last year, so in a sense I was lucky with the timing.

No, if I were to do it again (clearing brush) I'd leave almost everything intact, reduce the height on the brambles immediately surrounding the plants so they'll have enough sunlight, but disrupt the surrounding vegetation as little as possible. And this year I'm growing just a few plants. Either I was really lucky last year, or it's true what some people say, that around here (NY) they won't bother a small grow on private property. I really don't want to push my luck.

The Sierras are so nice in the fall...
