BARBOURVILLE, Ky -- Deep in the Appalachian woods, Kentucky State Police Trooper Dewayne Holden's Humvee struggled up what once was an old logging trail.



As his three-truck convoy stopped at a clearing atop a 3,000-foot ridge, Holden grabbed a machete and joined eight other armed troopers and National Guardsmen, hiking toward a hill under some power lines.



But the pot growers had beaten them to the prize: Gone were the 40 to 50 marijuana plants worth as much as $100,000 that Holden spotted from a helicopter more than a week earlier. Only six spindly plants and some fresh ATV tracks were left.
