At first glance the camp looks like that of any other weekend wilderness warrior: a tarp under the shadiest tree in the grove, a pair of muddy boots left to dry out, a bag or two of pork rinds to snack on and some beans to bake on the campfire for dinner.

But beyond the humble campsite, Texas investiagators say they have uncovered a large-scale marijuana growing operation on a scale hard to imagine.

Approximately 100,197 plants from 29 fields worth an estimated $175 million have been inventoried by a multi-agency task force Monday off Old Highway 35 near Goodrich, about 70 miles north of Houston.

The site was discovered Saturday by a deer hunter who stumbled upon the massive pot plantation Saturday during a routine check of his hunting grounds.

One person has been taken in for questioning, according to Texas Parks and Widlife warden David Johnson. The montgomery County Police Reporter identifies the subject as Rene Carbajal Burrisqueta, 26, of Houston.

On Monday afternoon, Burrisqueta was charged with evading arrest and detention by the Polk County Sheriff's Office and placed on an Immigration and Naturalization Service detainer.
