The Great Tennessee Pot Cave - Pics & Video
...Everything for a secret marijuana cave....
THE GREAT TENNESSEE DRUG BUST In December 2005, Fred Strunk, Brian Gibson, and Greg Compton were arrested for their part in constructing and operating a secret marijuana farm in a cave under their house. Their pot farm was located on Dixon Springs Road in eastern Trousdale County, Tennessee. This area is about 40 miles northeast of Nashville. Trousdale County is not exactly a well-known center for criminal activity. Located in the hills of rural northern Tennessee, Trousdale is the smallest county in the state. This story seemed like an episode straight out of the Dukes of Hazzard - three super-smart rogues trying to outwit the hick country sheriff! However, this time it was the police who came away the winner. What the police discovered was nothing short of amazing. Operating on reports of suspicious activity, they raided a beautiful A-frame home built in the middle of nowhere. From the outside, the pot house looked like a beautiful vacation home out in the woods, but investigators quickly realized the exterior served as a prop designed to conceal the amazing pot farm below. There was a lot more going on in that house than met the eye. In an underground cavern located beneath the stylish A-frame home, the police found a sophisticated operation which grew as much as "100 pounds of marijuana every eight weeks". This secret high-tech underground cave seemed more likely to be part of a Hollywood drug movie too crazy to believe, except that in this case it was real. It is reported that they earned $6.8 million a year in sales of the marijuana. The growers got caught because the electric company noticed too much electricity was going to the house. Unfortunately, these people were caught and prosecuted and they seemed to "disappear" from the face of the earth. ------------- AND NOW THE PHOTOS:

Re: The Great Tennessee Pot Farm (With Pics)
The cave was already there in the middle of nowhere on his land so they built an A-frame house over it and grew pot. And it cost him over $750,000 to make (just the marijuana systems, hydraulic doors, lighting, etc) and it did not include the price of the house!

New Jersey-based cheesemaker Roth Kase recently bought the Tennessee Pot Cave from drug-enforcement authorities in an auction, shelling out $285,000 for the approximately 600 sq. ft. former marijuana factory.

Re: The Great Tennessee Pot Farm (With Pics)
What they should have done is take some of that cash and made a room for a Generator so they could have grown off the grid. This way no one would have know what was their. It would cast alot more money and take time for daily checking, but this would have been alot safer.
