Thirty or so years ago, a couple new guys showed up on the mountain to hunt elk. Nice guys, it was a son and dad from the central valley around Modesto, CA. The son was a DEA guy, or Federal Marshall, I can't remember which. We started talking and I said I bet you have some cool stories about running drugs, crime, etc. Yup. He told me about busting a drug dude in near Modesto who supposedly had hidden several barrels of money somewhere in the delta. Woulda been kind of a cool find.
I didn't watch 'Breaking Bad' until a couple years after it had run it's course. When I did, I saw that this same guy was a consultant for the show.
