I agree with the 'looney' description of California, having lived here over 30 years, the last 10 with ferrets. I would disagree with a previous poster on one thing. I don't think it is too smart to drive through an Agricultural Inspection station. You never know when you might meet a hard nose. There is a web site which give instructions for driving around these stations. I have used the directions twice with complete success. Unfortunately, I can't remember the site. Can anyone help?
