This is in response to the last poster yesterday. You said, >Reno through Tahoe to Truckee, for example, now has a large station >that you must drive through, no way around it. If you decide to take >the back roads around it, you run the risk of being stopped by local >police for not looking "local", certainly if you are driving a moving >truck. There is a way around the agricultural check point. A friend of mine from Kentucky moved this year to California. He brought two of his ferrets through Reno-Truckee. He did not want to go through the check point due to his Kentucky plates, so he went around through a residential area. It was only a 10 minute detour. And he had no trouble taking this route. (email me if you want info on this route) And a LOT of people have gone through the check point with their ferrets. I know a few who have and never been caught. Of course they had California plates, but I just wanted to point that out..Most people with California plates just get waved through the station. My dad commutes to Nevada from California (Reno-Truckee side)for work every other month and always gets waved through. [Posted in FML 7083]
