The latest thing (well, actually, it has been common for several years) is water-born transfers. Several states have inspection stations where ALL watercraft must stop. There are several items they look for, Zebra Mussels being one of the most common that they do NOT want transferred from lake to lake. there are even in-state inspection requirements. I can not put my boat into Lake Elmo, then go to Dead Man's Basin Reservoir without thoroughly cleaning the boat!
There is also a growing concern about noxious weed seeds. I can see the day coming when all vehicles will have to go through a car wash with chassis spray before being allowed to cross state lines, maybe even county lines. As it is, any packer or hunter must have certified weed-seed-free hay when going into the back country with livestock!
You might as well get used to it, the firewood restrictions are just the beginning!
