Got stopped years ago going from Oregon to CA. The wife and I were on our Goldwing with a small cargo trailer in tow. They wanted to know if we had any fruits. I said yeah so they wanted us to pull over so they could look in our tiny Igloo type cooler that was in the trailer. Took about 5 mins. No biggie.
We been thru that same checkpoint too many times to count. All they want to know is if we have any fruit or ? stuff. We always do have limes. We always get told to keep going.
This year we went thru the checkpoint at the NV/CA border. They wanted to know if we had any firewood. It was stored in my truck box. I said yes we do. They wanted to know where from I said NV. Got told to keep going.
All these checkpoints are for is trying to keep bugs out of the vulnerable area. I don't see the big deal.
What has got me riled a few times is the Invasive Water Species check points. We sometime pack out kayaks on trips. They don't have any enclosed areas. Just a big open plastic shell.
There's checkpoints at rest areas and you're required to stop.
It could be twice in one day in the same state.
Really annoying especially when you don't plan on using the kayaks in that state. And if you do you still have to get inspected at the lake even after two inspections prior in the same state.
