Got stopped for Zebra Muscles on the way home from Parker yesterday at Rice and Videl Junction Agriculture Check Point. There was a huge line for boats. They asked if I had the drain plug in, then wiped their hands under the hull and around the transom. I'm assuming it was for those little critters, they didn't tell me. Kind of a pain in the a**, but It wasn't a big deal.
Anyhone else get stopped??

I like to drive thru that inspection station with an entire Mango sticking out of my mouth.
Lmao...........I saw your boat when I was walking around the "upper" sandbar, but you were nowhere to be found?? Have a good weekend?

They stopped all boats at the check point on the way home from Havasu yesterday too.

I crack up when my wife gets all paranoid about one of us eating an apple as we approach it.
3 or 4 years of "No Inspection Today" has spoiled us all... :D:D

Thought they stopped for non-commercial traffic, coming in from I5 oregon think the sign even says that....

Now with the new threat of the Quagga mussels they've got renewed inspections, mainly for the boats. If you are just driving they ask where you were and wave you thru.
Vidal Junction is kinda in the middle of nowhere and is just a tiny little facility.
