Ok in about half an hr or so, Im heading to Oregon to pick up some Ps. Hollywoods gonna hook it up and then some. 10-12 hr drive but no worries. Only thing I'm worried besides making the trip back home with the Ps alive is, the border check. Hope they wont have to stop me and check the trunk. The Ps are gonna be transported in a 50 gal container w/ battery air pumps. Wish me luck!!
Wish Me Luck

He got everything ready for me the night before, helped me find the closest hotel to his place, woke up early so I can follow him to his house before he went to work, and even loaded the fish in the container for me.
Bought 7-9" RBs (think got a breeding pair also). Transported them in a 50 gal container with 2 battery powered air pumps. Took 9 hrs back and fourth, overestimated the time of trip. Before the border, turned off the air pumps and hid the air lines. Had my homegirl drive, pretend I was sleeping, and border patrol just waved for us to pass.

Got home safe, and all Ps accounted for and already active in the tank.

Oregonians are nice folks. Never knew that it was a state law that you cannot pump your own gas and can get a tix for it. Flat land, rainy at times, and hella hitchikers. Still cant believe that I drove 1300+ miles close to the Oregon/Washington border just to p/u fish. But then again, it was all worth the trip when I look at my tank!!
