    Another great video! I discovered you by accident from one of your Amazon Prime videos and I am hooked, man! lol I also really appreciate your music as I, too, am a musician. Tire tip for you, if it helps. The tire valve stems often times will just loosen up inside and often just need a few turns of the inside valve stem with a valve stem tool. Pick yourself up one at Walmart. They are super cheap and can save you many headaches. I have a couple of tires whose valve stems need a little tightening every so often and it works like a charm. BTW, I really enjoyed your trip to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. I have visited there many times since I grew up about 50 minutes East of Sandusky. I now live right near Lake Erie but it stays too cold up here for too long during the year. I think Miami, Fl is by far a better choice. Take care, Robert, and happy travels!

  • @bsschrenk
    @bsschrenk 5 років тому +1

    Hey Robert, the reason California has inspection stations to make sure we don’t get exotic pests that could devastate our agricultural industry. When people bring in fruit/vege/plants/animals they could bring in harmful pests that would force farmers to spray more to save their crops or disease that could make animals sick, etc. Don’t tell people that ca wants to take your lemons for the hell of it. Prevention is the safest form of pest control. Thanks for cooperating.

Last time I came across a turfed up area in the sand & thought OMG some one wrecked. They just wrapped up filming a movie called BENEATH THE DARKNESS. A stunt car was there & had an accident for the film. Also that's where they filmed THE HITCHER with Rutger Howard. Calico really is a lot of fun. I always like your vids. Thanks for sharing, drive safe. :)

      California is America's bread basket. There are a lot of bad assed no-seeums out there (like a certain kind of fruit fly) that can wreak havoc on the crops, thereby the food supply and the economy nationwide if allowed in. Trouble could come from anywhere---Mexico , or Arizona, or Florida. Sometimes its better to be vigilant than being nicey-at-the-border by a chamber of commerce or something welcoming committee. A state like say Nevada probably doesn't have a significant agriculture impact so they can wave everybody in. Pests from New Mexico can be just as deadly in CA as pests from Cambodia. To some drivers it may be a pain-in-the-ass, but I can understand what the state is trying to do.
      It should be noted if you have a lot of mud on your tires or car coming from Mexico you may have to wash it there at the crossing before proceeding. Most of the time though you just blow through. They took some of my grapes once. I bought them at a Safeway in Kingman, AZ but the bag said the fruit came from Chile. They let me keep my peaches however,----I don't know where they came from.
