I'll be moving from Nebraska to California (3 days and nights on the road)

not sure this is feasible with such a long trip.

I'm driving a minivan and pulling a small cargo trailer, and will be
traveling with 4 dogs and 2 cats, my computer and my clothes, and hopefully
my "indoor garden".

It's hard enough that I have to leave my "outdoor garden", with
strawberries, tomatoes, numerous annuals and perennials, so I'm hoping I can
somehow manage the indoor plants for the move.

Has anyone had any success at moving houseplants a long distance? If so,
how did you do it?

They really do stop you at the border and make you surrender your plants
if they show any signs of stress, which they will if you have them cooped
