We will be moving from Olympia in Western Washington to Sacramento in
Northern California during the last week of September. We have a
variety of house plants that we are very fond of and would like to take
with us. It takes about 12 hours by car. We have a couple of Subaru
Foresters (mini SUVs) that we will be driving. The temperatures on the
way will be in the 80's and 90's. What steps should we take to ensure
that the plants survive the drive? Thanks for any advice or suggestions.


On a practical note, I drive between Oregon and California a few times
a year. Automobiles are given a pass at the inspection station,
routed on the highway rather through where they used to be inspected.
When we were inspected and I had plants, I'd keep the plants on the
seat beside me and show the inspector what I had, haven't had a
problem for years. Long ago it was different, almost everything was
confiscated.
