As a regular follower, and occasional contributor, to the rv.net website, I often see questions regarding crossing the border into Canada or Mexico. Readers are constantly asking about things like crossing with pets, food, alcohol, tobacco or firearms. Rules are complicated and subject to interpretation so the answers given can vary.
Today, there was a question about crossing the border with ROCKS.
It came from a Canadian who is amassing a large collection of rocks and minerals while wintering in Arizona. Answers varied from “We’ve done it dozens of times with no problem.” to a post by a Canadian geologist with links to a list of forms required to import geological samples legally.
Not the most helpful, but the one I liked the best was the reply from a lady RVer named Francesca Knowles:
As a Citizen of the United States, I hereby vehemently object to your attempt to Make Canada Bigger (and the United States smaller!) by way of stealthily importing parts of my Country into yours.
Unless you send an equivalent mass/weight of Canadian Rocks down here immediately upon your Illegal Importation of United-Statesian-Rocks, you'll leave us no choice but to Declare War.
Don't make us come over there...again...
