Infested Boat Headed For Idaho

The Idaho State Department of Agriculture sent out an alert by e-mail to be on the lookout for a boat named “Hello” that was headed for Idaho covered in mussels. The boat was spied by a Utah doctor interested in the problem of zebra and quagga mussels that have infested Lake Mead and are at risk of spreading to Idaho. According to the e-mail, the vehicle was northbound on I-15 in northern Utah yesterday. It could have continued north on I-15 or switched to I-84 northbound at Tremonton, Utah, and officials fear it’s now in Idaho. Before it gets to any Idaho waterway, it needs to be decontaminated/Susan Drumheller, Idaho Conservation League. More here.

Question: Anyone having trouble getting the new $10 boat sticker to fight the quagga infestation?
