While driving south today we witnessed one of nature's most majestic wonders - the great migration of the San Joaquin Valley Tumbleweeds. The vast herds on the western side of the valley were migrating en masse to the east side aided not in small part by a 40 mph tailwind.
However, as in all great migrations not every member safely competes the trip. Fording the wide I-5 took its toll on the herd. There were many casualties.
Tumbleweed scavengers will eat well tonight.

I've only seen tumbleweeds once, and that was in eastern Washington.
But years ago I named my motorcycle Tumbleweed--so I could say I rode into town on the morning/noon/evening tumbleweed.
