Were you coming down off the Horse Heaven Hills? You may have passed through Bickleton, the Bluebird capitol of the world -- or so they say.clikrf8 said:We drove a gravel road down into Prosser, Washington and encountered rogue tumbleweeds last October. I was so bewildered that I failed to take photos. It was a winding steep gravel road where the tumbleweeds rolled down the steep hills.
Reminds me of that beginning part of that great old classic "Them (the giant radio active ants)"-ya know where they come upon that wrecked trailer out in the desert and the bent 30-30 rifle with all those tumble weeds blowing around and that weird music. Hey RONR-better not go to Mexico by way of Death Valley and the California Desert-never know, maybe they didn't kill all those ants and some are just waiting for someone to park their camper next to one of their giant ant hills !1980Keystone said:Sounds like one of the hapless events that perpetually befall Wile E.

Talk about a good classic, that movie gave me nightmares as a kid. And it is really PG compared to the stuff today.Smokecreek1 said:Reminds me of that beginning part of that great old classic "Them (the giant radio active ants)"-ya know where they come upon that wrecked trailer out in the desert and the bent 30-30 rifle with all those tumble weeds blowing around and that weird music.

We saw a minor car fire in Pahrump, when a tumbleweed lodge near hot exhaust.Kolockum said:I would run over tumbleweeds left and right when I was commuting along HWY 97 between Ellensburg and Yakima. I wouldn't try that with a wall of tumbleweeds.
Yes, we were looking for agates in the Horse Heaven area. Lots of agriculture but no agates near Prosser. We did find a few near Bickleton. Bickleton is a cute little community. We did find a memorial to a couple who brought the bluebirds back. Great places to explore around Bickleton although it is mainly private property.AWG_Pics said:Were you coming down off the Horse Heaven Hills?
