Naturally, they don't creep like a hunting animal, but they do roll along in the wind. The ones I saw were much bigger than the one in your picture.

My experience may have been a random moment of surreal. I had to pull over to not run into any or get stuck with them.

This was twenty years ago crossing WY and may not happen anymore.

We should keep this one going for years as a legacy like the repukes all want to have.
You may not want this thread but its too late now .

on DU2, in fact I think there was another version of it here on DU3. Reminds me, I should go and look for it and make it do things...

Anyway, if my thread becomes actually of some consequence, well I might change my mind and want it back.
