Return cattle drive at Wassama









They drove the cattle to summer pasture last spring. Yesterday was the return cattle drive to winter pasture. Fun to watch. See the dogs that helped? One was a chihuahua. I guess you're as big as you feel.
Once a year, the third weekend in October, the Miwok people come to Wassama to host this event. Wonderful example of the Miwok culture which is now disappearing.
