I don't think there are any tumbleweeds in Wyoming, try Texas.

Wyoming is a huge state, a long way across... can drive all day and still not
be into the next state, and Wyoming's population per sq mi. is the lowest in
the lower 48. Unless you're near Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons (even during
tourist season there aren't anything approching traffic jams except within the
parks) you're not going to encounter much traffic, if any, anywhere else except
for within the major cities. As low as it is Wyoming's bison population is
probably higher than for people... so maybe those were drunken bison hurtling
down the interstate....
