San Joaquin

San Joaquin

Its customary use is as a billboard covered with screeds against Sacramento and Stockton for dumping their half treated sewage in the rivers, taking more and more water from Valley farmers to flush it to the sea, and by signs demanding that we oust our elected representatives and "Stop the Congress Created Dustbowl!" I find the abandoned wagon just as eloquent of drought and human misery without the signs as with them.
