[edit] Etymology of phrases "out in the tules," and "tule fog."

I found a reference to the phrase "out in the tules" on the page for Tulare Lake, a couple of days ago. I grew up in Hanford, California and have always heard and used this phrase, however, I do not know if it is a regional colloquial phrase, or if it has wider use. Today on a national radio program, I heard the phrase used by Rick Steves about travel in Greece.

Also, the same question about the phrase "tule fog." I used the phrase in conversation a few days ago and had to explain it to the listener. Which is how I ended up looking at the page for Tulare Lake in the first place. Anybody got some info on these phrases?Michael J Swassing 01:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
