Mark Twain's story about miners betting on the leaps of local amphibians has inspired the folks at the annual fair in Calaveras County (in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains) to hold a "Jumping Frog Jubilee." It takes place in May.
How far can the frogs fly? The record jump is 21 feet.
Justin Bookey made a funny documentary about the contest. That's Justin with one of the county frogs in the picture above.
