I love the name FrogsJumpUSA. It brings back so many wonderful memories. When I was a kid we lived in a rural area of farms, open fields and woods, with a lake very close by. I loved the freedom of the country and loved the lake. My brother and I salvaged an old sunken rowboat and fixed it by putting a lot of tar on the bottom (big mistake!), and painted it with paint we got free from one of the farmers. It still leaked like crazy, but I loved to go out in the very early summer mornings, sometimes hunting for frogs, but mostly just enjoying the quiet solitude of the water and the sounds of nature all around me. 

I had hoped to use a name for my Blog that every child could identify with. After all frogs can be found in every corner of this great country. 

However, I have also come to realize that the name everyone is familiar with is The Little Man In the Map. So to make it easier for parents to find this blog I am changing the name to The Little Man In the Map and FrogsJumpUSA. I will continue to talk about Frogs Jump USA as we talk about all the interesting things in this country. So the content will not change, but the name has. 

So to restate where FrogsJumpUSA is  -    By ponds and lakes, by streams and rivers; in forests, deserts, mountains and valleys; along country roads and bustling highways; near well-worn paths and lonely trials; in city parks - and in your own backyard. Anywhere in the USA.
