San Andreas, CA…We had already posted that Marcia Thompson & “Morph” had taken the top stop but we thought we would pass along some random video clips and over 140 photos of the event. Jockeying our local mascots seems easy enough until you try it. On Tuesday it seemed to take a woman’s coaxing to get our green friends to leap. Some of the biggest guys in the crowd from the public works department barely got them to budge. There was one petite female whom shall remain nameless who not only scared her frog into movement but scared me as well. One has to assume from the harmless looking packaging on the outside that her bark must be worse than her bite…..
