Angels Camp
Located in Calaveras County
Home of the Jumping Frog Jubilee. Also home of many pot heads and sex addicts. Mark Twain wrote a short story making this town famous. Every year this town hosts a small county fair. At the fair, people compete in a contest where they place a frog on a small green circle in the middle of a stage and try to scare the frog in anyway without touching them, to jump three times. After the third jump, the distance is measured from the center of the circle to where the frog ended on its third jump. The farthest jump that year gets a star plaque cemented into the sidewalk of downtown Angels Camp. Some people get so into it, they train frogs for months before the event.
