Answer to What is This #1 (posted 08-16-2009):

Dale found these jelly-like egg sacs while wading around in the shallows of Bear Lake. They are either frog or salamander egg masses. They are like something from an alien planet! We could use the expertise of a good herpetologist to identify them further.

  1. Looks to be all metal? The rods throught the middle of the "bubbles" make me think of some sort of fledgling solar water heater. I say solar because the metal would heat up in the sun, (especially if it was black all along) and although it would not possibly provide anything more than luke warm water I personaly think anything is better than freezing water year round! Maybe the rods were heated and that is how the water was heated? Okay, tell me, how wrong am I? Go ahead.. make me feel silly! Sonya

  2. Ok - I'm going with some sort of radiator, or, just for kicks 'n grins, some sort of sifter/sieve thing?? If all else fails, I'm going with the heating manifold X3000 for the alien starship Qumquat. - Megan

  3. Chuckle... you are both wrong. For a small fee I can give you the answer, but then Callae will kill me. I expect to get the next blogs to post vial priority mail about 4 days after they leave Northport (they are due there sometime around 8/18-8/23.) So you can check back then for answer (or send me a bribe).

  4. I can offer freshly made strawberry rubarb jam as a bribe! Still it is more fun to wait for the answer.
    Glad to see that I am not the only one to put myself out there with a guess. Thanks Megan.
