LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. I missed my turn on my way home from Presque Isle in 2022 and stumbled upon “On Golden Pond” by Chuck Benson and Bill Lechner. A few months later, I found Ami H.’s map and list of the frogs, which enabled me to intentionally find frogs on future trips to Erie.

LeapFrog! was a fundraiser in Erie, PA, in 2004. I found the frog above on a trip to Erie in 2012. Like some of Pittsburgh’s dinosaurs, I cannot match it to one of the original frogs in the official book.

In 2012, I experienced a narrow band of Erie along State Street from downtown to the waterfront. While walking around in this area looking for churches, I found some frogs. At the time, I did not make a note of the locations where I found them.

In 2023, I found that Ami H. maintains a list and map of the locations of the LeapFrog! frogs. I believe the frog that I found in 2012 is the one tagged on Ami’s map at the Children’s Museum. It has been repainted and become “Experience Frog.” (I still can’t find a match for it in the official LeapFrog! book.)
