A week ago I took a detour on the trail - that's like if one end of your street is closed and you have to go around a different way to get home. The detour was because somebody discovered a rare (endangered) mountain yellow-legged frog living on part of the trail. To protect the frog, they closed that part of the trail. I didn't see the frog, so I can't tell you what it looked like, can you find one online? This one might be a little tougher to find, good luck!
Also, lately I have been passing by a LOT of wind farms. A wind farm is a placd where GIANT fans are set up to be spun by the wind. This generates electricity for people to use. Have you seen a wind farm near you? Can you find pictures of one online?
The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that Google is investing $55M in wind farms in the Mojave Desert - that's likely part of what you're seeing.
Kids - what's the difference between desert and dessert?
