 Talk about romantic. And, heart-warming! The now famous Frog Rock, at the intersection of Phelps & Hidden Cove roads, was created by two Bainbridge High School sweethearts on "Paint Night", back in about 1971.
Paint Night is an old tradition for graduating seniors, on Bainbrige Island. They go out and paint their first names and graduation year on the roads. Even back in 1971, the tradition was frowned upon, because moterists would drive over the wet paint, and the paint would slop up off their tires onto their cars.
So, creating Frog Rock was an extraordinarily creatative way (and a responsible way) to participate in Paint Night, without painting the roads. Painting the roads was not just frowned upon; it was, and is, illegal.
The best part of this story is that, a few years later, the young couple got married and they've been together all these years.
