Alright so I was reading about these huge rocks (some 700 lbs) in Death Valley that would move on their own. No one has seen them move but they somehow migrate from one spot to the other.  Your mission is to try and figure out why.  Start by thinking up some of your own theories, then move on to doing some research. Please list your ideas here first then look up the answers.  Below I have included an exert from an article that may explain more.  Good Luck!!

"One of the strangest occurrences that Dr. Bob has ever come across is the mysterious sliding boulders of Death Valley National Park, California. There are trails showing that boulders up to 705 pounds (320 kg) have moved large distances over flat terrain. No one has actually seen these boulders move.

One calm, summer morning, a boy was on his way back from school. When he walked into his house, he went straight for the kitchen to get something to eat. When he opened up his fridge door, he saw a mouse standing there innocently feasting on the cheese that the boy was going to put on his grilled cheese sandwich. When the mouse spotted the boy, he took off straight for his hole in the wall. The boy grabbed a broom and tried to hit the mouse, but it was zigzaging across the floor. When the boy finally got the mouse trapped in a corner, he raised the broom above his head ready to deliver a swift blow.  Just then the mouse scurried through his legs, across the room, and into his hole.  That night, the boy set up trail cameras to see where the mouse traveled on an daily basis. Everyday, for one week, he looked at the pictures, the and found where the mouse liked to go. He tied a piece of cheese to a string and threw the string around the corner of the wall. In a few minutes, the mouse had sniffed the cheese and was looking for it. When the mouse found the yummy morsal, it grabbed it in his paws. At the same time, the boy pulled the string and grabbed the mouse. The boy was about to kill the mouse when it started to speak.

I saw lots of crabs and Sea Lions.  I can't believe how close I was to wildlife.
