That is weird! I do not understand how boulders could be stuck inside ice in a burning valley. Reminds me of something that could come out of Madeleine L'Engle's books.
This I agree is very awkward. I too do not understand how the boulders could be stuck, but I also do not understand why they were stuck in ice! I mean in Death Valley it only gets less than 2 inches (5 cm) of rain a year. Also when I read somewhere of how the tracks they made where similar i checked and they where. They are both squiggly and the they look alike. Although this article was kind of boring I enjoyed reading it a lot.
This ice theory makes sense. If you knew a lot about death valley, then you would know that it has really hot days and freezing cold nights. It could rain and take a year for a "shallow lake to form", and then it freezes on a cold night, and during the early morning the ice sheets break, move around a bit, and then melt. This was, in my opinion, the most interesting post on the blog all year!!!

This is so cool. I wonder what would happen if they used that science into something different, like a new kind of boat racing. I agree with howard that it would be next to impossible for the boulder to actually be frozen in ice in a valley that has average temperatures above 100F. But, it is still very plausible that this could happen, just not very often, because what are the chances of a rock getting frozen to a shallow lake, in the middle of a burning valley, and then having it move because of 35 mph winds.
Wow! How strange of such heavy boulders to slide such far distances! The rain theory does make sense, I agree, but still, how could they slide so far due to the weather?
This is a little weird to be happening, but it is really awesome! The theories that scientists are thinking about are pretty cool. There are some of the theories i did not understand, like the ice one. I never knew boulders would slide
I think this is a good blog entry. The ice theory makes sense, but how would it get so cold in there?
