Know the Origin of the Frog Boulder near Cherry?

Some creative landmarks dot the landscape around Yavapai County – the Hwy 89 frog, the SR 96 duck and the Date Creek skull. Each delicately painted boulder is visible roadside.

The latest landmark on our radar is this frog rock located near the ghost town of Cherry. Arizona Oddities reader Mary-Ann Johnson brought this artistic endeavor to our attention. It’s located near mile post 8 (in or around Cherry) heading toward Dewey-Humboldt on Hwy 169 from the I-17.

The frog appears to be on private land, but we really don’t know for sure. Does anyone else know who created this giant croaker and why?
