While we were in L.A. a few weeks ago I dragged Derek to the La Brea tarpits. I’ve had an awkward obsession with going there ever since I saw My Girl 2, so finally 16 years of yearning paid off. It was pretty neat actually, a lot of the area around the tar pits has been developed now, but it used to be acres and acres of tar, and animals would wander in thinking it was water, get stuck, and die.
They have tons of really neat fossils like saber tooth tigers, dire wolves and mammoths, and it’s pretty neat to see how it used to look in that area. It’s like seeing the pictures when Waikiki beach used to be farming fields.
The tar smelled pretty terrible, but other than that it was a really neat experience. They also let military in for free, so we didn’t even have to pay to get in.
