Back in Malibu and all set up
The views are just as outstanding as when we were here last!
Since we had a day before the Cannonball riders arrived, we decided to do some additional sightseeing around LA. First stop - La Brea Tar Pits.
Page Museum at La Brea Tar Pit
Columbian Mammouth in the Tar Pit - you could see the gases bubbling up around her
Gases bubbling up - amazing that it's still doing it!
Pit 91 at La Brea Tar Pits
They're still finding fossils here - the colored flags in the pit indicate finds - I love it!
Asphalt bubble up out of the ground - amazing!
Zed's Tusk in the Fishbowl.
Zed is a Columbian Mammouth and is one of he biggest finds in Project 23.
His skeleton is 80% complete which is a rarity.
