Fun fact: a friend of mine had a mastodon discovered on property that she owned.

(46,051 posts)A friend once pointed out The La Brea Tar Pits means The The Tar Tar Pits.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,648 posts)And your friend is quite right! I'd forgotten that Brea means tar pits. I do try to not use the word THE before the proper name!
