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

(46,023 posts)A friend once pointed out The La Brea Tar Pits means The The Tar Tar Pits.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,525 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!
