An excellent question. I wonder if we will see any answers? BTW, I don't think we have any tar pits in Oz.

We have recovered a great many pleistocene and forward remains from the tar pits, but not a single dinosaur.

Why not?

Steven, the tar pits are an amazing place, I do hope that you get to see them some time.

Oh, I should mention that they haven't found any sharks or whales from the "flood", either........

Oh! And I'd like to see Yellowstone National Park. There was a series on it on TV here in Oz and I found it captivating. Such a beautiful place and all the parts the showed had no evidence of man. I guess I'd better get there before the volcano I hear about erupts? ;)

Yeah, good luck getting to those bits. Don't get me wrong, I love the National Parks. But untouched they are not.

I am getting a new passport at the moment. Jeeze! It is such a pain in the bum and expensive too - $235. In plan to see my good mate Ron in Japan in May and then go to Singapore. I'd like to visit a couple of friends in Utah and an old friend in Maryland. Tar pits would be good to see. 

If you ever get a chance, check out the Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller.
