Yes but it's asphalt not tar and ponds not pits ... all sorts of creatures got trapped in the black stuff up to 38,000 years ago.
Noel Thomas38,000 years ago did they evolve sufficiently to realise it was not very smart to go into the black stuff?

Drove across the desert to get from LA to Phoenix ... hot and dry.

Amazed at how many wind farms there are. It seems that although the US politicians are mostly in denial about climate change at least the Californians are getting on with it!

A large sprawling city of 1.5 million people. Very hot (45+) in the summer and very dry - you can feel yourself desiccating as you walk along! Fortunately it was only in the upper 30s for us.

Look carefully at the first picture, Native Americans lived here long ago half way up the cliff. How did they do it? All will be revealed in the following pictures and comments

Went for a walk around "old town" Flagstaff (founded 1876) and captured some lovely images of the town. Height above sea level 7000 feet; population 70,320 plus us two.

Sadly all the river has been diverted to provide Flagstaff with water so the habitat is changing.

Very true but what about the Astronaut figure and American flag on the bottom right????
Noel ThomasAs I recall, the ejecta flanks of the Barringer crater have been used for astronaut training and equipment tests, since Project Apollo in the 1960’s. Due to the geological composition of the crater it has provided an ideal site for exploration tests, including sampling and drilling using hand held tools, including the coring drill.
