Aww, Lucky, thank you for posting this!
When mum and I got to visit LA, we both wanted to visit the tarpits. Myself, for obvious reasons...

And my mum, for that
awful Volcano movie... ( which secretly I enjoyed also....

) The day we got to visit with lovely Allegrita, those figures were actually in the middle of a re-paint. so I don't think I ever got to think of them as the real things they were portraying. Plus, we were too busy looking for our own seeps.

But I can understand how, going past them every day, you'd think of their story a little bit more deeply. The story told in this article is really interesting, and lends a certain perspective to what the park is portraying...
Thank you again for sharing.
