Tar Pits Are Real

January 4, 2006 at 9:19 AM | by markj | 0 Comments

Trinidad's Pitch Lake is a 95 acre lake of tar on the island's east coast.

Rastafarian tour guides will show you the ins and outs of the "giant parking lot".

The tar is over 350 feet deep and according to one visitor:

The Lake seemed to me more than anything to be like a large creature with no face, only arms and guts in which it slowly swallowed everything around it.

Sounds kinda like that Sarlacc Pit that swallowed Boba Fett.
