Description: This is one of the better looking natural tar seeps at the McKittrick Oil Field, in California. Sometimes the surface is hard, but in hot weather, it is soft. People like to light the gas bubbles that come out of the seep. The seeps are visible on Google maps as dark areas south of the intersection of Highway 33 and Highway 58, in the western San Joaquin Valley.
