Back in 1971, my neighbor and best friend, Paul, and I road our bicycles from Portland to Yosemite via the coast. We stopped in at the Sea Lion Caves and picked up bumper stickers to let fellow travelers know where we had been, but we didn’t actually take the 200′ elevator down into the caves. I’ve driven by there many times since then and finally decided to take the plunge on my last trip. Too late.
Just kidding, but you don’t get very close to the living sea lions, and it is pretty dark for photos – still, it’s interesting.
