Drive on the Coast.

We all caravanned down the coast towards Florence: for the general scenery, but more specifically to visit the "Sea Lion Caves", a privately-owned roadside attraction that opened in the 1930’s. This involved a elevator trip down through the rocky cliff to visit a huge grotto which is a “hauling-out” area for a large colony of sea lions. The view from the chain-link enclosed ledge was quite remarkable, and one might imagine that a large crowd would fix themselves there to study these remarkable creatures at some length - thus creating a serious traffic flow problem. However, nature itself has created a solution in anticipation of this potential snafu by sending up a horrific stench which pervades the entire cavern, forcing all but but the most ardent pinnaped lovers back to the elevators.
Good times.
