Today I Went For A Nice Hike
...this morning in the rain with my hubby and my greyhound, on the Oregon coast up to a lighthouse (the park is called Devil's Elbow and is breathtaking).
Looking down from the little lawn area by the lighthouse, you can see the ocean far below. And there were dozens and DOZENS of sea lions playing in the water below. It was awesome. I've come here for many years, and there are sea lions in the surf once in a great while, but this was just unbelievable...endless sea lion riding the surf and jumping in unison, just diggin' the day. It was pretty awesome. :)

It's a zebra snuggie. It might bring predators.

If you like hiking then come to Scotland.
I haven't seen anywhere as beautiful as Loch Lomond and the surrounding area. Lots of places to walk in that part of the country. The west highlands are excellent for walking too.

Also, is this hiking thing a code like hiking in the Appalachians?

But I'd be wary of a place called Devil's Elbow. That's a horror movie waiting to happen!

Out on the Oregon Coast they have caves that sea lions inhabit that have been made into popular tourist attractions. I think Sea Lions like the attention, which is probably why they keep coming back, well that and there really nice caves.

Devil's Elbow is it? I'll look it up, I have a cousin in Portland, perhaps we'll take a trip out, she loves to go hiking.

Hmm being me
I have to be negative and mention that sea lions have become something of a nuisance. Apparently they are pretty destructive, at least in parts of California.
Don't know if that's true in Seattle though. |

They can be destructive.
But this is just rocks and surf, nothing for them to cause problems with. It's inhabited areas they have problems with.

I was in California one year during pupping season. That was pretty darn adorable.
And why didn't Static go? He could have herded all of those sea lions right in order.
