i was once told that la lobera was a pretty cool spot to check out to break out a long drive.
Yesterday as i was driving back to the border i decided to take the turn for la lobera and check it out. came to a Y in the road and both the left
and right looked very well traveled. No sign to point which road to take. I followed the road to the left, that followed some power lines, till i
got to a sizable downhill section that was a little sketchy looking for my subaru outback so i decided not to check it out. was that the right road?
i went back and took the other road and came up to the top of a hill and it looked a loooong ways down to the coast so i opted just to head back home
sooner then later.
I guess i am wondering which way at the Y. and how long of a drive is it out to the hole? I would love to check it out but i am also not looking to
add an hour or two to a drive that needs no extension.
Thanks!

Follow the power lines (left)... it's only 3 miles from hwy. The Outback can do more than that!

Back when I had a 2002 Outback wagon, I took the power poles line. i made it both ways OK, but had to air down on the soft sand.

Just to see what you may have missed seeing... from VivaBaja.com...

LA LOBERA (Sea Lion Crater)
Actually a huge sea cave with a sky light! The unmarked good road leaves Hwy. 1 at Km. 47.5
(6 miles north of El Rosario's Pemex station), and goes 3 miles to the parking area next to the rope-fence surrounded 'crater'.
Oct., 2005:
6 miles north of El Rosario, a dirt road goes west 1/2 mile, then south 2 1/2 more miles to this giant open roof sea cave/ crater where sea lions
(lobos) can be seen far below on their own private beach.
Apr., 2006:
Lobsters, abalone and other sea food will be grown in this man made pool at La Lobera.
Nov., 2006:
Six miles north of El Rosario (Km. 47 1/2) take the road along the power lines 3 miles to La Lobera, the sea lion crater.
