Geocache Description:

The infamous exploding whale of Florence. November 1970, The Oregon Highway Division not only had a whale of a problem on its hands, but a stinky whale of a problem--what to do with one 45 foot, 8 ton whale, dead on arrival on a beach near Florence.

Find this cache and discover the answer to these questions.

Day pass required in this area, can be purchased at the beginning of the road.

Lots of nice beaches to walk on, even if there are no whales in sight.

Congratulations to Sure--Loc for the FTF!
