A dead whale washed up on the coast of Oregon in Warrenton only a few days ago. I’m not happy about the whale, but it turns out I had a trip to Seaside this weekend, and this was a massive opportunity that I couldn’t let go of. I just had to go and see it firsthand.
The little adventure was even more adventurous than I expected because I had to drive in the sand for about 3 miles (and then 3 miles back) to get where the whale was. I had never driven on a beach and wasn’t sure it was a good idea. But it all went well even though the tide started rising while I was there, and the car had its first bath in the ocean. Fortunately, it was only the tires.
