ryoder 1,382 #1 Posted June 16, 2020 Welcome to 'Exploding Whale Memorial Park' on the Oregon coast! The new park is named after the state's decision to blow up a 45-foot, 8-ton whale that washed ashore near Florence in November of 1970. https://katu.com/news/local/welcome-to-exploding-whale-memorial-park-in-florence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
