Report Details
This observation was NOT made at mile 46. It was a few miles up the road in the town of Port Orford at Dock Beach, the beach is directly next to the Port of Port Orford. I believe that it is on Mile 49. Found 100yd East of the DockWe were alerted to a washed up whale and immediately went to see for ourselves what the situation was. It turns out the whale has been dead for a long while, as the body has already gone through a bit of decomposition. We are assuming in washing up in this state. It was roughly 6' long and a juvenile. We were unable to determine the species. Whale was still observed on the beach this morning on 10-17-12
Conditions

It is AMAZING the amount of sand that has been removed (naturally) by scouring.
