SUMMARY:Exploding Whale Hike
DESCRIPTION:Take a hike this April Fools’ day to the site of the exploding whale near Florence. Our walk will also pass the location of a memorial noting the solemn and mysterious stranding of 41 Sperm Whales in 1979. Gray Whales will be migrating just off the coast so keep an eye open. Come prepared for sun\, rain\, wind\, or cool temperatures. Bring lunch and snacks. \nMeet at the Target (West 11th in Eugene) parking lot and drive to Florence. In Florence\, drive south over the 101 bridge and turn west on South Jetty Road for 2 miles making a right at the “Y” onto Sand Dunes Road. Park at the South Jetty Dog Ponds (alternate parking is an 1/8 miles back on the same side of the road) where we will set up a shuttle and drive north 5 miles to the South Jetty #7-Whale Memorial parking lot (pit bathrooms are available). We will be hiking up the jetty then south down the beach and back to the cars. \nIn 1970 a whale carcass near Florence became so foul smelling that local residents wanted it gone. An idea was hatched to use dynamite to blow the putrid mass into tiny little bits so scavengers would take care of the problem. …What could go wrong? The result was a massive explosion that blew chunks of blubber far into the sky and onto cars and observers up to a quarter of a mile away. A car suffered some significant damage. Fortunately\, no one was injured\, but many were covered in goo. A TV report of the incident is classic viewing on the web. The story has become a local legend and it is known internationally as just “the exploding whale.”

SUMMARY:Heckletooth Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Just outside of Oakridge this hike is a lovely forest trail to Heckletooth Mountain. There are some level areas and some steep climbs with switchbacks. The map shows the mileage as being shorter but when I did this hike with Mike Smith last fall he came up with the 11 miles.
