    Oh yes....😅.But it's worth the walk. Bones are still there.

      The skelet is hidden between the rocks and gravel, but still possible to find if you know the coördinates.

        It seems the whale is losing bones overtime - but it's still there :) humbling experience seeing these massive bones. Worth a short hike to see the remains.
