(Nehalem, OR)  --  State parks officials are debunking rumors that a dead humpback whale that washed ashore at Nehalem State Park is going to be blown up.  Oregon State Parks says a social media post claiming that's the plan is wrong.  They're allowing the whale to decompose naturally, which is well underway.  The remains have what they describe is a horrible stench.  The area surrounding the whale is a snowy plover management area and the large crowds to see the whale are causing nests to fail.  In 1970, the Oregon Department of Transportation used explosives in a failed attempt to blow up a dead whale.  State parks says they won't be doing that this time.
