The Northern Blue Whale, actually more bluish-gray, is a mammoth mammal and sometimes seen along the coast of Northern California.

Try Wikipedia for an overview:

And for some cool pictures:

To find the Leaping Blue Letterbox head out to Highway 1 a couple miles south of the meeting of Highway 1 and Highway 116 on the Sonoma coast.

Exit and park at Shell Beach and take the Kortum Trail heading north. Keep your eyes peeled (whatever that’s supposed to mean) seaward for signs of the Northern Blue Whale. Walk, walk, walk in the direction of the dramatic rock outcroppings until you’ve crossed three wooden walkways. At the end of the third walkway on the ocean side check under the meeting of the bridge with the land, several inches in. There, if all continues right with the universe, you will find the little Leaping Blue Letterbox.

Thanks for coming, close everything up tightly against foul weather and please be discrete as lots of folks are sometimes on the trail.
