Highway 101 traffic backed up for miles yesterday as motorists traveling along the southern Santa Barbara coast stopped to look at the carcass of a 70-foot blue whale floating offshore.
Authorities have been tracking the southbound whale carcass floating through the Santa Barbara Channel for days. It was expected to wash up on a Ventura County beach as early as today.
Southbound motorists on Highway 101 stopped to look at the carcass as it drifted by late yesterday and traffic backed up for several miles.
