July 12 - Tillamook factory


Mike and I delighted in following Rob and Ant while they followed our scavenger hunt through the campground and out to the beach. Mike had stashed some good digging tools there. We raced back to the camper to pack up before the storm hit. We are really good at this task now and were leaving the campground half and hour later. We drove through lots of rain and mist. Driving south to north on the 101 is not a good plan, as you have to cross oncoming traffic to get to all the coastal view spots. We missed many because of this. All we traveled north the road seemed to get more and more bumpy. The result of this is the bike rack started to rip the bumper of the back of the trailer. We are so lucky that the whole lots did not fall off onto the road. We visited the Tillamook cheese factory. I was not very impressed – there was almost nothing going on in the factory. Maybe it was just quiet because it was a Sunday. We did however buy some really good ice cream.
Our final campground in Oregon was at the mouth of the Columbia.
