August 9, Tillamook




Ah ben ta 2 hog callin contest and a corn pickin contest but ah ain’t evr seen nuttin like this! WOW does this look like fun!!! We drove out to the dunes and it looked like an anthill that someone had kicked with all the ATV’s and dune buggy’s running around. We didn’t take our Jeep out on the sand because we needed a tall orange flag, plus a $10 permit, to drive out by the water. I’m also not too sure we have the right type of tires for the soft sand but we could let some air out. (how smart is that?) Another stop was the Munson Creek falls, the tallest waterfall on the Oregon coast at 319 feet; it is at the end of a steep canyon but it was worth the half-mile hike. The Tillamook Cheese factory was packed with people for a tour but the production lines weren’t running while we were there so didn’t get to see much. Their free samples however passed our taste test so we bought a couple of packages to take with us. Pacific City and Ocean Side are two neat towns on the coast with fabulous beaches that we perused. We found a nice spot in Ocean Side for supper before heading back to the RV.
