July 30, 2010, Friday TILLAMOOK, OR

Well today we pulled up stakes in Newport and headed for Tillamook. It’s funny, it’s really foggy here (as you can see) but it’s actually quite a bit warmer. Yeah, back into short pants and flip flops! (That won’t last.) Highway 101 goes a little inland during the trip from Newport to Tillamook and the country side is so beautiful. Tons of livestock grazing in knee high grass and green everywhere. We’re staying at an RV campsite about 4 miles north of the city. After setting up and cleaning, etc, we headed for the Mears Lighthouse and the octopus tree. We think there were good views from the lighthouse, but it was too foggy to tell! The forest you walk through to and from the lighthouse is so pretty and so quiet! Then we went to this town that reminded us so much of Maine, it is called Oceanside. Foggy beach, quaint town it was like we were on the east coast. So pretty. Would like to stay here some summer for a month or so.
