Netarts OR

We hit the road again allowing Google Maps to determine our route to our final stop along the Oregon coast is Netarts Bay. You'd think we'd learn! Once again, Google does not stick to the wide, RV friendly highways. Instead, it takes the Beast along the scenic routes through quaint country villages whose townsfolk are probably wondering what the heck those crazy tourists in the RV are doing on those roads!

Netarts Bay Garden RV Resort will be our home base as we explore the Tillamook area. The RV sites are a little tight, and we have to try a couple before we find a level one that fits.




We weren't able to get a site with a view of the bay, but it's just a short walk away.











Cape Meares is at the southern tip of Tillamook Bay, and just north of Netarts Bay.

The Cape Meares Lighthouse is the first place we visit.












The weather's turned a bit drizzly, but it's what keeps the area so green.





The next day we go to the cape that lies south of Netarts, Cape Lookout. The Cape Trail takes you to the western point of Cape Lookout.






On the way home, we stop at Andersons View Point for a few pictures.




 
For dinner, we check out a place that someone recommended to Tom. It's called Roseanna's Cafe in Oceanside.


We had a nice dinner, but the most wonderful thing about dinner is the sunset afterwards.


Our last day in the area, we head north to Tillamook and Garibaldi. In Tillamook, our first stop is the Blue Heron French Cheese Company. It's an interesting little shop that has a huge amount of cheeses, jams, jellies, sauces, wines, etc., etc. with samples and tasting to help you decide (if you can).


We do make the obligatory stop at the Tillamook Creamery and tour through the facilities to see how cheese is processed before heading up to Garibaldi to try out Garibaldi Portside Bistro,


where we order some scrumptious food and Wendy enthusiastically chooses a burger that is larger than her head!
