This Fall we're heading back out west. COVID will be in our thoughts as we plan for adventures while we stay safe! Our plans are to head first to Colorado, then zip over to Utah. Lots of hiking and biking are planned along our route.

Here in Tillamook County, Oregon........

LAND OF CHEESE, TREES,
& OCEAN BREEZE 

We've spent time along the Oregon Coast, camping at Cape Lookout where we could hear the Pacific Ocean at night.  Great hikes along the cliffs and dunes.  

 From an original forecast of rain all week, the sun just wouldn't let the rains begin, so we were able to explore this Oregon coast.  
                                                                           


                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                        Professor Handel (who flew in for a week's visit with his wife, Joan) helped explain the plant life of this coastal area. Note photo of a Sea Palm, which grows only in very turbulent areas along the rocky shore.  [The slug is the picture on the right.]
 
While in Tillamook County, to keep our energy levels high, we toured the famous Tillamook Dairy and tested out their 38 flavors of ice cream.  We also tasted their many varieties of cheddar cheese!
 
 

          
To finish our time here, we checked out the local Laudromat, where you meet the most                 INTERESTING people.  Yes, our trip is not all touring........
