Oregon Travel

Today another good day of sight-seeing; up a little late, but good breakfast @ the Shiloh Inn, then hit the road to tour:
a) the Tillamook Cheese Factory; very interesting and tasty exhibit!
b) the Blue Heron Cheese Factory, a French cheese factory.
Both of them use all the dairy products from the Tillamook Valley and watershed and they are great. Early pioneers tried to grow crops when the forests were cleared but too much rain. Cattle were perfect and they morphed into the dairy business and never looked back.
We then continued south and hugged the coast line, visiting a lighthouse and ended up in Newport, a neat little seaside village and bay wharf. Dungeness crab and fish stew: Yum.
