July 29-August 6
Washington, Oregon
- Left the hotel in Portland around 10 am via I-26W and drove to Tillamook. There, we toured the Tillamook Dairy - cheese being made right in front of our eyes! We saw lots of large patrons in line for free cheese samples. We decided on a bag of cheese curds. So tasty.
- Stopped at Fred Meyer for supplies ($51).
- Ate lunch at the Sea Shack in Wheeler, OR. Nick had grilled Tillamook provolone cheese and Brad had grilled halibut sandwich. Waitress told us about nearby camping. So we drove to Mohler Road and then took a dirt road to Cook Creek. Very private campsite on the creek. Mountain views and no one around for miles - perfect. We heard only 2 cars drive down the dirt road in 5 hours. Free camping. We picked a ton of blackberries - there were LOTS of bushes around. We built 2 dams on the creek (which we later learn is an illegal act).
- Dinner was wild salmon, veggie burgers, zucchini and onions. Beer of the Day: Fire Station #5, Brush Fire Summer Ale, Henry Weinhard's Hefeweizen
