Reedsport to Tillamook

On June 2^nd we had a short 80-mile drive from Reedsport to Newport in the rain. We arrived at the Port of Newport Marina & RV Park a little after noon. We walked a few blocks to the Fishtails Café for lunch. Then we walked to and spent a couple of hours visiting the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The highlight of our stay in Newport was walking across the parking lot from our RV to the Rogue Brewery Pub, where we sampled several beers and enjoyed dinner.

 

 

We drove another short distance on June 3^rd from Newport to Tillamook. We overnighted at the Cape Lookout State Park, right on the beach south of Tillamook. We drove into Tillamook and toured the Tillamook County Creamery, where Tillamook cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products are made. We enjoyed the free cheese samples and each bought a scoop of Tillamook ice cream.

 

Tomorrow we go farther north up U.S. 101 to Astoria, before turning east towards I-5, then head north towards Seattle. We’ve got reservations for 2-nights at the Gig Harbor RV Resort. We plan to take the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle on Friday to do some sightseeing.
