Portland, OR -to- Oregon Coast, Bay City, Garibaldi, Barview Jetty, Rockaway Beach -to- Jantzen Beach, OR

Heading down the 99 to the 101 (Pacific Coast Highway) 
Scary bunny - eeks!

Branching out and trying some adventurous food at the "Wok Box"...fun to say and pretty good food.

Fall is here!

Getting ready to cross over the mountains on the way to "The Coast"









I will admit the Oregon Coast is stunning.....


Maxie says "brrrrrrr"

The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad


Cool sign....terrible restaurant

Garibaldi is a city in Tillamook County, OR.
The population was 779 at the 2010 census.  


Barview Jetty - amazing views and a foghorn that sounded 24/7 about every 90 seconds


Bird visitor at Barview Jetty Park

Yikes.  Don't turn your back on the ocean.

This quiet campground had a ton of really cool trails through the woods.

When in Tillamook be sure to visit the infamous cheese factory!




Can't see in great detail, but there are about 20 huge blackbirds attacking food this camper left outside.

Rainstorm in the distance


Picturesque seaside church

All things cheese at Tillamook Cheese Factory


Making cheese!

Cutting the cheese....blocks


10 pounds of milk to make 1 pound of Tillamook cheese!  Wow.















"Fresh meats, vegetables, and chutney"  Really, chutney??


 Beautiful moss-covered trees at Barview Jetty Park

Maxie got tired of walking....and cold....good thing Dad was there to carry him home!




Fog rolling in

Hover-round through a major intersection in Vancouver, WA

A major bike theft foiled when this sketchy character was noticed skulking through a campground in Jantzen Beach, OR.  Burglar detained, cops called, and perp hauled away to the clink.
