Today was a drive farther north
and a stop at the Tillamook cheese factory.
This is a giant tourist trap along the Oregon 101 which was well worth
it. You can view the cheese making and
packaging, as well as sample, and then buy anything under the sky from
Tillamook. We went for an ice cream cone
and picked up some other items for the cooler.
One that I can’t wait to try is some Tillamook brie cheese. I have never seen it, and with my love affair
for brie, it will not be locked up for long.
The drive
“up the coast” has been a little strange.
I feel that the weather has been a little abnormal. What do you think about when someone mentions
the Oregon Coast? You know. RAIN.
Nope, none, nothing. The weather
has been a beautiful 70˚ and sunny during the day. We can not ask for anything more. The only weather that has hit us hard was in
the north Lake Tahoe area. And boy, it
was BAD! But now, it has been blue skies
and pleasant temps.
Now for
Katherine’s leg. We are starting to
think it might be a stress fracture. We
are hoping for the best, but the call has been out to our doctor friend Lori in
Portland. She has given us some advice,
and we will try it, but Katherine is almost immobile. I asked Eric, that we will see tomorrow, if
he had some crutches. Nope. Oh well.
Since he is always busted up and complaining, I thought he might have
some just laying around the house. We are
now at Nehalem Bay State Park relaxing in the sunshine, so maybe a couple more
days of rest will help her recuperate so we can run some more trail and our
thoughts of fractures will all just be silly paranoia of the past.
Tillamook cheese! *drool*
