Oregon Coast

Alas, 2010's New Old Time Chautauqua is over. But instead of returning to the real world, I've opted to let the fun and magic continue, albeit in a slightly different form. I'm currently enjoying all that the Oregon Coast has to offer, and believe me, it has lots.

The past 2 nights have been spent at Nehalem Falls campground, a small county park up Nehalem River that is exactly what we were looking for (after being hugely disappointed by the commercialness of Oregon State Park campgrounds).

During the day, entertainment has been found in the form of playing on the beach, exploring the quaint little towns, and visiting the Tillamook cheese factory....twice*. On the possible agenda for the rest of the time is sea lion caves, more beach time, and maybe, just maybe, another visit to the cheese factory.

This little vacay to the coast has been just what I needed to buffer re-entry into the real world. Back to back vacations is really the way to go. Dare I try back to back to back? Stay tuned to see.

Who wouldn't visit the Tillamook factory twice (or three times)? Have some cheese for me!

Roadside Attractions:
I gotta remember to stop by some of these someday. The Shoe Tree and Forbidden Gardens would be pretty neat.

Portland to Olympia Bus:
I've heard rumor of this being true for ages. Every attempt I've made online to track down schedules has failed. In this thread, someone lays out the options very clearly (about halfway down). I can't verify them via online schedules, but I'd be willing to give it a shot next time I try to make the Oly->Portland leg.
