The beach is very nice and stretches for miles. When the tide is out people are walking, jogging, and riding bikes. Here is a picture of the "Haystack"
and another of the Howells and Fords on the beach.
We set off one morning heading to the Evergreen Aviation Museum where the "Spruce Goose" now calls home. It's an amazing aircraft and almost impossible to photograph due to it's size.
There are many vintage aircraft on display. A Ford Tri-motor, a P-38, and dozens of others. One in particular got my attention the B-17.
One scene depicted in the artwork you can see displayed on easels in front of the plane gave one the true challenges that some crews encountered and survived.
The SR-71 spy plane was another historic aircraft
And finally, the museum complex also boasts a water park on the property with, as the highlite, is a 747 jetliner on the roof which is used as a waterslide!
We really enjoyed our visit, but we had one more place on our list for the day.
The Tillamook Cheese factory. I first experienced their product many years ago at a Costco in TX and thought is was great!
It's quite an operation to see at work.
Diane and I applied for a job delivering cheese. I failed the oral exam when I asked if the delivery ran could do a wheelstand! Can't understand their concern.
During the drive down the coast, I had spotted the Pacific Seafood restaurant. We finished off a great day with platters of superb fried oysters.
