Well we did make it to Tillamook. Woke up early in the wee hours to the sound of water dripping.....a leak in a roof seam above my bed. Thankfully I was down at the other end, and didn't end up wet. Mikey climbed his way up the back of the dining table bench seat to get into bed with me. He was nice and warm, but just a big lump at the end of the bed. Took him for a long walk on another great beach, immediately across the road from the Spring Lake RV site. Broad sand beach, few people. Cold breeze blowing in, but soon warmed up as the sun hit the beach and I returned over the softer dunes back to the roadway. Stopped at the Tillamook factory. Love the squeaky cheese (curds). Also the fresh beef jerky. Don't stop to think about the source of these two items. Had an odds and ends kind of lunch in the parking lot in the RV, then moved on to pick up mineral spirits to clean the leaky seam line on the RV roof.

There's something about the lighting.......

Medium on the left, extra sharp on the right.......

Stopped at the Tillamook Air Museum and had a great time. Mom and Dad loved the old planes and reminiscing about the war. Check out the various pics I took.  

Boeing mini-Guppy	F4U Corsair
From Inside Bay B	Don't remember what this is....

While still in the parking lot, Dad got up on the RV roof and sealed the leak.  Now have settled in to a National Forest campground at Cape Perpetua. Starting to see some old growth forests with huge Sitka Spruce trees. $23(RV) + $5(single car) for the night, would have been half price for the RV if Dad could have found his Golden Access/Pass.....no cable tv, no street lights, no train whistles, only a full moon.

More pictures of the planes .

On to see the Oregon Dunes in the morning.

Back to Day 2 or on to Day 4
