The next stop was at Cannon Beach which is the home of the Haystack Rock. The sun shone a little bit and we did see a rainbow while on the beach.

Our next stop was at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. You are able to go up on the viewing level above were the employees are working. You get to see the cheese assembly line where the cheese is cut and packaged. We did get to taste ...

... the Jellyfish' because so many jellyfish were washing up on shore and people and animals were stepping on them and getting stung. We were probably prewarned about the jellyfish, but I am sure that went in one year and out the other. The first day there we saw all of the jellyfish and decided that we wanted to collect as many as we could over the week and take them home as ...

We got a room on the south beach.

A little bit slow this morning. We'd stayed at Midway RV resort park last night, which was small and lovely. The staff were very friendly, and when you walked into the office it was like you walking into somebody's lounge in their house. Extremely clean and we weren't in a hurry to go anywhere. Never-the-less we were on our way again by 10 ...

But, gads it was great. We found the barkers and stopped to watch them lolly gagging on the pier. I had never seen anything like it. What I would have given to be able to mix it up with those big boys! We know that isn't going to happen. We ...
