Tuesday morning we began a drive on side roads along Netarts Bay which lies between our campground and the Pacific, stopping to take pictures of the tranquil water. It was so peaceful looking and yet so awesome!!
Leaving the bay behind we came to sand dunes that were quite high along the highway. However, we did not know the half of it!! After climbing the dunes at roadside, we certainly did not expect the sand fields to go on for what looked like miles!!
We dawdled the time away to lunch and stopped at a little cafe' along Hwy 101 in Pacific City where we split the most delicious cheeseburger and fries!!
One of our goals for the day was to find Munson Creek Falls south of Tillamook.
We found the road back to the falls to be quite narrow. Hoping that we would not meet any oncoming traffic, we followed this Class C motor home. It was a beautiful wooded area.
You can see that we were not the only ones to see the falls. It is always nice to meet someone wanting to have their picture taken together. That way we can get them to reciprocate. The falls are 266 feet in height and quite beautiful. Not too bad a trek either!!
Then leaving the falls, we journey to the north side of town looking for Lattimer Quilt and Textile Center. Again we were trying to follow Freddy the GPS instructions. Not wise!! Finally with our nose leading, we found this remote location.
It was awesome and brought much of the research time to mind that we had done for our son, Victor's Eagle Scout project back in 1989. He restored a loom (which appeared to be just a pile of wood) that the Salem Historical Society had in their basement. The lady behind this counter could relate to Vic's project and wants some pictures, that we will get when back home. I will email them to here after I get them scanned into the computer. Her son had to do two projects before getting his Eagle. It seemed that something went array in paperwork not being signed properly and in the correct time line on the first project. So rather than buck the system, he suggested another project and learned his lesson to make sure that things are in order when working on something so important.
Stay tuned for day three along the northwest Oregon coast.
