Say Cheese!

Went on the cheese factory tour and did some cheese tasting. Guess how much milk Tillamook cheese factory goes through in a day? One million gallons a day, 7 days a week. Milk trucks deliver 24 hrs a day. Now whose the big cheese?

Also did some tasting of brie, mustards, jams, sausages and wine at the Blue Heron a mile further down the road. The Tillamook extra sharp cheddar was good but Mmmh, I loved the herb encrusted brie and the sweet beer mustard on sausage. Tracy also gave thumbs up to a few of the wines. (Course she also bought a half case and put it all in the same drawer so the next time I took a corner slam, crash, door goes flying out and breaks completely away from the rest of the coach, but we won’t talk about that since apparently it’s my fault. I must remember to take all turns for the next 6 months at least 10 mph under the posted limit, so my wife can jam pack every drawer and space available with lead if she wants.)

Heres’ some more pictures of kayaking we did up a slough in Tillamook area. I love these Hobie kayaks. The option to pedal or paddle comes in real handy on long tours. I think we will end up using them more than the bikes. We saw more river otter and some birds of prey including an eagle but unfortunately couldn’t get a picture of the eagle. Haven’t tried sailing or fishing from the kayak yet. Plenty of time to get to that. (well maybe not considering we have been gone 5 weeks and are still in Orygone).



This last one’s also technically a picture of kayaking. Rivers and Sloughs have cool rope swings. Darling, wonderful, graceful, Tracy thought it was cool too; until this happened. Did you know there is so much torque when pedaling a hobbie kayak one can actually tow the other? Found out it’s true.
