Oregon Coast, Part 2

We are now in Long Beach, Washington, just across the river from Astoria, Oregon.  Our hotel is an ocean front hotel--just about 12 units.  It is very nice, near the walking trails, has free movies and games in the office, free bikes to rent for that ride along the beach, and good location.  Our room is beautiful, with a fireplace, jetted tub.  There was even a fresh rose and chocolates on the bed.

We traveled up through several Oregon coast communities.  Tillamook was one we just had to stop at to check out the cheese factory.  There were tons of people there, getting the free samples, buying ice cream and burgers at the cafe, and seeing how cheese is made.  Not a plug, but I still think Cache Valley cheese in Beaver and Gossners have better cheese. 

Tomorrow we travel back to Newport with a few stops along the way.  I've always wanted to see the Lewis and Clark historic sites here so that will be one of our stops.  We also saw a set of outlet stores so that will be another stop on the way back.  Then there was a fruit stand that had fresh artichokes just outside of Hemlock.  So we have plenty of things to see tomorrow. 

We found out our RV park in Newport does have Internet access, but charges for it.  So we may not be updating for a few days.
