The Oregon coast

We had intended to use our last 10 days to amble slowly down the Oregon coast which is lovely.  Not as spectacular as the Californian coast but nice nevertheless.  Circumstances have stymied this plan and we have had to rush back to California but here are some shots  of the Oregon coast.

Grey whales are often seen here and there were about three or four feeding in the area.  They are very difficult to capture on camera and this is the best we could do.

We visited the Tillamook Cheese factory which reminded us both of the Tilba Tilba cheese factory in NSW and of the numerous ones we had been to in Tasmania.  It takes 10 pounds (1.16 gallons) of milk to make one pound of Tillamook cheese.

It is appropriate that we pay due respect to one of our saviours on this trip, Walmart.  This chain allows RVs to park in their very large carparks overnight and many many travellers right through the US and Canada take advantage of this.  They of course do their grocery shopping at the stores and use restrooms.  The stores are generally open 24 hours and we are tremendously grateful.  It has saved us much money to stay in their carparks overnight in between state parks and forest campgrounds.
