LOVE CHEESE? Then Tillamook, Oregon should be on your bucket list! Last time visiting this cheesy place we found a tired packing plant and took the tour. This time….WOW! Obviously a great marketing company has been tapped to give this worthwhile stop in Oregon a brand new look! I purchased a few different white cheeses and will go to work on a tasty Mac & Cheese. With gray skies and rain, it’s the perfect comfort food!
I also took in the Blue Heron French Cheese Company and gave Oregon’s clam chowder another try. This version was thick and tasty but still light on the clams. A couple baguettes and some brie cheese made their way home with me and along with a glass of wine, dinner was…perfect! Blue Heron French Cheese Factory is a part of Harvest Host, an eclectic collection of overnight stops for RVers. For a small annual fee you can spend the night at some great wineries, food stops, breweries, family farms, etc. The expectation is that you will make a purchase and enjoy your overnight stop. You didn’t need to twist my arm here!
Our sweet campground was located in Netarts, with views of kayakers and sun-bathing seals, what a treat!
Our Oregon visit ended with a gracious invitation to Terri & Hal’s seaside home. This provided us an opportunity to catch up and enjoy the conversation while watching hang gliders descend onto the beach from over their cottage. We say farewell to the State of Oregon and know we’ll return to Jim’s home state
