We decided to leave our tent up so it could dry and then we drove back visited the beautiful Cape Meares lighthouse. We also saw an unusual old tree called “The Octopus Tree”, for obvious reasons. Our next stop was to Cape Lookout. We took the two and a half mile hike to the point and were not disappointed with the view. There are huge cliffs along the trail that fall straight into the water. By the time we got finished with this hike we were ready for a break and for some food. We made our way to the Tillamook Cheese factory. Watching the workers make cheese was boring enough but the cheese and fudge samples were great. The ice cream also hit the spot. We went back to camp, packed up quickly, and drove on to Portand to stay at Liz’s aunt and uncles house. They were super nice and hospitable to us plus they have a beautiful house and back yard. The real bed was much appreciated.
