The Whirlwind Tour of Oregon


It's been a long first day that involved 3000 miles of flying and another 300 miles of driving around Oregon. We drove from Portland to the coast, traveling through the Tillamook State Forest and eventually reaching Tillamook, OR. From there, we straddled the Pacific Coast Byway (Rt 101) to Cannon Beach. We took in a few scenic overlooks and then put our feet into the Pacific at Cannon Beach. After a lovely dinner at the Driftwood in Cannon Beach (wild Pacific salmon was delish!), we made our way back toward Portland and rode along the Columbia River Gorge, stopping at the Vista House just in time to grab a few pics as the sun was setting. From there we reached Hood River for the first night's stay. Tomorrow... Mount Hood and then driving through Idaho with a planned stop for dinner in Boise!
