I think the number of people varied. When we first got there, I think only 5 or 6 people. Then several large families and groups stopped and it was more then 20. If we were patient, which we were not this day, then we could have had the road to ourselves.

Dec 27. Jason I really enjoy your photo adventures. They are peaceful and of course I love the views of nature. I had been to a tunnel along the ocean but it seemed different so maybe it was a different location. Your Mom would know the exact spot that I don't remember. We stayed at a hotel there for Jacob's graduation trip. Bonnie also took us to the Tillamook cheese factory. I enjoyed sampling the cheeses. I bought Tillamook butter the other day for wild rice soup ha!! Sam has grown like a weed and Jeannette is looking good. God Bless, Merry Christmas and a strong 2024. I'm quite sure when I think more about it, this is where it was. Ocean Side.

I like the out of town DMV idea, we've done a similar idea before but at the DMV in Bishop, CA. That is the hub city for a lot of the fishing locations in the Eastern Sierras and sometimes those small town DMV's save your life (especially compared to down here next to LA). Definitely want to stop by Tillamook now, have heard stories about the factory you went to from family that lives in Madras, OR. On both of my Oregon road trips, we cut off early towards Grants Pass on the way to Beaverton. Great video!

I think in the future I will have to consider the small town DMV as a future trend for me. If you ever get a chance, the Tillamook Cheese Factory (Creamery) is a wonderful visit - just like the whole Northern Oregon Coast. The Sierras on my list. I wish I didn't have such a busy day-job or I would start planning on a trip for this summer to the Sierras. I just may have to make it a priority.
