We really enjoyed our stay at the RV Park in Tillamook. It was kitty-corner from the Tillamook Cheese Factory so we walked over there in the morning and had the tour. It is a very well run company and a real tourist mecca! Everything first class. Besides the cheese products, they make the very best ice cream so we sampled some before we left.
Next we went to the Tillamook Air Museum housed in one of two WWII blimp hangars built just after Pearl Harbor was attacked. The second hangar burned to the ground in a spectacular blaze in 1992. We saw these hangars in 1959 when we were here on our honeymoon. I took lots of pictures of the planes for Donny, our Air Cadet grandson. On our way east from Tillamook to Portland, we saw lots of fresh snow in the Cascade Mountains. Still waiting for spring!

We met up with my cousin, Dorothy, today. Her father, Alan Langfeldt, is my mother’s brother. We met once before in 1960 when we traveled through the northern states from Vancouver to Minneapolis but have not seen each other since. We parked Kingsley at the Lloyd Center in Portland and took free transportation downtown. Dorothy showed us around and treated us to a late lunch/happy hour at one of her favorite places. The three of us had such a great time. We were sorry to have to say goodbye. Thanks Dorothy for a lovely afternoon! Hope we can reciprocate real soon!
We ended up in Troutdale at the Walmart for the night….very comfortable!
