Did someone say cheese and ice cream? The goal today is to ride to Tillamook so we can stop and tour the cheese factory in Tillamook. But it was a long day. More riding along the Oregon coast with crazy drivers, many hills, fantastic scenery and too few towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a couple memorable stretches where on one long uphill climb later in the day a RV was following us as well as a pickup truck. They slowed behind us because of the steepness of the hill and an approaching corner on narrow roads. The RV driver was courteous and patient as was the driver of the pick up truck. But, one of the passengers in the pickup was obnoxious and rude and he couldn\u2019t resist yelling vulgarities out the window. It was ironic, but we were just saying that this had not happened in Oregon. The second memorable stretch was just a few miles further along the road where we traveled on a gravel logging road, with enormous potholes. There were a few trailers parked along the side of the road and it was hard to tell if homeless lived in the trailers or if they were unoccupied. After we got through this sketchy stretch of road it was a straight shot into Tillamook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
