Cape Lookout, OR August 22 & 23

Hi friends and family, We drove along the Oregon Coast and what breathtaking views! We thought we would arrive at our next spot around lunch or before, but it took us hours longer because of the look-outs we just had to stop at. That was our next campground, Cape lookout. We are right on the beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We are wearing out the sand walking the beach. One of the highlights was our tour of the Tillamook Creamery. It is famous for their cheddar cheese, but the best part about it was the ice cream! Tim Duncan would have thought he died and went to heaven! They use 1 million gallons of milk a day to process their cheese and other cream products. Very interesting! After our tour, we went up to Cape Meares lighthouse. It is 120 years old, (almost as old as us), but last February 2 men shot out the windows and we couldn't take the tour. How devastating! The picture isn't posted yet, but we saw a large Sitka spruce tree that is shaped like an octopus. The base is 10 ft. at its base. It has no central trunk, which is uncommon for a spruce. How unique! We had a wonderful 2 days at this Cape and the last walk I had I found 2 perfect sand dollars! Love to all
