Tillamook and Yachats

 
 
 
 
 
 
On the final stretch of our vacation…and we didn't want to rush home. So we reserved a cabin at the Weasku Inn at Grants Pass making as many stops as possible along the way: Tillamook Cheese for ice cream and tater tots, Munson Falls (largest waterfall on the Oregon Coast), covered bridges, and a couple of beach stops for last-ditch agate hunting (a complete bust). It's embarassing to admit, but we did aim for Yachats and mid-Oregon coast due to the agates we heard on the beaches there, but the small fragments we found were infrequent, unpolished and uninteresting. On the postitive side, we discovered Highway 38 that followed the Umpqua River. Gorgeous.
