It's a little south of Tillamook and viable from the highway. I'm
pretty sure it was closed by the time you drove by anyway and the time
of day probably contributed to missing it.

I don't think the Tillamook cheese factory tour is all that special and
you have to pay for samples. I've heard there are some artisan cheese
makers further down the coast but I don't remember where they are. I
don't get to the cost very often these days or I would have checked them
out by now.

When I first went there I was hoping to see the Cyclo-crane. It was a
balloon based crane for logging. The design was dumb but I sold them a
mechanical disk brake from my old motorcycle shop. Anyway it was long
gone before I got there.

I knew the air museum was around Tillamook somewhere but I don't know how I missed seeing the blimp hangar. It was
probably around 8 pm and it may have been closed anyway? Too be honest, I thought the wife had had enough aviation
for the day and I wasn't about to push the issue after she told me I could order an RV kit. I wanted to go back
later in the week and take the wife through the cheese factory and also go to the air museum but it just wasn't meant
to be. I was trying to balance our wants and there was just too many choices. Like you say... next time.
