We had a weekend off and the weather was cooperating. The visits pre cursor was the search for "squeaky cheese". Tillamook cheese cooperative, one of the larges in the NW has a huge processing located in the namesake town. Gilbert got his first glimpse of a cheese factory that we all looked at during Sesame street back in our own childhood.
After our shorter than normal "tour" we were at the free samples. As you munch on the curd it squeaks, hence the name. As we made our rounds of all the wonderful snacks and treats we could not forget our favorite NW candy. Salmon candy....yes that's right sweet smoked salmon with some brown sugar glaze.
Oh kids...step right up for your own special treat. After everyone went running we finally settled for the creamery's ice cream before heading out.
Once parked it's a 1/4 mile hike in the dunes to the sea. Attached are some great photos of the day. We got our run in towards the jetty and were able to recon what we noticed on the way there. It was the single set for turtle like tracks leading towards the dunes ended up being........ a seal. Yep, in the wild and 10 feet away. What a great day!
