1941 Dodge Truck

This is around a 1941 Dodge Truck. It was, at one time a "Tillamook Cheese Factory" truck that delivered dairy related products from the factory to outlets.

Obviously, it has been set out to pasture in Hood River, Oregon...which is a long ways from the Tillamook Cheese Factory!

Latimer Quilt and Textile Center

Yesterday,  March 15th I talked a little about the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center in Tillamook, Oregon. It's a cool place to visit even for the guys. Guys quilt, too you know!

Latimer feature contemporary and vintage quilts in their gallery but, there are also some impressive paper and textile displays. I'm going to call it Oregon Art at it's best!

There are some nice folks at Latimer Quilt and you should visit...it's an excellent and productive thing to do. And, if nothing else go on the "Quilt Trail" excursion, in and around Tillamook. Kind of like "Barn Stars" except they are "Quilts" painted on the side of barns and buildings.

Tillamook OR

From Lincoln City, on the Oregon Coast, my wife and I are on our way north to Tillamook...think cheese...think ice cream...think bunches of cows!

On the way to Tillamook, we stop in at Neskowin for lunch but, the place we want to eat at is closed. We then went further north to Pacific City and had pizza...real good pizza. I took one pouring down rain-in-your-face photo of the famous Haystack Rock (last shot here).

Pacific City is home of the famous "dory fleets" and some super great fishing in the Pacific Ocean and, the Nestucca Rivers...there are two: the Little and the Big Nestucca.

Finally, we are in Tillamook and the three pics of the river you see below are of the Wilson River... and, more good fishing.

This part of the river is next to a road in the country. I shot as I went along. One of the photos is of a "Quilt Barn"...fourth pic down. There are numerous such quilt barns in Tillamook. We will get into the quilting thing in a later post.

I converted all the photos here into HDR or High Dynamic Range Photography.

I put up some links at the end of the post on some books about Tillamook and Tillamook Cheese through Amazon.

Cape Meares Lighthouse



Cape Meares Lighthouse

Just west of Tillamook, Oregon is the Cape Meares Lighthouse. It was build in 1889 and named after Captain John Meares who was the first one to sail into Tillamook Bay.

If Tillamook, Oregon doesn't ring any bells...say "Cheese!"

It has the distinction of being the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. If you ever get to chance to visit, and see how far it is down to the water you will understand that it doesn't have to be real tall.
