a Bend Bulletin Article by John Gottberg Anderson
 From Neahkahnie Mountain to Cascade Head — 50 miles north-south from Manzanita to Neskowin and inland nearly 35 miles to the crest of the Oregon Coast Range — Tillamook County sprawls across a broad swath of coastal northwestern Oregon. Rivers like the Nehalem, Wilson and Nestucca drain the rain-drenched slopes of its forested summits. Where the terrain flattens into a coastal piedmont, these streams support a dairy industry that thrives in this damp Pacific climate.
The Tillamook Cheese Factory, which dominates the landscape on the north side of the little town of Tillamook, … it's only one aspect of a trip to this diverse county, which spreads around the second-largest estuary on the Oregon Coast.

 Put on a coat, don't forget the binoculars and grab a chunk of cheese — it's time for some serious bird watching on the Oregon Coast at Tillamook.
Of course you'll always find flocks of birds on the coast any time of the year, but in Tillamook Bay the best time is August through March.

 The Garibaldi Museum is nestled between the base of Captain Robert Gray Mountain and the Tillamook Bay in Garibaldi, Oregon. The museum is chartered to preserve the maritime heritage of the Pacific Northwest by collecting information concerning Captain Robert Gray and Captain Robert Gray's historical vessels, the Lady Washington and the Columbia Rediviva.
The museum displays the 18th century sailing world by telling the story of Captain Robert Gray and the trade with native Americans of the Pacific Northwest.
Among the museum displays are models of the Columbia and Lady Washington, an eight foot tall reproduction of the Columbia's figurehead, a half model of the Columbia showing how the ship was provisioned for the long voyage, as well as reproductions of the clothing of the seafarers and musical instruments.
One wing features the history of the City of Garibaldi, displaying pictures and artifacts from the turn of the century.
Visitors of all ages will find interest in the museum. Handicapped accessible and group and children friendly, the Museum features interactive exhibits that combine history with cutting-edge technology.
While exhibits are geared to all ages, children are encouraged to have hands-on activities with most exhibits and demonstrations. Some of the friendly exhibits includes cooperage (wood buckets) puzzle, ship construction puzzle, 18th century toys and children's attire and clothing of the ordinary seaman and captain.
A table with examples of 18th century foods and cutlery is fascinating to all ages. Tea bricks, hard tack and tobacco twist are readily available for all to handle.
Most impressive is the half model of the Columbia, showing how the ship was provisioned for the three year journey. |
