Cheese Factory, Coast Views, and Sand Dunes

We started our day (late morning) with a visit to the Tillamook Cheese factory.

This morning was far less crowded than yesterday afternoon.  They have spruced things up a bit from last time we were here but layout is pretty much unchanged.  Self guided tour (basically a second floor viewing area looking down on cutting and packing operations), gift shop, cheese shop, cafe, ice cream counter.  We each got an ice cream cone.  Very good.

South along some of the most scenic of the Oregon coast.  Going from north to south is definitely the more scenic direction.  Also easier to access turnouts.

We camped in a state park just south of Florence which is at the northern end of the Oregon Sand Dunes.
