Before we headed back to Portland on Monday, we took a walk through Ecola State Park – the place where intrepid Anglo explorers Lewis and Clark would have starved to death if they hadn’t been told about a massive rotting whale carcass on the beach by local Indians.
No rancid blubber on the menu for us, though, just a beautiful grey day, a few surfers and miles of virgin sands. We hiked up Tillamook Head – which shares it's name with the North West’s most famous cheese dairy. If you ever get the chance to eat some Tillamook Cheddar, pass it up. In the distance there is a lighthouse. Oooh.

Cool/spooky WW2 gun emplacements at the top. Things get overgrown *fast* here in the North West.
