Day 37: Tillamook, OR

We packed up this morning form our dispersed camping site in the Tillamook State Forest:

We ended up backing up down to the road, which was only a few hundred yards, but it was so steep that the weight of the RV would pull the back end of the SUV down slope whenever I would turn the SUV to change the RV’s orientation.  We will be purchasing new rear tires next week.

We decided to head home by way of Tillamook, and stopped in to tour the cheese factory there:

It was a great tour.  It was neat to see the place where Portland’s kosher cheese is made!

We returned to Portland in the afternoon, and are getting ready for Yom Kippur, which is tonight.

  1. I’ve had Tillamook cheese! A colleague from Portland brought me the mild cheddar kosher cheese a few years back.

    Really enjoying your posts. Enjoy Sukkos.

    • We would have Tillamook chese in Minneapolis, and it used to have a story on the back about how the Rabbi would travel to the lush Tillamook Valley to supervise the cheese, etc. When we moved to Portland, we met Rabbi Oppenheimer, who was doing the supervision at the time. It was a little like meeting a celebrity!
