Another stay at Harborview Inn in Garibaldi
We found a glorious sunset between Garibaldi and Bay City, Oregon at a view point on Highway 99...
... looking West across the bay...
...and watching one of many Great Blue Herons flying home to the trees above Garibaldi.
The next day we had a great lunch in the Tillamook Public Market...
...housed in an old brick building ...
...the proprietors of our lunch spot (Local Dog House) were great hosts with great dogs (Coney Island)...
... and the public market was much more than good food and worth a visit.
South of Netarts in Netarts bay we saw a couple of snorkelers one taking off his fins to make it easier to go ashore.
Driving toward Cape Lookout we stopped into the Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery a volunteer operated hatchery made possible by a grant from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"The Whiskey Creek hatchery was developed by volunteers to enhance
fishing on the Oregon coastal rivers, streams and ocean.
Feed the fish, enjoy the grounds and come back regularly to
monitor the growth of the salmon.
Whiskey Creek Hatchery always welcome guests and new members
to join in clipping, special kids fishing days, feeding fish and other events."
There is a nice short walk around the Hatchery including this - well I'm not sure what it is but it's cute..
... and this great view of the bay.
In the Hatchery itself I really liked this fish sign.
Just up the road the drive of the day had this highlight a U-Pick Oyster sign Sharyn spotted. Gotta love Oregon's sense of humor - or were they serious.
Back at Garibaldi at our campground I liked this Hydrangea's color...
...and loved seeing the Coast Guard Helicopter that flew in 200 yards or so away ...
... and the crowd that it drew including a three wheeled bike carrying a cowgirl...
... then off he flew into the sky and up the bay.
