Day 3 - Travel Day to Newport, OR

Finally, our traveling day has arrived.  Most of us have been in Tillamook for four to five days.  It has been enjoyable and interesting.  However, caravaners can sit still for only so long when new adventures beckon.

Not too far from Tillamook, we crossed West Beaver Creek.  We then passed Beaver Mercantile and then Beaver Creek.  We never spotted even one beaver.  Then we looked in the mirror and saw two of them. HA! HA!

The drive on Oregon 22 was narrow and curvy but very scenic and fun to travel on.  We left our RV’s and switched to our tow vehicles about half way.  We then ventured on to the Evergreen Aviation Museum.  Everyone arrived safely at the museum and was anxious to take in the exhibits.

Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum is very well done and is a must see.  The number one attraction is Howard Hughes “Spruce Goose.”  This is one of the largest planes in the world and the frame structure is made of wood.  


There were many other unusual airplanes and related items of interest.









After our museum tour we took Oregon 18 back to our RV’s.  We re-hitched and had a nice drive west to Hwy 101.  We then drove south along the Pacific Coast to our destination in Newport, Oregon.  Everyone arrived safe and without any problems.


We had a very nice introduction to Newport talk by our Camp Host, who truly seemed to love the area.

Some of us went out for dinner at the Rogue Brewery Restaurant and helped support the local economy.

It is now about bed time and we are reflecting back on a wonderful day shared with really swell traveling companions.

God Bless the U.S.A.!
