3/6, Sunday. Again, cloudy. More rain. Took dad for another short sightseeing trip. This time west-ward.First stop, on the way to the coast (hwy-6), Tillamook Forest Center.
I was here twice before, both times closed. Finally I got to go inside. Excellent: educational, cleverly designed. See the photo for salmon in water (the case looks like water), for display draws in a tree-like post. 
Big bridge over rushing spring water of Wilson River. We also walked up the lookout, equipped like a real fire lookout.Second stop, Kilchis Point Reserve, a newly developed park. Nicely designed, but not a whole lot to see. You can walk to the shore of Tillamook Bay. I was hoping for birds, but didn't see much.
Last stop, Cape Meares. The light house is still closed for the season. Easy walks, great view of the coast. I was hoping to see a lot of birds, but not today. The octopus tree is an oddity. It appears to be rather old. As we were leaving, the storm came.
