This park is located about 20 miles south of Tillamook very close to the pacific ocean... lovely spot really and we have always enjoyed our visits to this park. For 1 thing they have wild bunnies and deer which adds a special flavor! Then they are right across the street from a very cool beach with tide pools... their very own 'haystack rock' which they like to boast about in town.. the park is on a hill and densly wooded which adds a bit of privacy... WHEN the weather is nice, it's a great place to have campfires... this year however our timing was off and we hit a very rainy, windy time! goodness the wind and rain pelted down on us and we stayed pretty much holed up inside..ha! Left today (the 29th) and had every thing hit us from rain, wind, hail, snow and finally sunshine! Lovely.. now at Long Beach, WA until Friday!!!
Dolly Parton has certainly done a lot for the folks in this town besides bringing the Dixie Stampede dinner show! We enjoyed the show and the meal which you eat without any silverware! Interesting and wasn't sure how that would be done but amazingly it was and we enjoyed it all. A braized game hen; smoked pork, corn on the cob, potato and buscuit and wonderful creamy veggie soup and a wonderful apple turnover! oh my goodness and an interactive show to boot! Fun times but no pics allowed during show. When Dolly brought Dollywood to the area it created the all important "job" and since then Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have really grown up and are now holiday destinations for folks from all these southern states besides as far away as MI and OH.. we talked to several of these folks and learned people return time and again they have so much fun!
