Explore the journey — one trail, museum, meal, and memory at a time.
Tillamook Creamery
From a quiet overnight spot above the beach in Newport to a memorable encounter with a local artist, the day unfolds along Oregon’s coast. A stop at Tillamook Creamery brings more food than expected—and consequences—before a misdirected drive to Cape Meares Lighthouse adds one more unexpected turn to a day that didn’t quite go as planned.
Martin Guitar Factory & More
From watching frets installed by hand at the Martin Guitar Factory to carefully navigating an icy trail at Trexler Nature Preserve, the day unfolded as a mix of precision, patience, and quiet observation. It ended simply and comfortably in the Cabela’s parking lot in Hamburg — one of those rare places where a long day of exploring wraps up without complication.
