Both Grandma and I remarked about the Tillamook area; Almost like falling into a time warp, except for the odd Prius here and there.

I really got excited about the aircraft museum in the old Blimp hanger south of town.

The popscicleplane out by the highway needs some maintenance, though. My old Leading Chief would have had a coronary if he saw anything with a NAVY stencil that looked like that, display or not. Almost stopped and broke out the toolbox.

Ya we went by there two weeks ago, Rockaway is about 20 miles North. The plane is looking real bad.

Have not been to the museum itself since 1994. They had a nice collection at the time - and is that hangar not huge? Sadly, it's twin burned down about 20 years ago. Before the fire it was used for hay storage for the dairy farms. That had to be a heck of a fire.
