A nice train ride on the coast

Cedar Creek Hatchery
Hebo, OR

What a beautiful day..a perfect day for some sightseeing!

Mom & Dad picked us up this morning, and we took a drive north.
We ambled up through Tillamook, and just north of Tillamook Bay,
is the small town of Garibaldi.
It even has a 'G' up on the mountain..


One of the main attractions is the


For $17 each (senior discount!) we had a nice 1 hour roundtrip ride along the coast.
The train is a steam locomotive, and travels from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach.
There are closed cars to ride in, but also some open cars too.
Since it was such a nice day, we decided to sit in the open car.

The scenery was spectacular!




When we got to Rockaway Beach, we found a great little place to eat..
Grumpy's!


We had great sandwiches..


and met Grumpy :-)


We had a great time..the day was perfect, the company even better :-)

  1. You make me smile everytime I read a new post of yours because you bring back wonderful memories in my life. There was a little café on at the Garibaldi Marina that had the best clam Chowder. And also in Rockaway, we use to frequent a restaurant on Sundays after church that had wonderful Chicken dinners.
