About this event
CANNON BEACH 2015
Fond of spirited driving? Just want to go-with-the-flow? Interested in taking it easy and taking in the sights? Take your pick - there is a tour group for everyone in the Autumn Cannon Beach Tour!
This tour is an early start - we’ll gather at 8AM Friday October 16th to take the beautiful back roads of west-central Washington as we wind our way to a great pizza buffet lunch at Fultano’s in Oregon. From there the tour continues on more scenic and twisty Oregon backroads all leading to the Tolovana Inn and a night of discovering the varied eating and drinking establishments in the area. Check out your choices at http://www.cannonbeach.org and make your plans!
Dinner and entertainment Friday night is up to the individual as we prepare for the optional Tilamook Tour on Saturday: For early risers who like a drive before breakfast, the Cannon Beach to Tillamook breakfast tour heads down the Necanicum Highway before finishing at the Tilamook cheese factory for breakfast. Afterwards a number of options are available, such as a ride over to see the Wineries in McMinnville or a visit to the various lighthouses in the area. (NOTE: based on local advice we are not planning a group drive to the air museum; the Cannon Beach Chamber informed us that many planes have been moved and the collection is now very limited. If you are interested please do some additional research before visiting. It is still the largest wooden structure in the US!).
For those more inclined to sleep in and enjoy Cannon Beach, a full day of beach walks, exploring, and shopping awaits. Nearby Ecola State Park is a great option for hikers and the first parking lot has an excellent spot in which you can park your car and take a great photo of a "lone pine tree" with Haystack Rock in the distance (see the photo above). Saturday evening the club hosts a Dinner Social and Buffet at the Tolovana Inn wrapping up what is sure to be a great event (see below for details).
The Friday tour lunch stop Pizza Buffet at Fultano’s is set at $10 / person, paid directly to the restaurant after the meal and includes the tip. In and out quickly! The Saturday Tilamook Factory breakfast is ordered from the Tilamook standard menu, again please pay the restaurant directly at the time of your meal. Of course you can also just opt for an ice cream breakfast instead! Yum!
