On our way to Rockaway Beach, OR for a day trip we made a stop at the Tillamook Forest Center right off of the Wilson River Hwy. There were lots of things to look at and a lot to learn about this incredibly beautiful area. One display caught Lily's attention:

Lily. Loves. Salmon.
I'm not talking "Oh, aren't theses fish so pretty. Mom, can I have one?" It's more "Oh, these fish are delicious. Mom, can I eat it?!!" Any chance she gets (and the price is right ;-> ) Lily eats Salmon. Hence her nickname, Lily Bear.

I'm just a ham.
The next time you're heading to the coast, take the Oregon Hwy 6 and stop in the Tillamook Forest Center. Lovely trails guide you along the river and lovely spots for picnics as well. Just beautiful. You'll find a climbable 40-foot tall replica of a forest fire lookout tower and a dramatic 250-foot-long pedestrian suspension bridge which leads from the building across the Wilson River to the Wilson River Trail and nearby Jones Creek Campground. One thing we missed was the Amphitheater. Next visit for sure!
