Just outside Tillamook, heading south on the part of Highway 101 that winds inland, you'll find plenty of pastoral coast range scenes, with lush farmlands and misty mountains bringing to mind old fashioned Americana. Cows sometimes inturrupt your drive here, a twisting, turning roadway filled with sights and country smells. It's the kind of stuff Norman Rockwell would've loved.

From here, it's about a half hour ride still to Lincoln City.
