Tillamook is a great town along Oregon's beautiful coast.  It is famous for the cheese factory (which also makes fantastic ice cream).  Good seafood restaurants can be found, just ask Suzanne.  You will enjoy your trip to Tillamook!



HOTEL

Best Western Inn, Tillamook...a good place to stay and convenient to the site.  The hotel might be a good place for Suzanne to meet the camera crew and satellite truck and guide them to the site a few miles north.

SITE

Here is the site.  It is just off the parking lot of an oyster packing company.  The company has a paved parking lot but we would like to position the truck just off the parking lot on a road that runs a short distance down a spit of land.  All action will happen on this spit of land so only about 400-ft of camera cable will be needed.


Here is a view looking down the spit of land (note wheel ruts).  This is very solid and wide BUT you won't have to go far down it.  Asphalt parking lot is beside the building.

Here's a view (roughly) in the direction of AMC9.  There are mountains behind that fog but we figured that anything over 24-degrees was golden.

Pacific Oyster (the location)...a good place to buy some packed oysters for the trip home.

This is Suzanne Greenwood, our show host and local producer.

In the event of catastrophic weather conditions the backup site is a community center just a little ways from the primary site. 

Here is the satellite view from the backup site.  We DO NOT anticipate the need for this site unless a storm with lightning is present.  A decision will be made well before you would need to set up in the morning.

Weather conditions are definitely changeable in Tillamook.  Be prepared for heat, cold, rain, fog, wind or mud.  About the only thing we can guarantee is no snow or ice.
