Forks, Washington

After Silverton we headed for the coast again to a place called Tillamook. There was an air museum here which was inside a massive hangar that was used for WW2 airships. Supposedly one of the largest wooden buildings in the world. It was a pretty impressive sight and was really good inside with loads of aircraft from WW2 to modern jets. http://www.tillamookair.com/ We stayed one night at a park in Tillamook.

Before we left Tillamook we took the RV to a garage to get the oil topped up, tyres and transmission fluid checked etc. Then we headed north out of Oregon and into Washington state. We were aiming to stay at the RV park owned by the guy who leased us the RV. This was at a place called Grayland, halfway up the Washington coast. The weather finally changed and we have sunny clear skies rather than endless clouds like our whole time in Oregon.

Today we left Grayland, stopped off in Aberdeen to get some lunch, use the wifi and see the Hangover again (yep, its that good!). After this we were back on the road to Forks. This is a town on the west side of the Olympic national park which we will visit tomorrow. The park is quite big so we can only visit a few highlights. Tomorrow will be the Hoh Rain forest which is one of the few temperate rain forests in the world. We'll be moving to the North side of the park in a couple of days and then on to Seattle.
