During our 5 day stay in the Tillamook State Forest we camped in Gales
Creek Campground and hiked many area trails – Story Burn Trail, Wilson River
Trail, Gales Creek Trail, Nels Rogers Trail
& University Falls Trail. All
were beautiful, fern lined trails following creeks and rivers and often with
hidden waterfalls just around the next bend.

The weather was a mix of some sun and some cloudy days and light rain,
but it didn’t stop us. We carried rain gear in our packs and made hot soups to
eat at night to take the chill off a damp hike.

We discovered at great little restaurant in tiny Glenwood Oregon, just a
few miles from our campground. It was
aptly named “Out AZA Blue” and it was. The chef, Aza, waited on us, cooked for
us and made us feel like family. I had a
bubbling hot vegetable Parmesan that was pure heaven. David’s Fettuccine ‘AZAfredo’ was pretty
amazing. It was so good that we went
back for breakfast a few days later and Aza made us an omelette and a breakfast
burrito from freshly picked ingredients that we chose. Great coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice
made it perfect.
