In the unlikely event you decide to stay, there's plenty of cheap accommodation to choose from - the visitor center , on US-101 (tel 541/994-8378 or 1-800/452-2151, ), has the full list. For somewhere to eat , you're better off headed south to Newport or further north to TILLAMOOK , whose main draw is the Tillamook Cheese Factory (daily 8am-6pm; free; ), north of town on US-101, where you can watch cheese being made while devouring a cone from one of the factory's two ice-cream counters. Tastier cheese can be had just to the south at the Blue Heron (daily 9am-5pm; free; ), an increasingly popular spot where you can sample the company's pepper-encrusted brie before heading out back to have a close encounter with a rooster or donkey in a quasi-petting zoo. </body>
