Gary,

Are you familiar with the 1989 book by Bert Webber:  "Bayocean, the 
Oregon town that fell into the sea."  ?

>cape mears is so beautiful.  just before you drive into cape mears, or about 2 miles back is what used to be the town of bayocean.  what a history that place has.  i remember as a young kid when the natatorium broke up and slid into the ocean.  i was there.  it is nice to take that road over to where the town used to be and walk across to the beach.  if you walk straight ahead on the road you will come to where the ocean dumps into tillamook bay.  you can look directly across and see barview and that other little town.  it is a great walk and you will see deer and ducks and all kinds of things.  there is also a place where there is still some of the pavement from the old road although it has buckled and is just laying in a pile.  i came so close to buying 10 acres about 1/2 mile from the beach.  we lived 16 miles south of tillamook on hiway 101 and i had just had enough of the beach and its weather.  i have been a lot of places but i have yet to see any other beach that compares with the oregon coast.  i hope to go back to oregon in august or sept. of this year for a month and hopefully i will get to the coast.  i love to go by the old place.  i went to a two room school in hemlock, which really doesn't exist anymore.  we were only 4 miles from the thriving metropolis of beaver, ore.
