adventuregal Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Is it worth spending a few hours on one of my last PNW days there?? I do love cheese, so.... Quote
Mr._Natural Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 gotta love the all you can eat bins, stay away from the curd. very handy if you havent eaten in a few days. might want to fiber load before and after. cheese Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 I'm a huge fan of the ice cream, and I liked the tour (lots of automation), but if it's one of your last PNW days, I'd prolly recommend some climbing. If you haven't really been to the coast yet, then it's another story (go to the cheese factory, do some hikes along the coast, hang out at the beach, etc.) Just some ideas... Quote

adventuregal Posted August 20, 2003 Author Posted August 20, 2003 Come on people, ICE CREAM! I want to hear more about the ice cream!!!!!! Quote
vegetablebelay Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Cougar Gold Cheese is better anyway. Quote

Few years ago, it was like $5.50 for the Baby Loaf (Baaaaabyyyyy Loooaaaaaffff), now it's like $7.50.   's not FAIR, DAMMIT! Quote
b-rock Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 yes, they have ice cream, never done the tour, but i've had their ice cream there. Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Tillamooks High's mascot is the Cheesemaker. How proud must a kid be to be able to inform people that they're one of the Fightin' Cheesemakers? Â Quote
adventuregal Posted August 20, 2003 Author Posted August 20, 2003 Â My high school was the "Gremlins"... Quote
iain Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Tillamook high schoolers have bigger problems. Â a-gal - the ice scream is not free, unless a penguin is offering it. Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 yeah, no free ice cream, but it *is* a large ice cream shop, with (I think) all the flavors they offer available in bowls, on cones, probably also in milkshakes (I almost said "frappes" for those New Englanders out there), etc. Good stuff. Â hmmm, now I want ice cream... when are you going? Quote
iain Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 be sure to visit this house if you pass through the astoria area too... Quote

Ursa_Eagle Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 "frappe" is Newenglandese (perhaps Bostonese?) for milkshake. I guess a milkshake back there doesn't have ice cream... Quote
Dan_Harris Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 By all means stop in if you are driving through. It doesn't take long, maybe an hour. Good ice cream and interesting self guided tour. If you're on the coast and going through Florence and want good ice cream, stop at BJs (Leave it alone trask!!!) . Great ice cream there. Quote

jon Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 You assholes are making me hungry. Do you think the people working in the cafeteria will freak when they see me for the third time today with a plate full of cheese from the sandwich bar? Quote
