While waiting for snow and watching as the weather was just dumping water, Val and I started to look for other places to hike. We found a trail that uses some old roads in the Tillamook Forest so decided to go check it out. Getting there was much easier than what I had expected. Some of the hikes in the Tillamook Forest and buried inside the mountain so they are not easy to get to, and you get the un-official camp where big trucks, tents usually appear with the accompanying sound of gun fire. We didn’t get the distraction this time perhaps because it was raining, even though we did see the big camps trailers here and there. The bad side was that, with the rain, we were not able to really enjoy the scenery much. Most of the hike was either in a dense forest or around a service road. The highlight was a detour we took to go check out University Falls. After the fall, we close a short lollipop loop to then head back to the car. Luckily we had towels and a change of clothes as we got drenched. I’m guessing we can check this trail again sometime
