Hi Marc,
stevebrot has sort of got this covered....well and truly.

My visit to the area is remembered by Mt St Helens (if the weather is kind to you); Mt Hood ? (Terry's mountain from the other forum); Portland Rose Gdn if its in season, great photog opportunities up there. Columbia Gorge drive on the old road Multnomah Falls etc, and the windsurfers on the river might attract you to.

If going out to Manzanita....breakfast or lunch at Camp 18 (that might be Camp 19....one or the other), a diner set in an old logging encampment....arrive hungry.

Tillamook might be stretching you time wise, but there is the air museum and further along that access road by the museum, a great waterfall and huge trees.

Beautiful area, look forward to seeing it through your eyes.
Cheers.
