Not Ranked
Here's a couple suggestions for the return trip from our Cascade Cobra friends (posted on FFCars) for those of us not continuing on to Florence.
Hi Bruce,
A nefty 'lil run for you guys our club has done before is to head south 25 mi.ish from Seaside(hwy101) to Nehalem, Ore, & take Hwy 53 back North(25mi.ish) to Hwy 26 turn left(5mi.ish) & eat @ Camp 18(great food) about 18miles inland from Seaside. Hwy 53 very,very cury & a couple of low dips(ask Dave about his GT40) but fun to drive.Just saying--

Another option would be to back-track to Astoria and come back down Hwy 30. I like it better than 26 but I don't have any recommendations for restaurants. Coming into Rainier from the north on 30 provides a spectacular view of the bridge and you can hop over to Longview/Kelso and pick up I5. Cuts out some of the boredom on the south end of 5.
