What is this world coming to?

I just got back from a trip to the Great North West. I visited my dad after 16 years of not traveling up his way. He's been down a few times and we've been in touch on the phone and on the internet. It was a great visit, we had a wonderful time!

My question though at the opening, we visited a Rite Aid to pick up some ice cream and wouldn't you know it. They don't have Thrifty Ice cream! What!!! That is some of the best, award winning ice cream in the world and they don't have it! How disappointing is that? Well, I did find another good one that I haven't seen at home in San Diego, Tillamook. I've heard of the cheese, I didn't know they made ice cream too? I learned something new!

  • Tillamook is a close 2nd to Blue Bell, however Blue Bell is still the King of ice creams.

    To the OP, you need to take a trip up the Oregon coast to Tillamook! They are a growing local Co-Op that has had their plant open to the public for tours as long as I can remember! Lots of RV parking and easy access just real busy in the Summer time.
  • Gifford Ice Cream is a great ice cream. Its made up in Maine. We sell it in the Ice Cream Parlor here at the campground.
  • IMO, you can't beat locally made ice cream... I seek that out when possible.
