Tent Caterpillar

We stopped along Hwy 101 to explore Ona Beach, just south of Newport.  The parking lot has a couple of paved paths that wind through a pine forest in between two streams that lead to the pacific ocean.  Again, unable to put description to justice. Ferns, pines, moss, sand, grass, budding spring trees, pine cones.  Beauty everywhere.   Long this path we spotted a huge next in a tree full of caterpillars in various stages of development. I had left my camera in the car since I’ve taken about 150 sunset photos this weekend (literally) so I walked to the car and back to take these photos.  A quick look up told me that they are Tent Caterpillars, but I was unable to find out which kind. Do you know?
