Well, today started with the fire alarm sounding... around midnight. Luckily, Will had time to
read the entire guest services binder yesterday so he knew that because it only sounded once, it was a false alarm. We went back to sleep until 7 when we woke up and it was SNOWING!
We packed up, checked out, then were on our way down the mountain in the snow. Once again, we were lucky for having the Subaru which handled well on the snow covered curvy downhill. We decided to stop at natural bridges, excited about FINALLY getting to go hiking and do something active. Unfortunately, it was closed too. 
Well, since we couldn't go hiking, we are stopping at the Rogue Creamery to eat
Well, since we couldn't go hiking, we are stopping at the Rogue Creamery to eat instead.
When we got inside the Rouge Creamery, the tour had just started. It wasn't really a tour per sé but more of a picture sideshow with commentary. This was not a problem due to the free sample of many of the cheeses. The Rouge Creamery makes three different kinds of cheeses; blue, cheddar and curds. I

t was very interesting to learn about the cheese making process. We were so impressed by "tour" that we ended up decided to take home our very own samples.
From Cheese we went to dessert. directly next door was a phenomenal chocolate confectionery
called Lillie Belle. All of the people that had joined us for the cheese tour had also decided to partake in the free samples next door. We sampled the chipotle ganache, blue cheese truffle, chocolate covered almonds, and the honey pot truffle topped with bee pollen. They were all delicious and beautiful like Leslie.
One thing that we have noticed that is peculiar about Oregon, is that every single gas station is full service, in that it is illegal to pump your own gas. This seemed very strange to us as we did not grow up in New Jersey either. All of the pump attendants were very nice and polite.
For lunch we decided to eat in historic Jacksonville. It was a very nice and cute small town. After much arguing, Leslie finally decided on La fiesta, also considering that young William was not allowed in any of her other choices. For some

reason, we were the only people eating mexican food there at 11:30 AM. La Fiesta was tasty and after eating, we went to the coffee shop across the street called GoodBean Coffee. It was tasty and a nice cozy coffee shop, where we rested for a few minutes there before heading off to Smith River.
Now we are on the road to Smith River where we might hike today. We will add photos as they become available (They take forever to upload.)
