Downtown Jacksonville

We stopped in for an afternoon stroll through downtown Jacksonville.  It is a gorgeous old historical frontier town.

The J’Ville Tavern.  We Tried to go inside but accidentally walked into a wake.  One would think they would put up a sign or something to indicate that a wake was in progress.

Lots of beautiful old brick buildings.  Jacksonville is one big historic district.

Around Williams

The valley leading up to Williams is incredibly pretty.  According to our guidebook, this area grows 20% of the legal marijuana in Oregon and much more of the illegal crop.  Based upon how nice all of the houses and vehicles around here were, I think that is accurate.
