It's been a while since I popped in to the Smith River Store up near Reedsport. It really feels…read morelike it's in the middle of nowhere, so it is a welcome sanctuary for roadtrippers like myself who occasionally get detoured by overturned eighteen-wheelers during my trek northward. Standard convenience store items are available including Gatorade, chips, and beef jerky. About once a year I break down and eat one of those pickled hot sausages (the "Tijuana Mama") and feel disgusted with myself as it repeats on me the rest of the day with indescribable deep down body burps. Yeah, I had one of those here too. But there's a tavern connected to the convenience store for washing down that junk food. And it's a sure-fire way to meet some of the locals. The bar stools are old tractor seats that (kind of) contour to your butt. The cooler behind the bar hosts an impressive bottled beer selection. And last I checked, they cook and serve pub grub there. So the Smith River Store has been a welcome respite during an otherwise harried journey for me. And they have ancient but functional gas pumps outside to get you on your way. Say "hi" to Troy (often your checkout guy or bartender) 'cause he's hella cool and seems to know these backwoods areas pretty darn good.

When you're way out in the middle of nowhere, Oregon (or possibly heading out to Fern Ridge for…read moresome camping or day-use fun), you may just find yourself in need of beer, ice, snacks, or various sundries. If so, Hilltop Market could have the answer to your burning desires. This little independent market, hidden behind a thick patina of beer banners and neon signs, offers up a surprisingly robust beer and beverage selection. With a ton of great local 22oz bombers, high-end cans including 21st Amendment and Caldera, and the usual macro light beers (giant Coronas, anyone?), there's something for every hops-consuming palate. Hilltop also rolls out a deep collection of N/A bevs from Vitamin Water to Mexican Coke and all sorts of interesting energy drinks too. Frankly, I was surprised to find such an insane beer collection so deep in BFE. Chips? Fuggedaboudit. These guys stock every flavor of Pringles (or at least 4 or 5 flavors) as well as a bunch o' random munchies. Everything you'll need to keep you snackified on a hot day down at Richardson or out on your Yacht in Fern Ridge. As for the rest of it, the selection is well above your average Dari Mart or Plaid Pantry but not a full grocery. It's still a convenience store that's simply well stocked. And local. And legit.

The two young people began to argue with me that it WAS a cappuccino. I told them I make myself one every morning, have drank them for years, and know what they are. They basically called me a liar!! Two other ladies there ALSO tried to tell them but they just got more and more rude. I showed a picture of a cappuccino to the young woman who then replied, "I don't want to see your stupid picture!" I told the young man I was going to report their rudeness to the owner and he replied,"I'd like to report YOU to your owner." One of the other patrons that witnessed all this said she would also report them to her friend, Jill, that also works there. They were apalled as well! As a retired middle school teacher, I have to say the horrible conduct of these two young people helps explain what is wrong with our schools. I saw the lack of respect coming when I retired in 2013. So so sad!! No respect for their elders or authority.

But don't despair, Lakeview Grocery has the basics for your recreation pleasure. Sodas, snacks, core groceries, beer, and most importantly, ice. Because drinking warm beer sucks. The real convenience comes with the dock access across the street, though. It's mainly a dock designed so people on the lake can pull up, run in, grab groceries, and then head back across the lake. However on the couple of times I've come through here, they've been amenable, once we buy groceries for lunch here, to letting us have a little picnic on their dock and even jump in the lake. Triangle lake is kind of weird - most of the land around it is private. And it's really best enjoyed with a boat. But if you're like us, and simply passing through and wanting to jump in to the mostly-blue water, then stop by, stock up, and ask nice, and maybe they'll let you use their dock for a picnic too. Friendly folks, decent selection, and convenient location. That's all that matters, right?
