Loafing Some Cheese in Utah

This Saturday, I had quite the pleasure of coming across a bit of Oregon, as it were, as I was off on another adventure in the great state of Utah. While in Oregon, travelling along their coastline, I happened across the Tillamook Cheese Factory, where it so happens that the Worlds Best Cheddar is made. Despite being a frog, I found I've become quite partial to the stuff, as well as their ice cream and other cheeses. So imagine my surprise when, taking a day adventure with my dear friends the Carleski Boys, we happen to encounter the good people of Tillamook in Utah.



Being from Oregon, the Carleski boys are huge fans of the cheese factory, and as you can see from my friend's face, they were indeed excited to meet Loafy. Loafy, I am told is the official spokesman for their cheese, of course. I, personally, was quite impressed that such a large loaf of cheese would not melt in such hot conditions.



I was also rather impressed with Loafy's mode of transportation. It make sense that such a large loaf would need such a stylish and sporting car, what with being so famous. Perhaps next time I'm travelling through Oregon, I will have to inquire about getting one for myself. Couldn't you see me motoring about in a nice loaf mobile?



And finally, here I am showing the youngest of my friends how to smile and take a picture with Loafy. As you can see, he was perhaps not as certain about the large friendly cheese as his elder brothers; but yet,as ever, my example paid off, because right after this picture he was more than happy to hug the orange fellow and pose for more pictures.

After a few samples of Cheese and some conversations about my travels with the Loaf Ladies, I bid them all a cheerio, and set off, imaging myself continuing my travels in a bright orange loaf bus.
