  • Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth)
    Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth) TRIP #1: ROW 1 #1, 1B: VISIT HISTORIC TROUTDALE Coined the “Gateway to the Gorge,” this city at the western boundary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area provides a great starting point for your road trip. The town was named in 1880 by Captain John Harlow, who had a trout-stocked fish pond in a small dale near his house. #1, 1I: SELFIE WITH SAM HILL “Who in the Sam Hill was Sam Hill?” Sam Hill was larger than life. He was a businessman, philanthropist, and an advocate for good roads. Sam was the driving force behind the Columbia River Highway; in fact, it’s safe to say that without his influence, there would be no Historic Highway today. Stop at Portland Women’s Forum State Park and locate the profile of Sam Hill on a plaque on the big rock near the entrance to the park. I’m sure Sam will hold still for your selfie. Share your photo on Instagram at #gorgebingo if you want. Note: There is a new bronze statue of Sam Hill and Historic Highway engineer Samuel Lancaster at Visionary Park & Monument in Troutdale. Feel free to take a visit. #1, 1N: HISTORIC ROUTE 30 SIGN The sign reads “Historic Route” with “Oregon – US 30” on a shield in the middle located along the entire route of the Historic Highway. The Historic Columbia River Highway is a 73-mile section of the entire 3,073-milelong Route 30, which runs east-west between Astoria, Oregon, and Atlantic City, New Jersey.
