  • 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.

Celebrated for their unique stone, wood, horn, and bone carvings, for basketry, and for their beadwork, the Indian peoples who lived along this expanse of river figured prominently in the writings of 19th-century explorers and early pioneers. During the 20th century, these same peoples were photographed by regional photographers. Between 1900 and the late 1950s, three of them—Lee Moorhouse of Pendleton, Oregon, Thomas H. Rutter of Yakima, Washington, and J.W. Thompson of Seattle, Washington—captured nearly 6,000 images of Indian life along the Middle Columbia River.

  • Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Viva Italia 2012 Columbia Winery, Woodinville The Viva Italia car & motorcycle show was another fun day filled with a great mix of Italian metal. The weather in the area around Woodinville was stormy with thunder and lightening not too far away, but our event location was blessed with just clouds and cars. No rain fell on us, but based on the reduced number of cars overall I think the weather kept a few at home in their garages. Harry Reed arrived early to help me setup, but neither of us had much of a task list. The new American Car Museum in Tacoma showing nearly 400 of the cars from the Lemay collection, joined us early as well with a table to sell raffle tickets for the 2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. I bought my ticket so I assume I’ll win. We used the west half of the Columbia Winery parking area this year mixing the Alfa Romeos, with Fiats, De- Tomaso Panteras, and Ferraris.
