Hood River here we come...

... A lot of people speeding down I-84 toward Chicago (or Japan via the Pacific Ocean), just go whizzing right on by Hood River. That is a big mistake. I never saw a town that worked so hard to keep themselves outstanding. It is almost impossible to buy a bad meal there - like Maui Meyer says, "The food that grows around here is so good it is impossible to ruin it." Well thank heavens no one is trying to.

When Lewis and Clark came through here in 1804 and 1805, they had to work so hard to find fresh salmon, duck and venison. Today, all you have to do is drive to one of many Hood River restaurants and order it (and more) from a menu. Boy wouldn't that make Lewis and Clark mad to find that out.

Well, you can tell them if you want but they sure won't hear it from me.

Luv Sissy
