Welcome to the Columbia River Gorge, formed by the mighty Columbia River as it flows thru the Cascade Mountain Range of Northern Oregon and Southern Washington. More than a mile wide in some spots, the Columbia River is the second largest river in the United States and is the center of an Outdoor Recreational Wonderland.

When visiting the area, you can stay in Oregon or Washington at a wide variety of quality lodging options. Bed and Breakfasts, classy hotels, and waterfront estates... Gorge Travel strives to bring you an exclusive list to choose from. We don't actually book your lodging... this site is merely offered as a public service to acquaint you with some of the finest choices this area has to offer, and you can contact them direct thru their individual websites. Just mention that you heard about them through Gorge Travel, and they may offer you a discounted rate.

Often referred to as the Windsurfing Capital of the continental U.S., the Gorge also affords myraid other fun activities for your enjoyment. Hood River, Oregon, just 60 miles east of Portland along I-84, is the epicenter of an outdoor recreational wonderland. This federally protected National Scenic Area offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities. Enjoy mountain biking, whitewater rafting and kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, kiteboarding, waterskiing and personal watercraft, horseback riding, golf, and snow skiing and snow boarding on nearby Mt. Hood with an elevation of 11245 feet! The Columbia River Gorge truly has something for everyone!

I think I'll put in three job applications, one in Eugene, Salem, and Portland.

Oh, wait, I did that last week.

I've noticed that only pictures of sunny days end up on the booster sites.

on a mid-winter day when we were visitors here.

We should go back...

only once, but I would love to go back.

They also have strawberry festivals on the island.

Your excuse could be that you live far away; I don't have any excuse. I'm relatively close to Sauvie Island but just too busy to stop and smell the roses sometimes -- right here in the Rose City.

I just found out that we missed the Yoshida Sand in the City sand sculpture festival held last Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland.

They do amazing work there! I have no idea who won on Sunday!

but I'm always checking the webcam.:hi:

Well, I'd move pretty much anywhere in Central to Northern California, Oregon or Washington State. I want to live by mountains and the ocean.

Instead I live in Chicago. A great city but no mountains or ocean. Bleh.

worked as Radio Advertising Manager for LoJack Corporation, the company that installs stolen vehicle recovery devices. We had a couple of meetings, went out with the local representative to a car dealership. Then we had a wonderful steak dinner and listened to some wonderful jazz.

We moved from Boston, Massachusetts to Portland, Oregon in 1998. Our daughter and son-in-law preceded up in 1995, and we now live just a few miles away -- and we have two grandkids here. One son and one grandson are still back in Boston, the other son married a gal from Salt Lake City, and now lives in Layton, Utah with our two grandsons there. We're happy to lose the winters now that we're officially retired.

Portland is a great city, medium-sized, lots of things to do, traffic not as bad as Boston, New York, Los Angeles or Miami, the four big cities I've lived in during my lifetime. We're really enjoying it here.

Have a great day, Grace.

In peace,

I love Chicago, it's a great city. But I've lived here my whole life and I long for a change. I have tons of family and friends out there, so I visit at least once a year somewhere on the coast. It's not enough though!

Cedar Hills shopping center, Beaverton

SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland

Burnside Boulevard, Portland

I frequent them all!

It's beautiful there. I've been through the Columbia River Gorge, Sauvie Island, Mt. Hood, Hood River, Cannon Beach, Jewel, all the parks around Portland, the downtown area, etc. It's all beautiful. I should go back and visit, since I haven't been there for 25 years and I have friends in the area.

Hope you make it back here soon!

In peace,

Radio Lady
