Hear Me Roar

 HEAR ME ROAR - Featuring Elaine Franklin
Some say, "Behind every great man is a great woman." This great woman is Elaine Franklin, wife of Senator Bob Packwood. While Senator Packwood has had a very public career, less is known about his successful wife, Elaine. Her leap to US politics as a second career after being head of an English physical education department and coach is little known fact.
The transition from big city in England to Casper, Wyo., honest spoken, with a touch of an English accent, Elaine's career has included a new country, new career, and a very public spotlight. What is it like to be married to a public figure and have a career and identity of your own?
Honest talk laced with humor is a great description of my friend Elaine Franklin. Come meet her in person!

Road Trip: Classic Gorge Food
 Summer is classic road trip season, and a genuine road trips calls for authentic road food. The Columbia River Gorge offers plenty of scenic mileage with the
Historic Columbia River Highway, the
Hood River County Fruit Loop and Highway 26 winding south around Mt. Hood. Don't miss these timeless Gorge treats when you hit the tarmac.
- Tad's Chicken 'n Dumplings: First opened in the 1920s, Tad's offers roadhouse fare and hospitality to Gorge explorers alongside the Sandy River in Troutdale.
- Barlow Trail Roadhouse: From the same era as Tad's, this Welches roadhouse first opened in 1926 to feed travelers coming around the south side of Mt. Hood. Stop for a breakfast of Avalanche Biscuits and Gravy.
- Full Sail Brewing Company: Full Sail was one of the breweries that started Oregon's beer revolution. Founded in 1987 in a derelict cannery in Hood River and honoring the then new wind sport culture, Full is still going strong 28 years later.
