Day 3 - Hood River, The Dalles

Everyone always slows down for ice cream.

A classic American icon in a classic modern American setting. Yes, styles do change.

Russ and Wendy sip coffee, while Emma eyes the doggie gourmet store across the street.

We spot "Grace", a 1953 Austin Healey 100 while we're crossing the street in downtown Hood River. We know she looks like something pretty special.

"Grace" has logged many miles, visited 50 states, and sports many signatures as a result of her involvement in "Drive Away Cancer".

Meet John Nikas, Grace's partner and the driving force behind "Drive Away Cancer".

Russ making a few "real" photos of John and Grace - fingers crossed for some great results so John will get some "real" prints!

The signing of Grace started with one request, now she's covered bumper to bumper. All signatures refer to lives touched by cancer.

Just for Debbie and her sister.

Emma can't let John get away without a couple kisses for an onwards safe journey. You can follow John and Grace's "Drive Away Cancer" project at driveawaycancernow.org

Off to The Dalles - woops no looks like Burgerville - don't miss out on those Walla Walla onions!

And now for the real The Dalles.

Steak feed at the local cinema ...... OK ....... as Tim Gunn would say ..... "make it work".

This trip we'll be crossing the Columbia again, and again, and again. But sure glad we're spending some time here.
