Wenatchee World Editor Likes E3NCW Concept!
Rufus Woods, editor and publisher of the Wenatchee World, is raving about E3!
In a recent article he explained a little more about the purpose of E3:
Here’s how it’s supposed to work. They’ll recruit 10 people from the region who are already going to the Olympics and who are willing to be ambassadors. They will form the E3 Army, according to Korfiatis and Granstrom. Armed with a brightly colored hat, trading pins, brochures and a free video camera, they’ll look for opportunities to encourage Olympic visitors to travel south and see what this area has to offer.
Read more of Woods’ thoughts on E3 in the article “Our army marches north.”
Biking on the Devil
The Seattle Times’ Mike McQuaide recently wrote about his trip down Devil’s Gulch – “the trail Northwest mountain bikers swoon about.” McQuaide writes:
According to many sources, the Devils Gulch Trail, just outside Cashmere, is one of the top — if not the top — mountain bike rides in Washington. Hard-packed single track, a spectacular Central Cascade setting, long sweeping turns, and crazy-fast switchbacks (on the descent) are just a few of its calling cards.
