(Not so) wild, wild rumor
I'm repeating it because it comes from respectable sources, it won't hurt anybody to repeat it even if false, and I don't know what to make of it. Rumor is, the King of Jordan is staying at the Benbow Inn and President Bush is on his way up from Napa (watching fires) to visit with him.Like I said, wild rumor. I think the most famous person to stay at the Benbow before that was Eleanor Roosevelt. After her, Basil Rathbone.
So why would the King of Jordan come to Benbow? A gorgeous no-prize for the best answer.
Addendum: Well, the King ordered a hamburger with mushrooms and onions in Oregon yesterday.
Second addendum: Yup. He's been all through Oregon "under the radar." Look for the guy in the photo, which comes from the article.
Third addendum: And yup. The president has been here viewing fires. All could very well be true.
When I left the radio station Cynthia Elkins and Sue Maloney were on their way down to Benbow to track the rumors and try to get an interview. Good luck to them!
Fourth addendum: Turns out, Cristina scooped me!

I sure wish we had a big beatiful lake for the king to take his queen for a canoe ride.

To land the multiple helicopters that accompany the President, theres really only two places he could come in. The golf course right there in Benbow, or possibly even the airport by GVille. You will hear it no matter where you are.

He was in Napa as well. Although the SS never said where, when or anything. Last time he was their there were thousands of people blocking the streets around some winery.

This is HUGE. Were any locals invited? What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall.

Sorry that was sarcasm. Just wanted to see it all by itself. Heh.

Hee hee. For once, I beat you to it, Eric. Of course, you had your radio show to attend to, and I only have about nine fans. ;)
Bush had dinner this evening with billionaire real estate man and winemaker Bill Harlan in Napa.

Sounds like our friend "W" is doing a little political fund raising.

They're on a motorcycle tour of the west coast. Quite an entourage. Massive security. Secret service, Jordanian security, home land security, CHP escort, bomb sniffing dogs. Stuff you don't normally encounter in everyday life.

Cristina,
You may want to interview the young lady who waited on the Royal Family while they were here for their visit. She is a local girl home from college working double shifts at the Benbow Inn.
I don't think it would be appropriate for me to post her name because I didn't ask permission.
Her story was interesting and I think the Redwood Times readers would enjoy it as much as much I did.
She is an unpretentious young lady and considers her story all in a days work.
