One Night, One Heart 2007

9. Hitting the Open Road
Special Guest: Doug McConnell
Hosts: JoAnne Powell & Ed Grammens and Tamara & Clint Goldman
Dinner at JoAnne and Ed's Home by: Chef Jennifer Carvaly - Corte Madera

We all wonder how our lives would be different had we taken "the road less traveled." Special Guest Doug McConnell, host of KRON's Bay Area Back Roads, has personified this desire by leading the way for millions of modern pilgrims to hidden destinations in the Western U.S. since 1993. His latest venture is a new multimedia travel website - www.OpenRoad.tv - that builds community via shared photos, videos and articles. Through this rich resource, those of us planning our own ventures West, including Hawaii and Alaska, can now take advantage of the wealth of recommendations from the Backroads crew, together with other travelers' ideas, experiences, and travel tips. Take advantage of this ideal opportunity to continue to build community through recounting your own travels, and sharing what you've learned by leaving your day-to-day existence behind to hit the trail. Private chef extraordinaire, Jennifer Carvaly, will match your adventuresome spirit with excellent cuisine.
