Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler Cruise from Cascade Locks to The Dalles, April 14, 2011


This morning I boarded the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler in Cascade Locks for a one way cruise to The Dalles. There were only seven passengers on board; four passengers including myself had taken the repositioning cruise from Portland to Cascade Locks just a couple weeks ago. I rode almost the entire trip in the wheelhouse. I piloted the sternwheeler for about fifteen minutes. The weather was cloudy and raining until Hood River and sunny beyond. The scenery was breathtaking. We had a continental breakfast, lunch buffet, and cookies for dessert. We rode a bus from The Dalles dock back to the dock at Cascade Locks arriving about 4:30pm.
