Day 31 - Columbia Sternwheeler Cruise

 This was a very relaxing day as we boarded the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler. We cruised down river about 20 miles, through one lock and then, back up river to the starting point. We had a brunch as well as a late lunch on board. The paddle wheel actually propelled the ship.
