3 DEAR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, When you see the Pacific Ocean from Cape Disappointment or the basalt cliffs of the Columbia River, you are taking in views shared by America s great explorers. These awe-inspiring views are part of your carefully designed voyage that follows the path of the Lewis and Clark expedition that redrew the map of the American West. You ll sail further into history as you transit the Columbia River Gorge. Traveling by ship allows you to see time layered in the riverbanks, where the Missoula Floods of 15,000 years ago carved much of the route you travel, and the landslides of 500 years ago altered the river s course by a full mile. Join Dr. Patrick Muffler, geologist emeritus, and a top-notch expedition team aboard the 100-guest National Geographic Quest. Through their informative talks and engaging companionship, they put everything into context, weaving an ongoing narrative from each day s events. Even the ship s hotel staff contributes to your appreciation of the region, as they introduce you to Oregon and Washington s burgeoning food and wine scene. You also see some modern marvels of human engineering the imposing systems of locks and large-span bridges. Look forward to a possible lock transit aboard a Zodiac, to kayaking, cycling down winding roads, a winery and brewery tour, and a visit to the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum. We hope you ll join us, October 11-17, 2018 on an expedition featuring the best of this unique region.
