      We have done this popular trip

        several times before, and it is a LOT of fun! 

            It is very scenic and full of excitement! 

  Monday, May 17:  Our tour bus takes us north to Portland, then east to Pendleton, following the mighty Columbia River through the Gorge.  Our home for the night is the OXFORD SUITES in Pendleton.  They feature a light hospitality event in the evening and hot breakfast in the morning.  (Reception)

  Tuesday, May 18:  After break breakfast, we enjoy a 90 minute tour of Pendleton's Underground before continuing on to Clarkston, WA to check-in at the QUALITY INN located right on the Snake River.  (B)

  Wednesday: May 19:  We take our overnight bags to our US MAIL BOAT which is docked adjacent to our hotel.  BEAMER'S JET BOATS have the contract with the US MAIL SERVICE and we will be on board to deliver the mail as we travel up the SNAKE RIVER on route to COPPER CREEK RESORT where we spend the night in their cabins.  Hell's Canyon is a very scenic part of the Snake River!  Copper Creek Resort is a little rustic but comfortable place to spend the night.  They really put on the feed-bag too.  (B, L, D)

  Thursday, May 20:  After breakfast we continue our Jet Boat tour up river to finish delivering the mail.  Lunch is served back at the Resort before heading back down-river to Clarkston..  Our charter bus takes us to Kennewick, WA where we find another QUALITY INN.  (B, L)
  Friday, May 21:  Our hotel again features a nice breakfast with you room.  After we check-out we head for Toppenish, the city of Murals.  Here we will enjoy a horse-drawn wagon ride for a tour of the Murals of Toppenish.  After lunch, we have to head for home.
