Willamette Queen Sternwheeler Adventure


Well, Captain Craig and I are back in Oregon one week and already we are on another adventure. This one is only for a night, teambuilding with my HP team, having dinner, drinks, and solving a murder mystery on the Willamette Queen Sternwheeler. As you can tell in the picture he loves being at the wheel, operating the 87 foot, 86 ton, twin paddle-wheeler. From Riverfront Park in downtown Salem, Oregon, up the river and back down, the whole group of us drank, ate and participated in a saloon reenactment of an attempted murder. Craig got to play Boone, a gun-slinger who kept yelling "He's only got one eye!" (You had to be there.) This show was during dinner and all of us participated by yelling our parts when we got the que. Then when the show was over we all voted on who we thought tried to kill the star of the show. Turns out it was the star of our party, TDO General Manager Sam Angelos. And I think about half our group voted for him! Anyway we had lots of laughs and I think they had a hard time getting us all off the boat!
"He's only got one eye!"
