This was the second time that the two RV Gypsies went on the Columbia-Meares Glacier Excursion because this time they had their family with them. However, the first trip has many more photos, more history, and more information about this excursion then this page does. As a matter of fact, there are 5 full pages about the first excursion, and only one page here. If you wish to experience the first trip, use red G button at the bottom of most pages and scroll down to glaciers. The two RV Gypsies also took this same excursion again in 2016.

Lee and Karen Duquette and their family got on the boat and enjoyed the leisurely cruise through the bay heading towards the Columbia Glacier.

If you wish to see how these same places have changed as of the year 2016, go there now, but be sure to return here to continue with 2009 adventures. There will be a link at the bottom of the 2016 pages to return here.
