Over the last 15 years, I have explored the Columbia River west as far as the river’s mouth at Astoria, 95 miles away from Portland, and east as far as the Bonneville Dam, about 37 miles away. I’ve also taken her up the Willamette River through downtown Portland as far as the dam at Oregon City. Lately, as my Alzheimer’s disease has slowly progressed, it has become increasingly difficult to safely operate and maintain my beloved Lizzie G. So, with real sadness and sense of loss, I have put her up for sale. In the fall of 2022, my friend John Harland and I took Lizzie G for one more trip to Beacon Rock. September had been hotter than usual, and we struggled a bit hiking to the top in the heat. As always, the view from the top, 850 ft above the river, was spectacular.
