Perfect Day for a Cruise I was on my own for the day and looking for something to do on a beautiful early autumn day and ended up taking a cruise on the Lake Queen, piloted by Captain Gus. It was a very pleasant and peaceful 90 minute cruise on Lake Taneycomo. Captain Gus regaled us with the unique history of the area and also told us the type of birds and animals we encountered along the way, which included an eagle and some white-tailed deer. Gus has a great sense of humor that was highlighted by sounding the vessel's loud horn as zip-liners were traversing just above us. We stopped briefly at Branson's Landing to watch the music and light show on the shore on our way back to the dock. I keep remembering facts that he shared with us along the way and am just amazed. I was very impressed with the cruise and would highly recommend it.
