On Saturday, Oct 8th, the Virginia Canals Society will be hosting a Roanoke River Guided Float, led by William Trout. Getting out for a day on the river is a great way to follow up on a day long conference on issues. The Upper Roanoke River float trip will highlight the history of the bateaux on the Upper Roanoke and Salem as a port. The exact location of the Saturday, October 8th float is pending on weather, water level and interests of participants. The remnants of Batteau can still be found on our rivers.For more information and to register visit: http://www.vacanals.org/
