Roanoke Cashie River Center Gets Pontoon Boat

Today was the launch for training purposes of the new pontoon boat that will shortly be taking people on trips up and down the Cashie River. The volunteers who have agreed to captain the new venture and provide guide duties, were given orientation and training on the new service at the River Center offices.

It was a truly beautiful trip down the river, and just on this short orientation ride we saw an owl, 4 herrons, several turtles of various types and some great scenery.
