Daffodils at the Eno: Walk, Read, and Connect

Join us for a Sunday afternoon walk along the Eno River, for conversation, reading, and looking for the daffodils that should be in bloom near the ruins of old homesites along the trail. We'll take the Buckquarter Creek trail and part of the Eno Trace trail for a total of about 3 miles. The trail may be muddy, and there are some steps and rock scrambles, so wear shoes with good tread.

Meet at 2:00 pm on Sunday, March 1, at the Eno River State Park Visitor Center in the Fews Ford section of the park: 6131 Cole Mill Rd, Durham, NC 27705. Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nymt7WdcrKqyLr5v5

Note that there are several different parking lots in this section of the park - if the one near the visitor center is full you can park in the others, but there will be a short walk from them to where we'll be meeting in front of the visitor center. See the map link above for the visitor center location in relation to the other parking lots, and this page for photos of the visitor center building - we'll meet out front.

We'll get started a few minutes after 2:00pm and aim to be back at the visitor center around 4:00pm.

We hope to see some of the "regulars" there, and to meet new folks! This group is a great way to meet people who both enjoy walking in nature and reading and talking about books and ideas. It's a fun group, with friendly people.

A couple of other notes:

• If you sign up and later realize you can no longer come, please change your RSVP to indicate that, so it will open up your space for someone on the waitlist, and so we know not to wait for you at the trailhead.
• If you're on the waitlist, check Meetup the day of the event, because often people drop out late and spaces open up at the last minute.
• We’ll still plan to walk if it’s drizzling or raining lightly. But if there’s heavy rain or extreme heat or cold in the forecast, we’ll reschedule and send a notice by the morning of the event to people who have registered. Make sure to check your messages before heading out to see if the event has been canceled.
• Participation in this hike and any of the events organized by this group are at your own risk. These hikes are on public and well-used trails, but there may be dangers like tripping over tree roots, snake or insect bites, poison ivy, or other unpredictable risks. By joining this event you agree not to hold the organizers responsible for any injuries, and that you understand that you participate at your own risk.

See you soon!
