We drove to the Eno River State Park headquarters and spoke to a fellow (he used to live in Monterey, in the service . . . he always meant to live in California, but when he returned to North Carolina he met a girl . . . ) who gave us some advice on a nice hike, the Cox Mountain Loop Trail.
Again, very hot and humid. The trail started off in a picnic area, crossed the Eno River, then headed uphill for a ways. Once in the forest, the silence returned; looping downwards from the "summit" (not what we would call a real mountain) we saw a few deer and some turtles sunning themselves along the riverbank.
