Hurricane Ivan preceded us, but the washed-out roads and bad weather are minimal by the time we pass through. We've been incredibly lucky with the weather on this tour.
Tracy and I bike over to the local state park, which runs along the Eno River. I expected a bike trail along the river, but there isn't one; there is, however, a well-marked hiking trail along the banks of the swollen, muddy river.
Two kayakers pass by. There are some rapids downstream, and one of the kayakers seems to get caught in the undertow for a few minutes.
It's a day off. At night, a group of us goes over to Carrboro to visit Tricia Mesigian, who did merch on a previous tour and now owns the Orange County Social Club, a bar close to the Cat's Cradle (a popular local venue for touring bands).
