i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

Have you been to Eno River State park (http://www.enoriver.org/eno/parks/WestPoint/westpoint.html), on the north side of Durham? It has a nifty old mill (reconstructed), and there are trails up along the river. There's the Festival for the Eno every July 4 (which is fun), but I like exploring the area best when it's not over-run by crowds.
