Pea Creek and Dunnagan

Our Sunday Walk was along the Eno. We took the Pea Creek and Dunnagan trails in late morning under a dense green canopy. We had planned for sun and heat, but were pleased to have coolish gray humidity. I thought it might rain at any moment. It didn't. We had not taken this route before. We will do it again. More than any of my walks along the Eno, this one most reminded me of my Spring canoe trips along the same course. This trail is so close to the water, you hear it, smell it, breath it. It asks you to join it for a distance. Of my times on this water, I've written much. The words are bound in memory logs and on the bedside shelves. I did not canoe the long Eno this year. This walk begged my return. We'll see what next Spring brings.
