Eno River State Park

Length: Two nights
Crew: Three adults, four Scouts
Day One
Backpacked about three quarter of a mile to the group campsite at Few's Ford. We had to cross a pedestrian suspension bridge to get there. Set up camp.
Day Two
Since we did not have a Few's Ford for Saturday night, we moved camp to the new Piper Creek campground at Cole Mill. We backpacked out to the cars and hiked into the campground. We were the first campers to camp at Piper Creek. Only one site had a fire ring built, so that's where we camped.
The newest Scout in the troop had a magnesium fire starter. He taught the other boys how to use it. The leaders are trying to buy their own.
Day Three
Returned to Chapel Hill.
