Climbing up Chestnut I came upon this site just off the trail:
A cool campsite I was not aware of and a new trail out the back of the site to come back and explore soon:
The location of the long gone Chestnut Fire Tower.

Back to my favorite Pisgah NE trails including the Chestnut climb, Raider Camp, Long Ridge / Yellow Buck - the Spike, it's all good!
I parked at Wilson Creek and started with a warm up on the FS road. After about 10 miles I made it to the South Harper Creek waterfall. Unfortunately someone has been riding on Raidercamp with a 4 Wheeler. There were fresh tracks for a few miles.
By the time I got to this point it was all good trail:

The Upper and Narrows of the Green then onto Kitsuma for a quick 10 mile loop
Judd, aka J-Dub and I decided since neither of us had our Green River keys, we would put in on the Upper and run it to get a nice warm up before hitting the Narrows. The Upper section was beautiful. We only saw one group of two people. A nice rain storm came through and actually had the water brown for a little ways but it cleared up and turned out to be a beautiful day.
Steven caught up to us at Chief. It was good to run into him out there.

Steven and I ran this years ago when the water was spilling over the top of the dam up rivier and this was all a long slide:
After the Green run, J-Dub and I stopped for a bite to eat in Hendersonville then I headed onto Ridgecrest for some evening mountain biking.
