Another great video Pete! Last year's video introduced me to Brown Mountain Beach Resort, and now it's an annual anniversary visit for my wife and I. It was good to see OG Justin again! We ran into him at the Apple Harvest Fest in Winston-Salem this past fall. The kayaking world is small in NC!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Mathew! Such a fantastic venue and yes, it is a small world!

[@craigbailey6427]

Awesome video!!!!! Thank you everyone for a perfect PFD!!!!! The lost paddle and swim I would do again today for the experience… thank you everyone….. I will bring a case of moon pies when we hit the Tellico

[@RiverKingsKayak]

[@punkrockkayaker]

Well done Craig! And bring your other boys with you! (me, damn it! LOL)

Pete that boat rescue at ten foot was excellent… nice grab!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Troy!

[@pamelafoley2078]

Poetic justice for Justin talkin trash before the race…age and wisdom over youth in the long boat race. Love it! Lol. All in good fun! I want to run this creek someday! Maybe in my next life…

[@RiverKingsKayak]

[@4JudgeSmails]

{slow clap> > > } I just have this on in the background while working and had to full-stop and watch the edit on this 10' boat snag twice. Epic thought and execution, only topped by your edit and narration, but not surprised by that. Well done sir

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks for the kind wordsTodd!! (and the slow clap!) It was such a fabulous weekend. That paddle still hasn't been seen.

[@absoluteelectricandmainten7432]

Such and awesome video! Gets me STOKED to do Wilson Creek at some point this summer!! Pete: YOU ROCK!! Your enthusiasm and encouragement of others is so infectious! I look forward to paddling down some WW with you, hopefully some time this summer. I so appreciate all the time you spend to record and share the videos you do. It has been SO HELPFUL to my getting into WW Paddling.

Saw the resort while there, any good camping around there?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yes! The entire pisgah national forest is open to backcountry camping with the exception of right along the gorge as there is a 200' camping buffer due to being wild and scenic. TONS of great camping in the area.
