Tuckasegee, East Fork

Super fun run and the write-up above is well done. We hit it on 11/16 the day following 3' of rain in the area and the Rock Bridge stream gauge was around 2.1 or so (best guess) when we were there --- and felt that that could be called 'low'. After paddling/walking the lower parts of Greenland Creek in, from the confluence with Panthertown Creek it took us 3 hours to make the run on the Upper East Fork of the Tuckaseegee proper. No one had seen it before, so there was a bit more scouting than would have been otherwise. Everyone reluctantly passed on the big slide but wished it had a bit more water in it. FYI, there are a few more big drops down from Rock Bridge before the Tanasee Reservoir that I've hiked but it was before I thought about kayaking much. That land is private. Wonder if anyone has run 'em. The footbridges crossing Greenland Creek and Panthertown Creek aren't old anymore, but are brand new wooden affairs, and still have that 'new bridge smell' (not kidding).
