You'll find the locations of two already entered in the discussion topic. The one on Bradley Fork, in the Smokies, is beyond the end of the trail that goes along the main stream. Before it heads downhill sharply to the campsite, look for an abandoned trail that heads along the contour to the left. It's a constructed trail, well-graded, but grown over with trees and rhodo. You can follow it, with difficulty, for at least a mile. The chestnut rampic is not far from the campground, and you'd probably find it without finding the trail if you explore the woods up the valley from the campsite. Dan
