    There’s a new reroute at Wilson Ridge that is (currently) not signed but is blazed. A new sign is pending. I was told you have to “walk slowly along the Wilson Ridge Rd” if NOBO to see the blaze. It’s a 0.4 mile trail that dumps you at the Rock Creek ford and cuts off 4 miles of the WR loop. This is where you deviate from the KY trail.

    I thought that angry man was going to come out and shoot me. I was scared but turning around and walking back up the hill scared me more.
