11c	W	Fork Ridge Trail - Rough Creek Trail	1.80	3	Other	This is along the creek coming North to South before you ascend Big Frog from the the North. I have been here twice and it is difficult to figure how to cross the creek and go up Big Frog. Is it at the old culvert which is lying in the creek? I know that this is when the trail enters Big Frog Wilderness and you are not allowed to post the proper blazes. This is the only part of the trail I have done. I`d like to help the BMTA in any way possible.	2007-12-05
