Nice walk!
I did more the Wet Fork Trail but not straight down Wet Fork itself as I believe that is dangerously steep. I followed old Indian trails that you could pick up on Google Earth straight down to Blackwater Spring. I had been talking to the park Naturalist and at the time neither of us knew if Dry Fork was walkable. It wasn’t until a bit after the hike that I found the 1900 Topo that shows the road going up Dry Fork and the Trail marked Wet Fork to the Spring.
I did find a road sign at another point, which was surreal and very cool.
