Weephole:
Opening left in a retaining wall (revetment, cribbing) to
allow groundwater drainage.
Undulating Trail: One that follows a wavelike course,
often going in and out of gullies.
Tread Creep: When the loose soil of the trail tread moves
(sags or slides) down the side of the hill because of erosion
or use.
