Triva Answer

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.
