| Comments: | Similar to 385773. View of deep gully between areas 4 & 5, Steep Slpe Run-off Plots. A cow grazing on the fenced area, which includes the run-off and the space betwen, fell into this gully and later died. Gullies like these are the result of accelerated erosion following exceptional summer rain storms when flows of mud & rock originating on deteriorated area above move down the slope. |
