Gully Washer
Once again, Monte Sano is a limestone mountain. There are a couple of bogs on the top but virtually all the water runs off the rest of the mountain in a hurry. Even Cold Spring — which feeds this creek — dries up to little more than a trickle. But when it rains hard? It gives a whole new meaning to "gully washer". All the detritus of winter gets washed into the valleys. The creek beds return to solid slabs of limestone.
