Write a detailed description of a dreary scene outside a forest with a trail, trees, and scrub oak.

A steep gully leads down from the road, its banks lined with gravel to prevent erosion during the sudden rainstorms that sometimes drench both forest and road. At the foot of the gully, a trail leads off between some scrub oak trees and honeysuckle vines that have reclaimed some of the land cleared by the road builders.
