Doug,

Looks like a nice change for you

Help me remember, is Devil's Hole the one you get to from Deep Creek Road that has a 4 wheel drive required sign at the top of a road that drops at about 80 degrees until you go left and then it goes to about 88 degrees as you go down to the world's deepest dead end? The reason I ask is that years back, we wanted to go on a hike with a guaranteed year-round water source. The book we used said that the stream flowed full all year long. Long story short, a 2wd Ranger meant we had to hike down. As soon as we got there the temperature skyrocketed. The only water to be found was our sweat. It was a depressing excuse for a muddy spot in a streambed. We had to hike back out going from one shady spot to the next. Once I get matching gears in the front I'd like to re-visit this place to see if I just got there on a blackout date for the water.

It sounds like you are describing the right place. I have been recreating at Deep Creek since 1973 and I have never seen or heard of it going dry?
