Scorpion Bend - my backyard RR

Yep. A water level is really what I was curious if anybody would know. Evidently it's more known than I thought! The dye was simply to add to the water to make it more visible from a distance. Underneath all that stuff are two boards... kind of. There are a bunch more in the shed but I pulled out two to start with. They aren't really boards. They are that new plastic, fiberglass composite stuff. I thought I'd try that for the roadbed (screwed to the treated 4x4's) since they should not rot or warp when they come in contact with dirt or water.
