That’s the stuff..I don’t ride anymore but still have my downhill and slalom rigs.
Cool. My skating days were eons ago but the Maryhill Loops are an easy drive from here and even the practice days are super fun to watch.

Next installment in the ongoing saga of the RR tie retaining wall...

Almost done with the excavation. The dark stuff is clay. It's sticky like tar when it's wet and tough like asphalt when it's dry. The white deposits are chalk. It's pretty much like rock. Those are rogue blackberries growing on the slope to my right. They don't care how shitty the soil is.

Finally, the excavation is complete. Time to start installing the RR ties. In the foreground, I removed one row of partial tiles to get a nice clean edge. Part of the first course of RR ties will rest on the concrete slab.

Spent a lot of time with photography years ago. Spent days in darkrooms and such but haven't taken a "photograph" in a while. Probably should buy a new camera sometime.
