At a farm in Wisconsin. Farm is big, but looks like it only houses large equipment.
RC car course
This. The ramp is a giveaway.
I’m sorry, I’m new here. What ramp?
The right side of the picture has a large dark rectangular slope
If you hadn’t said it it wouldn’t have been so obvious to me
Yup. It’s a nice one too. Not surrounded by fence and trees and junk
RC
remote control?
WAY too small.
There are various size classes
Speculating, but maybe a runoff pond/detention basin?
Looks like the asphalt slopes toward it which would direct stormwater into it. There’s also no gutters on the building in the back, so that water would just hit the pavement and run off. There’s also a pump-looking gizmo in the lower-right corner that appears to have a discharge hose going away from the structures on the property.
Or for propane tanks. They need to have an area underneath to catch the gas if they star leaking. And the bumps can be some kind of foundation for putting the tanks. It looks like it could hold two tanks next to each other.
But why the humps and the ladder?
I mean, the steps could be a safety device if you fell in since there’s no safety rails around it. The humps are probably just sediment buildup.
Again, I’m speculating, but I’ve seen those kinds of basins before.
I’ve seen them too but never with humps and a ladder
It looks DIY, so I’m willing to accept the ladder. The humps are a bit of a mystery, but from the look of the dirt between the asphalt and the pond, I can see them being sediment buildup from the runoff. Not sure why they’re in those configurations, though, but that’ll have to remain a mystery for someone else to solve lol.
Probably just ordered too much gravel and put it somewhere and ended up with the humps. I agree though, looks very DIY.
Speculation but: Children.
If you have something that looks like a pool they’ll go swimming.
The ladder gets them out and the humps give them a place to stand in the middle to keep their heads above the water line. Their arms get tired very quickly.
It just doesn’t jive at all for me. The humps are too clearly arranged and purposeful.
I was thinking the same. It looks like gravel.

The element that makes me think no one has gotten it right are the stairs. People enter and exit this when it is full.
I am willing to wager internet points that this is for washing or fluid based differentiation of materials. The dividers structure would be some form of flow distribution control or cleanup system.
Looks like it would be a fun RC car playground.

One of the major problems with pattern recognition is that is only recognizes patterns it already knows.
It is not either of those two things based on the ladder and vent like thing at the end.
So no way out for the archeologs? They supposed to dig their way out?
Could be a hog house sewage slurry lagoon, I see what looks like a pump out on the far right corner. I’m not sure about the humps on the bottom, but they might control the current to avoid a whirlpool effect when pumping out the pond. Just guessing here.
This is almost certainly it. I agree those lumps on the bottom look intentionally designed to prevent sloshing when filling the pond
Yep it’s a slurry lagoon aka as a stinking shit pond. Since it’s unlined it leaks massive quantities of nitrates into the soil and water table.
The lumps in the sand are where they bury the bodies
Fat tire skateboarding
Considering it’s in Wisconsin, my vote is a DIY ice skating rink with the waterproof bottom removed for the summer
The subject of Mouserat’s greatest hit.
Leech pit.
No, not that kind.
The kind where they keep leeches.
Mass grave
The Mines
BMX maybe?
To small. It’s a track for RC cars.
Yeah, that makes more sense
Parcour-pitfighting, Dana White’s newest blunder.
