Default Backyard crawler course suggestions...?

Getting back into the sport after a long absence (raced Kyosho Optima 4wd back in the day). I want to build a backyard crawler course for scale rigs - I have 2 acres and a tractor with a backhoe that are begging me for a track

Where are the best resources and track designs to be found?

Thanks in advance,
Ben

2 acres and a backhoe?! man, i wish i had problems like that!

just watch scale crawling vids from ANYWHERE... all you need is a pile of rocks and make it look as natural as you can.

ok smiggin folly is pretty cool with the scale buildings and stuff, but that's like... well you could do it with 2 acres but for people with smaller yards that place is like the Disneyworld of backyard crawling!
RC Sparks on youtube has a decent course. not sure how natural or scale it looks.

i have a small section along my back fence that i plan on using. seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jKHav7QxWw (I'm standing about in the middle of it, lengthwise)
its an elevated planter, and when its done it should look like a side-scrolling video game haha imagine Mario bros, but with tiny trucks! (and way better graphics)

I'm thinking of doing some sort of "hardscape" in a corner of my yard. I only have a tiny city lot to play with, though.
