Thanks, OTTO. It isn't really running, maybe just seeping, if that is in fact what is happening. I'm hoping it is more like wind induced evaporation. The surface of the spot is not even muddy, just mushy. It could in fact be that all the water running off the surrounding area is funneled down the back of the levee at the base? I will have to wait and see during some dry spells to make a better assesment.
