  1. Now that's a mammoth shovel. What on earth (in earth?) do they use it for? I love all the pictures and posts - thanks for sharing your trip! Looking forward to more!

  2. Big B was used for Strip Mining coal. The lake in front of it is it's last dig. The lake is 2 miles long and 50 feet deep. They just left Big B at the point of his last dig...too expensive to move him anywhere. So there he sits...
