Cape Hattera's Lighthouse Night Climb



Earlier this July, Moose and Squirrel visited the historic light house at OBX and took the flashlight tour to the top.

Big Muskie's Bucket


Cambridge, Ohio

Squirrel visited the remains of the largest dragline bucket in Ohio.

Built in 1969, Big Muskie could move 39 million pounds of earth and rock every hour, revealing rich coal seams 100-150 feet down in southeastern Ohio. BM could swing its boom 600 feet, creeping across the landscape on four giant shoes. The immense dragline machine was churning along at full production until 1991, when power demands and other factors convinced the owners to shut down.
