Miners Memorial Park (Big Muskie) McConnelsville Ohio
First off, the Big Muskie Bucket is Huge! It's located inside Miners Memorial Park in McConnelsville Ohio. The park is beautiful as well, however the bathrooms are not (a little fyi for you, go before you get there) But it is a rather beautiful place and there is another park with a playground not far from it. They have really fun educational facts set up about the Big Muskie and what it was used for throughout the park. Beautiful area to stop by and visit.

The Big Muskie Ohio Bucket Story- Largest!
The Big Muskie was the world's largest dragline. It was built by the Central Ohio Coal Co. near Zanesville in 1969. It took two years to complete. A huge metal bucket large enough to hold two Greyhound buses side by side. The main part however tried to be preserved did not survive. It was scraped.
Here is that story.
A sad day for thousands of people worldwide who had worked for months and raised many thousands of dollars to preserve this giant piece of history and promising tourist attraction...
Although a scrapping contract had been awarded and internal scrapping had been progressing for months, negotiations have also been underway with AEP to preserve the Big Muskie. In the midst of negotiations, all hope suddenly ended however on May 20, 1999 when the contractor Mayer-Pollock Steel Corporation made their decision to use high explosives to cut the 5 inch cables holding Big Muskie's mighty boom up. The boom crashed to the ground in a twisted mess, completely eliminating any hope of preservation.
This huge bucket is still on display near McConnelsville Ohio.

The Miners Memorial, definitely an interesting site to explore. The road through the AEP is newly paved and fun to drive

Shelly S.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Awesome Idea
American Electric Power had an excellent idea when they came up with this concept. Located outside McConnellsville, Oh the AEP campgrounds are free with permit and waiting to be enjoyed.
Outdoor enthusiasts who don't need any frills will love this area of ReCreated wilderness. The campground is completely basic, some sites with, some without fire rings and picnic tables. If you have the opportunity check out all these sites, each is a little different.
Knowledge is power:
AEP American Electric Power
McConnelsville, Oh
Offers The Wilds; 10,000 donated reclaimed land where wildlife species reside. Tree farms, hydro plants and deer hunting. Then there's the free camping with permit, horse trails, bike trails and dog training areas.
AEP not only ReCreated Land that was stripped mined, they made it an out door enthusiasts playground while conserving and putting things back better then they were. Check out their site online for more information and permit printing.

Lockheed P-2 Neptune
The Lockheed P-2 Neptune was a Maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft. It was developed for the US Navy by Lockheed to replace the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon, and being replaced in turn with the Lockheed P-3 Orion. Designed as a land-based aircraft, the Neptune never made a carrier landing, although a small number of aircraft were converted and deployed as carrier launched stop-gap nuclear bombers which would have to ditch or recover at land bases. The type was successful in export and saw service with several armed forces.

Big Muskie - The Largest Walking Dragline Ever Built
Standing 22 stories tall and weighing 13,500 metric tons, Big Muskie was the world's largest dragline and the biggest machine that has ever walked on the face of the earth. With the boom down, it was almost 500 ft in length. Big Muskie was a coal mining Bucyrus-Erie dragline owned by the Central Ohio Coal Company. It removed more than twice the amount of earth moved during the construction of the Panama Canal. Its bucket could hold two Greyhound buses side by side.
I was talking to a guy in a bar in Fort Stockton,Texas in 2001. When I told him I was from Ohio he said he just came back from Ohio. He was on a crew that was cutting up Big Muskie. He said he was there a year outside of Zanesville. He was surprised that I never heard of Big Muskie. I was surprised when he said it took a year to cut up. Here's why.....

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) is an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he had previously been a Congressman, Ambassador and Director of Central Intelligence. During his career in public service, he was known simply as George Bush; since 2001, he has often been referred to as George H. W. Bush, Bush 41, or George Bush Senior in order to distinguish him from his eldest son, George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States. He is the nation's oldest living president and vice president, as well as the longest-lived American president in history.
A scion of the Bush family, he was born in Milton, Massachusetts to Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Bush postponed his university studies, enlisted in the U.S. Navy on his 18th birthday, and became the youngest aviator in the U.S. Navy at the time. He served until September 1945, then attended Yale University. Graduating in 1948, he moved his family to West Texas, where he entered the oil business and became a millionaire by the age of 40 in 1964. Soon after founding his own oil company, Bush became involved in politics and won election to the House of Representatives from Texas' 7th district in 1966. In 1971, President Richard Nixon appointed Bush as Ambassador to the United Nations, and in 1973, Bush became the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The following year, President Gerald Ford appointed Bush as the ambassador to China and later reassigned Bush to the position of Director of Central Intelligence. Bush ran for president in 1980 but was defeated in the Republican primary by Ronald Reagan. Reagan chose Bush as his running mate, and Bush became vice president after the Reagan–Bush ticket won the 1980 election. During his eight-year tenure as vice president, Bush headed administration task forces on deregulation and fighting the War on Drugs.
In 1988, Bush ran a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as President, defeating Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis. Foreign policy drove the Bush presidency: military operations were conducted in Panama and the Persian Gulf; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later. Although the agreement was not ratified until after he left office, Bush also signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which created a trade bloc consisting of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Domestically, Bush reneged on a 1988 campaign promise and, after a struggle with Congress, signed an increase in taxes that Congress had passed. In the wake of a weak recovery from an economic recession, along with continuing budget deficits and the diminution of foreign politics as a major issue in a post-Cold War political climate, he lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton.
Bush left office in 1993. His presidential library was dedicated in 1997, and he has been active—often alongside Bill Clinton—in various humanitarian activities. With George W. Bush's victory in the 2000 presidential election, Bush and his son became the second father–son combination to serve as president, following John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Bush's second son, Jeb Bush, served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007.
AEP ReCreation Land BUCKEYE TRAIL- DUDES ADVENTURES
Come along as I backpack a section of the Buckeye Trail in the AEP ReCreation Land, Ohio.
Spent night 1 at Camp H (low temp of 20 degrees Farenheit).
Spent night 2 at Camp K (low temp of 28 degrees Farenheit).
Did some outdoor cooking, hammocking, backpacking, and lollygagging.
I hope this helps anyone wondering about the AEP ReCreation Land area and Buckeye trail. I also hope it helps inspire someone to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy the video.
