04/09/2010:We're still traveling through Southeast Ohio and after leaving Muskingum County we went East to Morgan County and the county seat of McConnelsville. From downtown McConnelsville we continued East to Noble County - but on our way out of Morgan County, at the top of more hilly terrain, we found "Big Muskie" and had to add some more pictures to our stack....
*It weighs 27 million pounds - as much as 13,500 cars!
*It could move 39 million pounds of material per hour!
*Big Muskies is one and a half times longer than a football field!
*Nearly 10,000 acres of land mined by Big Muskie were donated by AEP to the International Center for the Preservation of Wild Animals in 1986 to create The Wilds - North America's largest open-range preserve for threatened and endangered species.
