[TheForge] big digger OT

[Jerry Smith]

Bob,

I live in the area where this was a common site, now
we have a freeway markers, where the Big Muskie Bucket
is now parked and historical societies trying to buy
the last of the big beasts. The problem is with the
historical societies have no money and the scrap value
is very good at this point.

Where people say there are from BFE, well I live 20
miles further away, south of Egypt Valley.

Jerry
