We rode to Newark Ohio and stopped at the Longaberger basket companies headquarters which is in the shape of a 7 story basket!

Longaberger Basket Co H.Q. in Newark Ohio, 7 stories. The handles are heated to prevent Ice buildup.

After Newark we headed south east to visit what is left of "The Big Muskie" the worlds largest dragline shovel. Big Muskie was cut up for scrap but the consevationist managed to save one of it's buckets. The one in the picture is actually about 1/2 the size of the largest bucket.
