Yes. This page is about our Bucyrus Crawler crane. But first some notes about our Museum Volunteer Paul Smith, who Adopted our Bucyrus Crawler. Paul maintains, repairs and is the Chief Operator of our Bucyrus. When I arrived May 5, 2006 to take these pictures Paul asked me to wait a minute while he put on a shirt. While he was inside his Carson Carrera Toy Box Paul asked me if he should put on his wig. I told him that was his choice. Paul is a Full Time RV'er, living with his new Harley Motorcycle, a Honda Quad, and his cat, Target. Paul bumper pulls his Toy Box with his 1996 Dodge Diesel 3/4 ton 4WD pickup. Over time Paul has replaced all the original 3/4 ton axles, springs, etc with one ton versions.

First five pictures Greg Hayden. Above right: October 3, 2005 David Denny picture of Paul updating Myrna Bagge on his recent travels. You can see Pauls new Harley Scoot behind Myrna. Myrna is sitting in Pauls one and only Guest Chair, while he perches on his stairs.
