Touring BIG BRUTUS!!!


After having a fabulous dining experience
at El Charro, we went to see Big Brutus.
This was the first tourist attraction that
Steve has been on with the Varner clan...
that is, if you could not tell by this first pic


We were so happy when we walked into
this part and we also learned that there
was a video for our enjoyment, running
length of 30 minutes! Notice the flow of
the line, Ryan up ahead, mom, Brian, and
bringing up the rear, yours truly Dad!


Looking at all of the pictures and reading
all about it...


It was really big- this picture can not begin
to show the size of this machine.


Steve and Brian under the wheels- I think
that is what they are called- whatever
moved Big Brutus!


This is up in Big Brutus- you could only
go to the main floor due to insurance
issues- Ryan was trying to find a way to
the top- it would have been really neat
if they still allowed people up there.


This is where Brutus stopped and is now
an attraction. The hole that it dug for
mining purposes is now filled with water
that you can not fish out of. It is stocked!


Brian and his sis


This is the bucket/scooper part of Brutus
VERY BIG!!!


This picture was not Steve's idea!


Checking out the stocked pond...


The top of Brutus


Do you get the full picture now???


This was on our way out- It looks like
Steve had a good time!


The kids... Brian, Ryan, Rebecca and Steve


This was right before we left Pittsburg -
It was a fun day!!! My favorite line of the
day was mom talking about a RV, all
of the kids and vacation all in the same
sentence...now that would be a blast!!!
