Like something out of a Tim Burton or a dystopian movie. The background music just adds to the surreal ambiance.

I had thought a chain bucket on a narrow barge would be good for channel deepening work.
If I hit the lotto I might build it.
like this but smaller

This isn’t new but definitely impressive.
I’ve seen a few of these “walkers” before.
What I really connect to is the abandoned walkers/crawlers stuck in the old gold rush towns from times past.
Something about a derelict WOODEN mining machine abandoned in the middle of nowhere rotting away.
Always makes me want to just see it attempt to function as-is.
It would be cool to see the rust and dirt fall off, cables twitching, metal moaning and the cobwebs ripping as the machine once again comes to life.
In reality those old Derelict machines would just bang and let the smoke out, but a boy can dream!
I am planning a gold prospecting venture this summer. The place I have been researching for a time is a secret. I need the right weather so the river is doable. I have had some small good luck in Canada and Colorado, never any good luck in Michigan and this venture is in Michigan.
