Miners Memorial (Big Muskie Bucket) across Dakota Plains - Junkyardtown

Trail Overview

I started at the Big Musky Bucket in the Miners Memorial AEP Picnic area across the main road to a beautiful ridge line backroad with amazing expansive open views that remind me of traveling to the significant plains areas. The road is high-speed gravel and very wide and passes a civil war cemetery just before it dives down into the treeline and twists and turns through the AEP Recreational areas. There are plenty of hiking trails and ponds that are public fishing. This route ends at a town owned by one family, and it appears to be an open-airr private salvage yard as you head south and cross an old steel bridge over Meigs Creek.
