Thank you Geoff Walters for planning such a great ride for an even greater purpose!

Some things have to be seen to be believed.

Today, the Long Reach Long Riders stopped at Jesse Owens Memorial Park to visit the legendary Big Muskie Bucket, the last remaining piece of Big Muskie, the largest single-bucket digging machine ever built.

A monument to American engineering, innovation, and the people who powered generations of industry, the bucket alone stands as a reminder of the incredible scale of this machine.

It's not every day you stand next to a piece of history this big.

Built by the people who show up. 🎭

Long Reach Long Riders started with a simple idea… take care of the people who spend their lives taking care of the show.

🗓️ June 19th – June 26th, 2026

No spotlight needed. Just a community that steps in when it counts.

From load-in to load-out, from the first mile to the last, this ride is about showing up for each other.

That’s what keeps it going. 💖

Cheers to 27 years together! This last year was full of milestones—from renovating and moving into our new offices to watching our incredible team (many who've been with us for decades) keep delivering. We've helped create "enlightening" experiences, and there's even more on the way. We're thrilled by the new opportunities ahead and so grateful for everyone who’s been part of the journey.

It was truly an honor to have been a contractor for this museum.

We watched and listened in awe.

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon.

The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon. The Apollo 8 mission was the first crewed spacecraft to circumnavigate the Moon.

Yesterday, the Artemis II crew broke records for the farthest distance traveled from Earth—reaching a maximum distance of 252,756 miles from Earth during their journey. At their closest point, the Artemis II crew was within about 4,070 miles from the lunar surface.
