Where is the bug? Herkimer's Journey Part Four

6/7/2022

By: Diana Fruh and Dylan Fruh
After a seven week absence on June 6, 2022, Herkimer now fully restored returned to his post on the May Family property along highway 115. Taking the giant Hercules beetle apart was a much simpler process than putting him back together. Over the course of several days, his larger body parts were put back in place using our backhoe and a lot of man power. Then his legs were welded and the entire structure secured.
