At ‘Dig This,’ Ordinary Folks Test Their Skills in the Seat - ENR | McGraw-Hill Construction

Description:
Some people buy Harleys or Mustangs to cope with the routines of daily life. Now, they can get out their aggressions by playing with much bigger and louder machines at a 10-acre “jobsite” in Steamboat Springs, Colo. The place is turning heavy tools into toys by giving ordinary folks the opportunity to test their skills on excavators, dozers and skid-steers. The idea offers a hands-on opportunity to business owners looking for an alternative to the traditional ropes-course retreat, or just weekend warriors.
