The Abandoned Bus
I've posted about the abandoned bus on our road before, but it's been a while. And when I was out running in the snow last month I snapped a fun picture of it. You can see the old chimney. No one has lived in it in the sixteen years we've been here. It's fairly decrepit at this point.
Still, I enjoy seeing it when I pass by, and there is some part of me that hopes no one ever comes along and hauls off the bus. Even ancient as it is, it does have some mysterious charm.
Very charming and I love your photo! I now have 'Magic Bus' by The Who playing in my head, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly has character :)
ReplyDeleteOh I can imagine the stories it holds. Hug B
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the old car on the Big Sunny trail on Mill Mountain. I think the city even put a sign there like a tourist attraction.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a good chicken coop, just a little work and maybe move it up beside your house, lots of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThe incredible hulk.
ReplyDeleteI am sure kids would love to play in it.
ReplyDeleteA chimney, wow! That was some serious off grid living, once upon a time! I've thought about using a bus as a storm shelter- burying it partly...I think I saw that somewhere on pinterest, maybe. It would also make you a nice root cellar...if you have the equipment to dig a deep enough hole.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for a vintage bus - BUT I hate to think about the critters living in there! Be careful of snakes, dangerous spiders, and perhaps even larger animals!!!
ReplyDeleteHope the mountains are providing beautiful Winter scenery - we still have not had a real snow down here, and are now tired of ice storms!
Take care - hugs, Mary
Road trips are on stand by for that bus. You turned lemons in to lemonade. Appreciating it's interest instead of thinking of it as an eye sore.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember about the bus. But, wow that sounds like a country song in waiting. It does have charm. Great photo, Lisa. :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
I can't imagine someone actually living in it. That's crazy!
ReplyDeleteoh i love it...i've never seen a chimney on a bus before!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, it has a chimney? Wow, I can't imagine having a stove in there. Larry would love to get an RV someday and travel the U.S. (not gonna happen). I'll have to ask him if he'd be satisfied with this. lol
ReplyDeleteI feel the very same way about seeing it, and I'd visit it and take photos and wonder about the stories it could tell! I don't know what is about abandoned things like that, they always draw my attention in, and I'm happy for the chance of seeing them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat old bus is really charming there... Bet --if IT could talk---it would have some great stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I think it has some charm too,, kind of like art. Its kinda pretty!
ReplyDeletelove

I love it! Pictures like this make me happy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite spooky to me!
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that story "In to the Wild" out in Alaska
I like the color...it does have charm. And I'm guessing a raccoon or two uses it as their home.
ReplyDeleteI've had tea in a bus something like this one once somewhere near in between Las Vegas and Reno :-) I bet that bus has a few stories to tell...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if it served Trailways at one time. If you get a look at the brand badge on the front and Google it, you might find it. I believe it is a bus manufactured in the 1950's.
ReplyDeletenice photo..it really stands out amidst those freezing snow :)
ReplyDeleteIt's probably collectible.
ReplyDeleteThe bus looks charming sitting there in the snow. It sounds like it has definitely become part of your history (at lease for the last 16 years).
ReplyDeleteI remember when I saw it for the first time and asked Joe if I could go exploring....crazy person...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI'm always intrigued by the abandoned places. Plus what a cool old bus!
