Was this bus abandoned by some hippies? How did the bus get there, and how did he find it? Those old school buses were cheap to buy.

It was a former Fairbanks city bus, towed there decades earlier for a construction camp and then abandoned. I think it was later used as a hunting shelter.

Old school buses were a big counterculture thing in the 1960s.

When I was growing up, I used to watch the Partridge Family and I would fantasize about the Partridge Family bus coming to my house to pick me up and put me in the band. I even penned a fan letter to Rueben Kincaid back in 1971 (I was 9 years old) asking him to put me in the band - because I was a way better drummer than that Chris kid.

In response to my letter, I got a thank you note and an 8x10 glossy of Keith Partridge (David Cassidy). Yuck. I would rather have had one of Susan Dey.
