Abandoned Bus
I stumbled upon another abandoned bus! I found this one on hwy 178 just before the SC state line. The bus was located precariously on the side of a steep incline about 20 yards below what I assumed was an abandoned trailer. There was a truck out front and I drove past a few times before getting up the guts to go explore. I yelled a few times while getting out of my car to see if anyone was around. No one answered so I headed down to the bus. The bus was on a very narrow uneven 'ledge' on the side of the mountain and was propped up on the rear end with some cinder blocks and other precariously placed items, how it came to be down here I have no idea! As I neared the bus I could see it was filled with junk inside and I could see curtains on some of the windows so I yelled again wondering if it was home to anyone. No answer so I peeked my head in. The rear of the bus was packed to the ceiling but there was room to maneuver in the front albeit not much for my 6'1" frame. This clearly was home to someone at one point as evidenced by the curtains and a single power cord routed into the bus through the hood and into the cabin (which I did not notice until I looked at the pictures later on) with an extension cord running off of it from behind the steering wheel. Behind the steering wheel sat an old folding step stool and a large headboard for a bed. The peeling paints in the dashboard and all the other rusting and decaying elements made for some great shots. Hope you enjoy them! VIEW LARGE for some amazing deatil!
