This week I believe I'll present a few images of a bus I saw abandoned in a field on my route to Waco a few months back. Maybe I don't have enough to do, or perhaps just a penchant for irrelevancy, but something like this always makes me wonder. How does something like a bus find its way to a place like this? What did the person putting it here intend to do with it? Did it get there on its own power or was it towed? If it was towed then to what purpose; why has it just been allowed to sit there and deteriorate? If it was intended for junk or parts, why hasn't it been stripped? Was it all part of a project that just turned out to be too much?

I am sure you have seen "Texas Chain Saw massacre" or "Hills Have Eyes", When I see abandoned vehicles I always think of that kind of situation.
This but obviously is 1960's model. I might have been a victem of accident or as you said for junk parts

@Amir: Absolutely --though I haven't seen the original of "The Hills Have Eyes." I keep meaning to pick it up, but I watch so many movies I haven't made this one a priority.
The thing I wonder about with this bus is this: if it had to be towed somewhere, why not to a junkyard, or "bus cemetery" ?
By the way photo is awesome
Excellent capture-what a tresure of a find!

@vasa: I think so too. I looked at it both ways. I liked it in color but I liked it better in B&W.
Great shot. Abandoned, lost, forgotten....and discovered.
