This is a well-known stop along the Mojave Road 4x4 adventure trail - the old bus parked in an area that was farmed (!) during the Great Depression in the late 1930's when it rained hard out there for a few years! That's Sue in the window.
In general, there is a certain fascination when an old bus is found in the middle of nowhere - apparently. That concept was made famous by Christopher McCandless' death in 1992 and subsequent book by John Krakauer "The Call of the Wild" - click here for info on the book (you should read it, and though it is depressing, it does make the point that you shouldn't be wandering the wilderness alone when you have no clue to what you are doing; RIP C. McC.). Fascinating fact: Chris McCandless was born in El Segundo, Calif., where I went to High School and my brother and Mom still live.
The bus sprouts awesome spraypaint color from the front:
Well-known saying on the hood of the bus:
"Jesus Loves You - Everyone Else Thinks your (sic) An Asshole!"
