Free Seats
Uploaded: October 16, 2009
The day that I went out to find some fall colors I also found this old rusty bus abandoned at a trailhead. I know there has to be a story connected but I don’t know what it is, so I imagine all sorts of fun things. It is interesting to note that it has all the colors of fall.
