Honorable mention:

Hot take time.

Also the exterior.

Counterpoint: They’re an ideal car for 30MPH windows-down cruising around Yellowstone while bumping tunes and sinking into the velour bench seats. Until you accidentally lock your keys in the trunk, not that I’d know anything about that.

Oh, that’s hilarious. I didn’t realize it was him; now I have to go back and re-watch the whole series, not that I really needed an excuse.

Jens Adamssen?

It sounds interesting, at least. Hopefully there will be more coverage here for the game than just this.

I’m 98% sure that it’s using a Wayne school bus body. They have very distinctive A-pillars.

No need to apologize! The whole state is a mess of mostly-abandoned military, mining, hunting, homestead or pipeline access trails, and at a certain point they all sort of look and sound alike. :)

Bring back the Mexi-Nuggets, you fucking cowards.

It’ll be out of fuel before then.

Pops has a 2007 F-250 without AC. No big deal 99% of the time. The other 1%? It’s rough, man.

It was originally an access trail for an early 1900s antimony mine (Stampede mine) out at Kantishna, which sits within what is now Denali National Park. The bus was brought in during an effort in 1961 to re-clear and widen the trail to move more equipment in from Lignite Creek, which was just north of Healy.

It was partially driven and partially pulled behind a bulldozer (after it busted the drive axle) to serve as rough housing for some of the people working on cutting an access trail to a mine. The land in that area is a mix of gravel and forested dirt, so it’s actually not as crazy as it may first sound. The Stampede…

Ewe wood think sew.

I understand and can appreciate why UAF wanted to take the bus for its museum, but my personal opinion is that it should have been fully crushed and scrapped. It shifted from a remote curiosity to a beacon for stupidity a long time ago, endangering not only misguided tourists, but also the people sent out to rescue or…

I don’t think that’s necessary in this case.
