Fairbanks City Bus 142

The Fairbanks city bus 142 was intended as a refuge for hunters and is situated about 25 miles (40 kilometers)—which roughly translates to a 12-hour hike—from the trailhead of Stampede Trail, an abandoned mining road in the pristine Denali National Park. Today it is becoming a tourist attraction and a growing problem for the locals.

The residences of Healy are joking about making the bus into a cappuccino stand now. There's even been people selling parts of the bus on eBay recently.
