An old bus used as a motel room at The Shady Dell Trailer Park in Bisbee, AZ

This old bus sits as a motel room at the Shady Dell Motel in Bisbee Arizona. When Cathleen and I spotted it there with the name “Randy’s White Elephant” painted on its side, we both got the idea that I shoot this photo and post it for our good friend “Ranger Randy”. We thought he’d like it. Randy writes a blog entitled “Ranger Randy… Reflections From an Amateur Naturalist”. His recent post is entitled “Queenmakers.” If you’re interested in bees and bee behavior, check it out at this link.

Hi Marty,
Great photo – I really like how the blue from the bus contrasts with the colour from the planks in the foreground and trees in the background. Did you have a peek inside the bus by any chance?
Thank you… The inside is set up to be a motel room at the Shady Dell Trailer Park, which is a series of Airstream trailers, buses, and even a yacht up on dry dock that all serve as guest rooms for the motel.
Love the colors, and the name!
Thought you might like the name.
very cool looking bus…and that chair…
Wonderful. It looks like the bus could come to live and start talkling.
It looked like a pretty cool bus.
