alongside a georgia highway, we were looking for a stand to buy peaches when we came across an amazing sight - a line of graffiti-clad old school buses.
it was part of an auto mechanic shop and we went up and asked if we could have a look. a rather crotchety man with a heavy southern drawl directed us back out to the highway and a path you could take to walk up along the row. he very sternly warned that we shouldn't try to go beyond the row of buses or climb on them in any way. we assured him we wouldn't.
it would have been impossible to do so anyway, as they're very well blocked-off in between. there are multiple warnings to stay off, so it's not the most welcoming place.
there are some cool old cars up on top as well - i suppose to add discouragement for climbing them.
i don't know the story of it, as i think it's primarily a working mechanic & junk yard and only incidentally a bus graveyard, but it seems like proper graffiti artists were involved in painting the buses. at least some of them.
the starkest warning was one about snakes. i'll admit that worked on me and i didn't want to get too close to the buses.
it's quite a large area and it would have been cool if they'd had an observation tower you could climb up to get a better view.
i couldn't help but include this shot of this really cute guy i saw there. gotta love that scruffy beard.
