It was on the North side of the Hwy off aways like in someone's yard....... near the windmills.
The word is SENICRUISER, one word.>>>D
Alex, I'd like to buy a 'C' lol
LOL! ;D ;D
hahaha :D I like RTSs myself, I guess it shows
Could I get some more details? I keep a serial number roster of surviving Scenicruisers. What state, nearest town, etc.? Will you be passing that way again? any chance of getting some photos? Would it be possble to get any contact info? owner's name, number, etc. Thanks in advance for your help.

It is in California. I saw it from highway 58 as I was traveling west towards Bakersfield. I have no idea how to get to it though because it looked like it was in someones backyard quite aways from the highway. Yes i will be traveling that way again, both tomorrow and then again on Monday. I will try to get some photos.
get the gps coordinates...
Thanks. Any info/photos would be greatly appreciated. Maybe check the nearest mile post sign on HWY 58. Take care.

It is in the NW corner of Rockhouse Rd and Left St.
Go north out of town, 58 goes almost due nother, when it swings to the left it is near there.
Jack
PS...there is anouther bus there too.
The Scenicruiser is the one with the skylights.
That is Don Fairchilds playground maybe someone could ask Don to check it out for us.
;D BK ;D
Hey Brat how you doing.
How come you haven't come by and said hi. hows the family doing.
The bus you are talking about if it is on the east side of the mountains or the Mojave side is a flex not a cruiser.
The guy does drive it from time to time. There use to be four cruisers around the Bako area but I have lost track of them.
Two of them had 12V71N's in them, one of them was from the Tehachapi area.

Hi Don ;D Ive been real busy with my mom and some personal stuff, havent even been able to work on my bus in a very long time :-[ Im kickin around the idea of putting Jakes on my bus now. $$ and time are getting freed up for me finally in the next couple months and I would like to go up north for awhile this summer in the bus, so Im getting active again. The bus I was talkin about on the east side of the moutains is on the north side of the highway. It is a good distance from the side of the highway and looked like a cruizer to me......... I do know of a white flixable (old one) in the Cuyama area..... the guy also has an old fire truck, did have a gillig and often has different toys out front.
Is this the red/white/silver one that was for sale a few months ago? Apple Valley rings a bell.
the one you are talking about is silver and black.
Don
Okay I got photos. It still looks like a scenicruiser to me from a distance anyway. The photos are on my phone and I cant upload them. If someone gives me their # I could send them. It is 16 miles east of Tehaccipi. I got photos of the mileage markers too. And the bus is white and turquoisish. I have no idea how to get to the actual house where it is at though.......
Just for fun, google map it, you'll see how to get there, and maybe there is even a street view of it. You can also post the link here once you have found it....all in the name of bus science of course.
Good idea!! Unfortunately, there isnt a street view (or if there is, I dont know how to get it) But this is the link that shows the area http://maps.google.com/maps?q=tehachapi+ca&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Tehachapi,+CA&gl=us&ei=QX3qS7SAPIfesgO6k835Bw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CCIQ8gEwAA (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=tehachapi+ca&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Tehachapi,+CA&gl=us&ei=QX3qS7SAPIfesgO6k835Bw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CCIQ8gEwAA) I think it is on Rockhouse Rd

Shows up as a map then shifts to street view...give it a sec. or two.

That looks like a Flxible VL100
Bryan
Yeah, that's definitely a Flx. Nice photo, considering the source.
That is it, but it has a different paint job on it now and has been moved to a different position. But the roof line looks the same and it is at the same location
