Its been awhile since ive had a chance to work up at the bus. Since I had multiple vehicles to remove on the same lot we quit the bus into the weather cleared up some. Having done that has helped us out some but the bus is still stuck the way it was when we last touched it. I had another junkyard go look at it yesterday and he had the same problem as us how do you remove it in one piece without tearing up the yard. We will be trying to get permission from the property owner behind where the bus is sitting so we can cut some trees and back the rollback up to the bus and pull here out that way.
Since we did make a little progress below are some images of the vehicle we removed from the woods there today. The van was a 1963 Ford Van, rusted out, no engine or transmission and the rear axle fell off when being loaded on the road side. It was 50ft into the woods off a dirt road upside down, and crushed on one side as can be seen in the images. The entire van was rusted out from front to back. I gave the van to another junkyard but with steel being at $0.007 cents per pound (yes you read that right its under $0.01 cent per pound here in Northern Maine for incomplete vehicles), it made more since to have someone else haul it out then to mess with it myself.
Below are the images of the van I have more and will upload them when I get them (there on my phone but I dont feel like waking Raven to have her send them to me). I also have a few short videos of the removal process.
