Man hunts for missing Roughrider bus that is his home
For Martin McLeod, finding a 1961 bus that was converted into a motor home, painted green and white and covered with Roughrider decals is more than looking for memorabilia. The bus is his home.
McLeod had the bus parked at a rented acreage near Sturgeon Lake and had just finished paying off the cost of the bus when it went missing.
“This is where I was sleeping. They got everything I own, everything. Hunting rifles, they’ve got bows. They’ve got everything that I own. I’ve got the clothes on my back and that’s it,” he said.
The bus is a 1961 Coachline but its previous owners raised the roof on it, winterized it, and installed a kitchen, turning it into a livable motor home. Inside are also five binders of papers detailing all the work that has been done to it.
