A spot for the bus

Host the Bus

Got a corner of land? You can offer it a place to land.

An off-grid bus parked by a wooden farm gate at golden dusk, settled at the edge of a green field — Self-contained, near-zero footprint — it lands light and leaves the place better than it found it.

The bus moves every couple of weeks. The way that works is simple: people with a bit of room — a driveway, a field edge, a corner of a farm — offer it a spot for a stretch, and I come and park, and I bring my hands while I'm there. It's the oldest arrangement there is. You give me a place to be; I leave the place better than I found it.

What you'd be offering a spot to

An off-grid bus — its own power, its own water, self-contained. Quiet. Near-zero footprint: nothing plugged into your meter, nothing dumped on your land. One person, here to be useful, not underfoot.

The terms, plainly

It costs you nothing. This isn't rent and it isn't a transaction. You're not selling a parking space; you're extending a spot.
You don't owe me and I don't owe you. While I'm parked, I'm glad to put my hands to whatever's useful — repairs, building, off-grid systems, a hand with the work. That's a gift, not a rent payment. The circle completes through recognition, not exchange.
No vetting, no haggling. I won't ask you for references and I won't negotiate. You set what works for your land; I respect it or I move on, clean.
A spot for a couple of weeks at a time. Then the bus moves. If it's a good fit, we can always do it again.

Offer a spot

Tell me where you are, roughly when it'd be open, and anything I should know — level ground, water, gate hours, a dog, whatever matters. It comes straight to me. I read it, and if it's a fit you'll hear back with a plain yes and a next step. No form, no funnel.

Where the bus is headed

In the Grass Valley area now, moving every couple of weeks from here. The Gift Circle map shows where it is and where spots are open. If you'd rather just see what's around, that's the place.
