Fargo Valley City, ND, October 20, 2026 —
Ken Crowley, an Irishman pursuing a lifelong dream, is driving a yellow school bus across America. The journey is linked to Fargo through resident Jane Matejcek, who provided the converted bus Crowley is using.
Matejcek’s bus was originally intended for North Dakota State University Bison tailgating. Crowley connected with her, and the vehicle became part of his preparations for the cross-country adventure. The available information does not specify when the trip began, its route or how long Crowley expects to travel.
Crowley’s time in Fargo has included Bison tailgating, an experience highlighted alongside his preparations for the journey. The account connects that local stop with the bus’s earlier purpose: a vehicle converted for tailgating that is now being used for Crowley’s drive across the country.
The provided information does not detail the bus’s specifications, the exact preparations Crowley has made or whether anyone else is traveling with him. It also does not state which destinations are planned or when the journey is expected to end. Those details were not provided.
What is clear is the central idea behind the trip: Crowley is using a yellow school bus to pursue a dream of driving across America, with help from Matejcek and a vehicle that had been intended for Bison tailgating. His Fargo experiences, including tailgating, form part of the story of the preparations and the bus’s transition to a cross-country journey.
