You two are absolutely awesome to watch. The more I watch the more I wish I was your age again and have a schoolie and touring through all the states and maybe Canada. And one more thing I have to say you two are made for each other, a great couple. Be safe and travel safe and have alot of fun.
You really just put the biggest smile on our faces 😊 Thanks so much, we so appreciate it 💚💚
I have been fascinated by these Anasazi cliff dwellings since I saw them on a View Master disk I had as a little kid. And I am now 68 years old.
Congratulations on your first year of freedom. Enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Bryan! I can't believe it's been a year already... 😅
The covered parking spots are actually solar setups. They are all over town. It only gets up in the 80’s in Flagstaff! Summer is the nicest season.
So glad you guys are up for hikes and long walks...and take us with you. Stay healthy! 😊
You two are so much fun. And the inviting smiles are nice also. Such a beautiful couple. Your children will be so cute.
“Just 3 more Steps”, 😭 as you climb out the of the canyon and into the skoolie. Congrats on the year and I really look forward to your continued journey. Your channel is really finding it’s rhythm. You are easily one of RUclips’s favorite couples just being yourselves. Cool beans!
Thank you so much for showing the cliff dwellings. I'm a disabled older woman and I've always wanted to visit them. I've seen a lot of people doing bus/van/RV upgrades park in a Home Depot style parking lot to do it. They can run in and buy everything they need, or if they're forgotten something.
I can see how that would be very helpful! We even swapped out our bus’ starter in a Lowe’s parking lot a couple months ago and that was SUPER helpful 😄
Natalie you are sitting out in the snow in a sleeveless shirt. You go girl
Happy 1 year "Take This Job and Shove it" Anniversary
Haha 😂 Thanks Pat! 💚
Our daughter, son-in-law and grandson live in Flagstaff. On the NAU faculty and she is the director of the Flagstaff Symphony. They took us to Walnut Canyon and it is very interesting. Did you see the oyster shells in the canyon rocks? Sea shell in rocks at 7,000 feet tell you something about the long history of the place. We love your videos!
Thanks again for taking us along Natalie you make me cold with the tank top Jimmie has long sleeves 😂
I learned when I lived in Alaska for a short time, diesel doesn't like the cold. They will refuse to start. My brother had an engine warmer for his truck - kept it plugged in at the house. There are things you can do if you can't plug in, but you'll have to google them because that's the extent of my knowledge! Great video - happy "quit your job" day anniversary!
Glad to see Natalie practicing her right to bare arms. 😎
The "Petrified Forest" is not that far from Flagstaff, & it is truly an amazing wonder you won't want to miss. Check it out before leaving Arizona. Safe travels.
Good for you to take time (while you're young) from the "rat race" and spend time adventuring. We began an "RV Adventure" lifestyle in 1993 and we're still at it! We worked 8 - 9 months a year and "played" at least 3 months every Winter. No regrets whatsoever! 🤗
Sure was awesome to watch. When going down and up the steps, need to life your knees high. (Feel that burning feelings. No pain. No gain). Thanks for sharing your videos. Was great. Regards
You guys have to be the cutest couple ever. I so appreciate how well spoken you both are as well. I love you guys. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Sincerely
You guys are awesome! Makes me want to quit my job, get a bus, build it and hit the road!
You are such a gentle and sweet couple. I know I can watch your channel without excess drama. And I love your Skoolie. I like the color and I think for you two it is just the right size. It seems like you can get into places with it that a full size transit conversion can't get to.
Flagstaff is also near because it’s a college town. Not far from the Grand Canyon. Enjoy your time in the BEAUTIFUL state of Arizona!!!
Congrats on 1 year of job free life. I'm now retired for 2 years, I just wish I was following you guys down the road. I really enjoy watching you 2, you are the most down to earth young couple. Because you are so young, I feel like you two are just 2 more grandkids! Keep up the great work, we are living vicariously thru you!
I love the gentle pace of your videos and I do love your bus. Looking forward to the next adventure.Take Care & Stay Safe, Hugs UK
Congrats Jimmie &Natalie on making it a hole year and your videos are really taken shape. Thank you for all of your time making them.
Hole????? Try whole.
Flagstaff is such a beautiful town and the mountains are beautiful
Happy Workiversary! I’ve followed y’all almost from the very beginning. It’s so great to see your channel grow! ❤️ Love your ☃️
Thanks Jane! We always love looking out for your comments and love that you’ve been here since the beginning! 💚
Your a luck man Jimmy Natalie is a catch. There very few practical Wenona out there don't loose her. Love all your videos. I'm only at the beginning of my build your videos give me inspiration. Thank you both
Thanks for making my Monday seem a little brighter. Just think how far you have come in motor vehicle repair. With all those cool new tools needed. Just keep it running jimmy. That is the key to success on any road trip.
We’re full time RV’rs traveling the country. We were there in Walnut Canyon last fall. Also hiked Humphrey’s Peak. Amazing hike.
Ok, snow on the ground, and Natalie is rocking off her sleeveless blouse 😂
Haha 😂 it was actually pretty warm for the first few hours!
Cool as cucumbers even in a winter storm and a non starting bus.
Most of the covered car parking lots at stores are actually solar panels that cover the cars and provide energy for the business. I saw that alot in Southern California.
Awesome... Natalie I got cold when you were wearing just a tank top downtown Flagstaff. Oh no...
Haha it was warm when we left the bus! Just not so much when we were walking back from the coffee shop! 😅
Greetings from Tucson! Those covered parking lots are usually solar paneled also, it is a great idea, but has only been implemented in the last 10 years or so. Great videos, happy 1 year busversary!
When in wooded or long drop areas it's good to keep a mirror to flash the sun to be found when lost .
Awesome work my friend 👍 new friend here 👍 Thank you very much for sharing 😊
I bought quickzip sheets for my bus. You put the fitted part around the sides one time and then zip on and off a top sheet when you need to change them. It’s amazing
I love how I just will stop my entire day to watch ur videos whenever you post. You guys are so cute and I love watching your adventures unfold! Can’t wait to see you head more north soon!! 🥰
Aw, thanks! You guys are the best!! 💚 And that's funny, we were literally just watching y'alls latest video! 😂
Wow! Thank you for sharing this informative video that we can share with our clients to give them a heads up on what to expect when they start to live on an RV 😊
Looking at that lizard so close to the edge... I wondered if he can see over the edge and get freighted a little bit...LOL
Haha I wonder 🤣 Just that section with no handrails made me nervous enough! 😅
Northern Arizona University dome stadium is pretty cool to go in to, been there many times in marching band.
Congratulations on 1 year anniversary 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Upper Antelope Canyon in Page AZ is surreal, must see.
Also, see Meteor Crater outside of Winslow right off I40. 👍👍
Home Depot is great that way, friendly and accommodating.
I spent so much money there renovating my first house that I had the urge to paint it orange 🍊 😅
Wow! A whole year already! Y’all are so sweet! Natalie, my husband of 40+ years, still leaves dryer sheets in the loads he takes out of the dryer!😘 I love this channel; y’all make SC proud! ❤️🙏🏻Jane from SC
I know! Time really does fly… 😅
And I’m glad we’re not the only ones about the dryer sheet thing! 😂
Thanks so much Jane!! 💚
Hey, thanks guys for the ride, I have a few other RUclipsrs that I follow that have been to that site. I visited the Grand Canyon in 2019 I camped just outside of Williams Arizona on the highway going to the Grand Canyon. Had a good visit there. Well, as always "Enjoy The Adventure." Later 👍😀🤠
I love watching you two! You’re so real and natural. Stay safe!
I now feel a little better about myself and all the dryer sheets I find mixed in with my laundry. I'm not the only one. LOL
Ride your bikes… you can ride your bikes around the town or down town… we have bikes too… it’s so amazing to ride them in the cities… we wanted to take our bike from New Jersey to New York City on the Fairy…. But the city was all close down to people when we where in that area… love watching u guys.. maybe we will meet up some day…. We too are heading up to Idaho Montana be we are stopping off to get some dentist work done in Mexico… God Bless u 2!
Thanks for bringing back memories. I took my parents, Who have since passed away, down those steps years ago. My mom was worried whether or not my dad could make it. They were both in their late 70’s early 80’s at the time.
She ended up being Dehydrated when we reached the bottom. The paramedics had to carry her up those steps in a stretcher.
Flagstaff never see 100 degrees, maybe 90 once or twice. Most of the cover parking in AZ is solar panels. Walnut canyon is great and if you approach from the west, it’s National forest dispersed camping.
My memory of taking a rental RV to the grand canyon is waking up to snow after a glorious sunny day. SO cold, and so unexpected!
That sounds so beautiful!! 😄💚
Already excited about the next video. Your videos always flow so well. Hope gas prices don’t discourage y’all, would love to hear your thoughts. Love from Arkansas
Yes there’s some nice forest areas outside Flagstaff. We’ve tent camped there …
Such a cute, wholesome couple.
No bad language, very articulate and with an enquiring mind.
Stay healthy, stay happy and continue to take us along on your journeys. Much appreciated! 🤗
Thanks so much! 😊💚 We’re glad your enjoying the journey and adventures as well!
I agree with no bad language, that's why I love your videos
I love your references to South Carolina. I live in Blair, not far from Irmo.
I like the paint job still ! 👍🏻
Anacortes, Wa.
I retired from my job in Yellowstone two weeks ago, I have been renovating a classic class c RV and will be heading out on the road in a couple of days. Hoping to hit (maybe but I hate crowds too) Sedona, Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon next week. Nice to follow along with you guys, I am especially interested to see Canada as it's on my list too. I've camped in that forest around the Grand Canyon dozens of times and have gotten snowed on many times in the Spring too. Enjoy!
Love you Guys, congrats on one year👍✌️Safe travels
Dual purpose on the parking covers at Walmart. They have solar panels on the roof to offset energy for the store.
I wondered about the snow in Flagstaff so I checked and it is at nearly 7,000 ft elevation.
That is higher than the highest point east of the Mississippi. No wonder there is snow there!
Another great video with a cliff hanger (very appropriate) ending.
Take care.
Those covered areas in the parking lot have solar panels on the top that work with the electric car chargers under neith the shaded area
You guys always find such neat spots to explore. Those caves were so awesome to see. I liked the looks of that cinnamon bun, yum. Natalie how can you wear no sleeves in the snow? So cold! Thanks for taking us along, it's always so much fun to travel with you guys. Take care and God bless. Louise
Today!?! You two crack me up!
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff guys
Not so sure I'd be heading northward just yet..
Yep Laundry, grocery shopping and other stuff .. am guessing sleeping in might be in that equation too
Those covers over parked cars at Walmart are not only shaded parking but Solar panels on the roofs
I can sure see why! Our solar has kept our batteries topped off ever since we entered AZ! 😄
Huge CONGRATS!
The caves have smaller doors to keep the cold out
Mmmm cinnamon buns 🤤 Nat, you look so cute in that top! Maybe your next sponsor could be a retail shop, eh??
Hope you get the bus to start. And you are coming to Canada. We just sold our house which had a great place for you to park your rig. No charge but we are out of here on the 25 th. Our new place hardly has room for our truck and car.. Stay safe and good luck with your bus.
I too left SEDONA after one day because it was crowded and saw that storm was coming in so I got out of that area and headed to UTAH which is where I will be for the next cpl of weeks.Hope everything gets sorted car issues are tge WORST. See you in the wild !!!
Great videos from great host,thanks guys
congratulation on a year of owning your own time!
Everything you shared was interesting!
Thank you for taking us along, my knees can't do that.
When you get to Canada get at least $50.00 in Canadian money, small businesses do not change money and don't miss Jasper National Park. Keep making videos we love watching your travels
Well done.
Congratulations on the hole year can’t wait for many more years to come 😀I live in Canada 🇨🇦 winters are cold and where u guys are going alberts is very cold and lots of snow ❄️ but at that said winter is just about done ✅can’t wait for next Monday 😀love watching u both are so awesome and positive people and always smiling 🙂
SC busses aren't used to snow!!! Hope it gets started!!
Congrats on a whole year of living your best life!!
You guys are awesome. I wish I could afford to travel like this. Love the videos. Keep them coming. ❤️❤️
Hey! Thanks Steve!! 😊💚
So, it got a bit cold. I know you'll figure it out okay. Thank you for the video. Stay well and happy. 🚌
If you guys go through Oregon look up Multnomah falls
Great video as usual 👍🏻🇬🇧 I could really imagine you two as teachers. Just saying. 😂
Thanks Allan! 😄💚 And that’s interesting! We haven’t heard that one before! 😂
Thanks for showing us Walnut Canyon! Have not heard of, before your showing here. 😊
Congrats on the 1 year! I love following you guys on RUclips… be safe!
Love the video! You guys do great with taping videos enjoying all the views.
The car ports are usually for Amish buggy I believe.
Another cool and interesting adventure filled video. Thanks sweets!!! Safe travels, and catch you on the flip side!!!
🍃🤗😍🍃
I do appreciate the music! Its calming! Do enjoy watching your adventures!
great episode, thumbs up
Congrats on one year!! My wife and I are building out a van to live and travel in. I hope we can have as much fun as you guys seem to be having. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I hope the bus starts!!! Ahhhh!!!
Wow! congrats on 1 year, went by fast, you are close to the meteor crater it's quite amazing. Safe travels!
Your videos are always so Interesting , thanks guys, keep making them, happy days,
Thanks for sharing your days pretty close to real time . It's super to travel "with you".
Yes agreed, city isn't for me either. Sorry your baked goods were tasting of case air. ( why they can't have just one sitting out and the rest in a sealed container for freshness boggles the mind). Hope not too much froze over and that there's no long term damage like frozen pipes.
Great video. My wife and I have had a park pass since they came out. Hard to believe the cost has gone up so much but they are well worth it and if well used, soon pay for themselves. When I turned 65, we got the senior version for a one time fee of10 dollars, good for the rest of our lives. The cost of that one has gone up as well.
Same here. We don't leave home without it!
A year already that is so cool. Wishing you two safe travels 🙂✌❤
I hope you all don’t get stuck in the snow prayers for you both!
I live in Salt Lake City UT, I’m looking forward to hearing your prospective when you come through here.
