Evacuating Skooliepalooza | EVERYONE Has to Leave

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Just wanted to say thank you to @Lectric eBikes for reaching out and hooking us up with such awesome eBikes! They are honestly a total game changer for us 🚲 If you want to check out Lectric eBikes, here's our referral code: bit.ly/3ucjhnP Hope everyone is having a great week! 😊💚

[@sum2automation]

I'm reminded that absolutely everything in life is in motion and nothing ever stays the same on old planet earth. Good to see everyone having fun and making some good times. Thanks for sharing!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it! 😊 I guess this is just another example of why it's so important to stay flexible, especially living on the road!

[@lindacanaslee9909]

Natalie, I love your smile. Just warms this grandma’s heart. You and Jimmy make a sweet team.

[@briandavis9975]

Hey guys throw a clear coat with peril in it that will help it pop the green you have is a timeless classic color it will be around long after your playing with you future grandchildren, just saying and for fun put a fancy belt line color to complement the green. Looks like you guys had some fun there and that's what it's all about hope to meet you someday out on the road.

[@mcooper5929]

Met you for a minute Nice to see you there. I moved across the road because of the crowded situation.

[@DannyA3579]

For the love of G-d…provide a PO Box where we can ship you some shredded cheese…or some good quality cheese and a grater. You two crack me up. Really enjoy your videos.

[@jerrywestin3447]

I just started watching you guys! What a cute couple! You guys are funny! When you said you had to set up! And this was all you had! Priceless!

[@melissafields6628]

This is such an amazing video. I just saw this for the 1st time today. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories of that caravan. Had so much fun that year despite the move. It really showed how amazing the nomad community is. P.S. I was the more experienced person Jimmy was referring that showed you the way. In the white shuttle bus with the yellow stripe & generator on the back. ;) Hope to meet y'all out there in 2024!!!!!

[@ramouz4790]

I've been solo traveling in my Skoolie for 2 months now from the East coast now currently in TX, haven't had a chance to jump on a caravan yet and meet other Skoolies :') Can't wait to find my peoples!

[@marksmith203]

Keep the green! Name it "No Big Dill".

[@meredithheath5272]

That IS interesting!!! There are so many different types of "rigs" - large/small; older/younger; more fancy/ diy.... Fantastic types of friendly - and talented people - dogs! Glad that not all are actually skoolies, but everyone is accepted! Nice verbal description and narration throughout this video!! (Hopee you don't mind - Jim's teeth are fabulous!) (How did you two meet?!)

[@SeekingDiscoveryBus]

So much stress to get out quick. Hopefully, I can make it out next year!

[@mikemanjo2458]

Hey guys...don't y'all have the TV that folds down into your counterttop? I was thinking y'all did that. Tiffin has come out with a "new" design using that. I think they owe you some money for taking your idea! (Jane in SC)

[@Thisoneguyinaz]

This was an awesome video! I bet you almost wanted to play the old song Convoy haha! So cool to see these different events in AZ! 😎✌️🌵

[@annchapman8495]

I was hoping e-bikes would get a whole of you to sponsor their bikes, that is so awesome for you, now you don't have to walk everywhere, super dooper. Love your channel, and I hope you get your decals.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you! We are LOVING our new ebikes! Working with Lectric has been awesome 😄

[@peggyfrese526]

I love the bikes. They look like so much fun!! Looking forward to next week and more adventures.

[@drewbdavis1927]

Hi from Quartzite!WOW... Great video! Interesting and makes me wish we had known about this event. Don't have a skooley but think we might look into them. Have a great get together!!! Will keep following your channel for sure!!! 😁

[@Wayoutthere]

Heh, this does not even come close to real chaos. For Skoolie life, when you can get kicked out any moment, this is simply 'Tuesday' :P

[@doingitwithnothing]

Congrats guys you made it… enjoy

[@skooliemom]

I was disappointed we are still working on our bus, I really wanted to attend this year. It's great that everyone was able to relocate. I love the e-bikes, we have scooters. We are thinking we will have to have a vehicle because we have 2 kids..neither of us wants to drive a separate car though.

[@rodladd5231]

Yall would be fun to hangout with i will be there one day hopefully

[@Tussse]

First of all love your videos, and just have to say english is a fun language. And as it is my second as a Swede that might explain a bit of my confusion as I read about this video and the worlds longest caravan and was thinking a caravan at a skoolie event, weird..... for me a caravan is the house on wheels you tow behind your car..... :) but this might be a more British word and meaning of it....

[@paige6028]

I seen Paul The Breadman Trucker post the evacuation. Too bad it was better planned & permits obtained but at least y'all had a 2nd location. Enjoy!

[@michaelputz4694]

YES! Cheese should be a noun! That was cute... 🙂

[@cultivateyourcurves1711]

Really enjoy watching your video , sorry everyone had to move. Skooliepalooza looks amazing!! I’m hoping I’ll be done with my bus, and can visit next year.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Jimmy was such a gentleman, giving you the umbrella for shade😉.

[@mikemanjo2458]

I'm so excited Lectric Bikes sent you some bikes! I hope y'all love them as much as we do! I was so hoping they'd send them to you! Jane from SC ❤️ and prayers 🙏.

[@whateverworks1601]

Skooliepalooza looks really fun. If everybody puts in for the permit would the government stop interrupting? Nomad or not this world revolves around greed. I love seeing revived buses accommodate this millenial❤lifestyle and staying out of the landfills. Thanks.

[@johnbrattain9833]

That's California for you!!!

[@deborahashaw6044]

Have Fun & Be Safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@koospretorius2922]

Hi Jimmy and Natalie see you met Knapp time

[@jamesblair4454]

I really enjoy watching your videos, how was the Ramen?

[@Yvonneb_]

Enjoy xx

[@farmvibesplus2058]

I was going to ask if anyone went with campers. We bought a camper 2 yrs ago, and would love to go to an event such as this. Hope everything turned out ok. Enjoy!

[@marilynnarnold811]

Grater.....Strainer...LOL

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff guys

[@mariahorsfield76]

Wow u got the bikes that’s awesome

[@OmegaWalple]

I hope you guys got to tour some awesome vehicles while you were there... do you not have a flat cheese grater? It seems to be a downer that they had to move Skooliepalooza and without notice, I went and searched it out, there was nothing other than content creators making videos that park rangers and police kicked people out of the first spot.

[@WhaleBalm]

Indo Mie is the bee's knees

[@jasonpowell4847]

I need to do This!

[@jim87vette]

Maybe you guys could organize next year's event 🤔?

[@cindyfreeman9642]

I hear Arizona has a lot of cheep property for sale

[@acefire4050]

Biggest caravan that I know of was 5,000 so you have a small caravan of course at 5,000 caravan and it being 50,000 so yeah you're a really small and it was problem is we new them all.

[@cboyle707]

I think your bus looks fine. Some artwork on the outside would make all the difference. Green is pretty.

[@ELaine-hq2ge]

How cool!! Thad is our son!! His dad and I are very proud of him and his awesome work! Watching from Indiana.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

That is so awesome! He actually just made our decals today and they look great! ❤️

[@ELaine-hq2ge]

@@JimmyandNatalie We messaged him and told him about your video and that you were looking for him. He said he finally met you both and said how nice you both were. Enjoyed your video! Keep safe and be aware of people and your surroundings. Unfortunately, some people are just no good.

[@Skooliepalooza]

Not easy having to relocate at last minute, thanks for being adaptable. Don't put too much faith in rumors and enjoy the rest of the event!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We certainly will! We are having a blast at the event and honestly enjoyed the experience of moving. Everyone was working together so smoothly and it was quite the bonding experience 😄 We’re looking forward to the rest of the week as well!

[@tlhod3409]

You can't change your bus colour! I was watching another video and actually said outloud...to myself...'Hey! That's Jimmy and Natalie!' as you drove by. Your bus colour is now part of your image :)

[@fliegenuss]

I'm so sorry I wasn't ready for this year's event ... WHAT an adventure!! You two are freakin' adorable and have SUCH great attitudes. See ya on the road later in the year!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you so much, and there's always next year! See you on the road! 😄

[@meredithellenn]

I love that every day you have a “mission” but you’ve grown in your flexibility and going with the flow. It’s cool to see. Especially in a nomadic lifestyle where you can get lost in too little or too much structure.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We can definitely relate, and have learned that it's important to find balance! Thanks so much 💚😊

[@russellsandridge2635]

I just found your channel and i love how fresh and excited you both are. i am 58 and my husband is retiring and i want him to travel with me in a skoolie about the size of your. i can't wait to meet you two on the road someday.

[@michaels.8663]

That's awesome, I'm 60 and my wife and I are about to sell our house and get a bus, we're not gonna travel full time yet, but we are gonna live in it full time and I can't wait!

[@russellsandridge2635]

@@michaels.8663 I am noticing that mit isn't just for younger people. Hope to see you and your wife on one of these events Michael. Are you doing the build yourself?

[@donnanichols6838]

You had to move,....ohhhhh noooooo!!! Don't ya hate it when that happens? Well APPARENTLY not, cuz everyone is still in their happy places with smiles on their faces!!! Woo hoo!!! Your situation has triggered a flash back for me...the year 1975, the place, Galveston Texas, the event, an outdoor rock concert, ( my first concert EVER) featuring The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Montrose, and Trapeze....they moved the stage at the last minute, if memory serves, i think the first stage got flooded, and we all marched through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the new stage location. I had the worst sunburn and sore muscles of my life!!! It was an event i'll never forget!!!! Well til i forget everything, anyway, and still that might just be the last memory i lose...lol Hope the rumor was just a rumor and you're able to stay and play at schoolie palooza!!! But if it was true, im sure it probably had something to do with a mess left behind last year? These kinds of things usually generate a lot of garbage and other really yuckie things left behind, by some of the inconsiderate people of the world. ( unfortunately those louses always have to ruin the fun for everyone) ...But i know that you two are among the considerate schoolie folks!!! Love you, hope you're havin lotsa fun and SAFE TRAVELS!!! 🍃🤗😍🍃

[@genesnyder2985]

Wonder why they don’t want the big group it seems they would want the influx of money in town

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We aren't really sure either... I'd love to know the full story!

[@mikechapin6339]

Was looking at other Skooliepalooza videos and saw you drive by on Nomadic Ramblers video LOL , it at 0.53 on there video . That was really cool seeing how you guys got me watching all these Skoolie videos . LOL

[@PHILDORZR]

California allows homeless to run wild in big cities, but some campers show up in the middle of the desert and NOPE! You guys have to leave. Unbelievable.

[@Ryanoutdoors]

That would be awesome to bring my skoolie to. Great video

[@AdamandAtlas]

Jimmy reminds me of Napoleon dynamite on that ebike 😂 watching this makes us so excited for skooliepalooza next year!!! 🥰

[@o.c.smithiii2626]

To paraphrase Napoleon Dynamite, “Natalie, I brought you a delicious grass soda”

[@CharlesAnsman]

Dude, you need to take care of her, she's a keeper !

[@stevequirkcarolynbeach5602]

We love our e-bikes by Lectric. We use a tote We found at Home Depot that the bikes fit perfectly and makes it easier to load and unload the bikes. Have a great time on Your Lectric bikes!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks, that's a great tip we may have to try that! Jimmy has been getting tire track marks on his shirt from putting the ebikes away so a tote might be what we need 😄

[@JenSwarbrick1966]

I was watching 'BunnyPlaysHere' and she showed everyone having to leave as well. Also, Ride and Seek are two more of my favs so it's cool that you're all in the same group. Hopefully everything has turned out okay. I was really hoping you guys would have an amazing time at your first SKPL! That was definitely the world's longest caravan haha!

[@dewitt2079]

'cheese should be a noun' - totally agree!! 5:11

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

Hey, you made it!!!, Ok now you guys like I always say are having to much fun. I enjoyed the RTR in 2020 I meet Panda Monium and I got to meet Bob Wells and take a picture with him that was cool. I spent the winter of 2019-2020 in and around Quartzsite with my 26 foot Class C motor home. I had been on the road for 4 years and came back to Washington State. That Ramen looked good, and Jimmy I don't like spicy stuff either. Sorry you guys had to move but looks like it all worked out. Ok have fun and as always "Enjoy The Adventure." 🙂

[@tony-kj5mc]

Hi you two I think you might need to watch Gonagain 's video about Folding Ebikes A design Problem That could break your neck !!! I noticed Natalie's bike has the same type of Ebike Problem . Please Watch there video, His wife broke her ankle pretty bad because of this design problem . Gonagian is a KZbin channel , and they are a good channel to watch .

[@patireland3345]

Quite an event. Looking forward to hearing what happens in the next chapter of your meetup. Actually, your Green looks nice. It's a welcome change from School Bus Yellow. Cool to caravan with that many folks. Enjoy your stay.

[@lvmtb]

It was so nice for me Jim and my wife Charlene to visit with you at the event.and tour your bus safe travels

[@JimmyandNatalie]

It was lovely meeting you both! Thanks so much for saying hello! 😄💚

[@thecarpenters9571]

We’ve wanted to take Sojourner to Skoolie Palooza since the beginning, but we’ve yet to make it. Maybe next year…

[@angelamurphy3331]

Hi Jimmy and Natalie ! what's the weather like where you are ? Hello again from Dublin Ireland ☺️ xx

[@JimmyandNatalie]

The weather is great here in southern Arizona! It's perfect weather for jeans and a T-shirt, and it hardly rains where we are. Some days are a bit windy though! We hope to visit Ireland someday! 😊

[@jerryforeman4543]

You should paint it a gray to go with the gray, white and black motef. Circle those vans and schoolies around up!

[@louparry7721]

Hi you two! i just found you. I wish you the best and hope you are able to stay and make great memories! Take care and God bless.

[@garyleonard8495]

This is what happened to the RTR it got to big and popular. And the BLM said you will have to find another place to host you event.

[@anitavonderheid1580]

I lived in a school bus as a child, we worked with circuses, and most of the time the circus moved every day. Just one day stands. I still travel in a small motorhome, I am 77, and enjoy it very much.

[@kiriakiria9685]

Such an honestly nice couple. Good health and happiness to you both. Don't ever change ! 😘

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

Great videos as always you two. I saw another video on the evac going on and your bus was right in view of the convoy leaving. See ya in 2023 or mid 2022 on the road.

[@eloyanzaldua1889]

So why were people kicked out of the first place n why were they told if the went back to the original place they would be run off?

[@JW-jl8iq]

You guys are in my favorite part of the USA. Az rocks in the winter for sure.

[@ladytrekkeradventures8376]

Name the Bus….As I said earlier your bus was seen quite a few times in different vlogs. Its getting known quickly needs an identity. Really enjoying your journey and watching your growth in the Skoolie community. Wish I had one and maybe a future dream.

[@erinlogan9886]

So when's your wedding date?? Just curious

Stinks you all had to move. Hopefully you don’t have to leave the new old spot. That’s exciting you got ebikes!!! Those are so cool that they fold up

[@Debrajoy]

It looks like so much fun! I've been to a couple of the RTRs and then I sold my camper van but I'm ready to do my Honda Odyssey now! I would love to see some of those buses. I love your ceiling and the white cabinets! And of course that beautiful green! Maybe I'll see you there next year 💜
