ALL The Updates | Bus Name, Painting Our Skoolie, PLUS Where We’re Going Next!!

[@claytonvogel1252]

As a retired painter. Use a good brush an it would of covered easier.

[@cheriebartels5498]

My husband and I have watched you two since you were in the middle of your build. We are in the middle of our own skoolie build. When I heard what you named your bus, I outloud said, "Awww! That's perfect!" I don't know why but it made my heart so happy! I just had to let you know. Congratulations on naming your bus. And blessings to you in your new adventure heading to Canada! We'll be watching! 😃

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Aww, thanks so much!! We think so too, and we love that you can share our excitement! 💚😊

[@jeffhorn1341]

I've lived my entire life near the west coast. You are close. See the sun SET over the ocean not rise... If you go north to Canada via I5, stop and see some of the camping parks around the Puget Sound. Maybe even put "Sugaro" on a ferry to camp on an island. YOU GO

[@montgomerymick]

Hi Jim and Natalie You could always name you bus, Mantis Saguaro. Quiet catchy. All the best and happy travels to Canada. Monty

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

It would have been great to paint those lines on the outside of the bus with reflective paint. It would look cool at night. I like the name you chose but you need a black silhouette of a saguaro on the bus somewhere.

[@aviintellicomp9990]

If your not a Canadian citizen Canada immigration will not allow you entry without being able to prove that you have the funds to support yourself on the trip as well as something tying you back to the US ( a house you own, or a job you need to be in the US for… etc) The way around that is to request a visitor record before going to the border. Alternatively, you can try to cross and if they turn you back, apply them. Might end up staying in the US a couple weeks longer…

[@alanthompson7674]

On your way north make sure you don't miss Crater Lake in southern Oregon along with Yosemite and the Redwood Forest in northern California. There are SO MANY sights to see in Arizona and Utah. Just to add a little info to your great name choice: saguaro cactus blossom is the state flower of Arizona and as such the cactus is protected. It is illegal to damage or cut one down. Other protections are also in place.

[@truebalsamhogs]

Skip a step when painting steps. You can still use them. When dry paint the skipped ones.

[@RhubarbPatch]

Don’t stop at Banff. Make it to Jasper at a minimum , the parkway is a must. If you have the time, then carry on to Prince Rupert and take the ferry to Vancouver Island and south back to Vancouver on the mainland.

[@captaindave47]

The bus is super now and I do like the steps. Never heard the name before. I would have preferred something funny like Kermit. But hey it's your bus. I am looking forward to seeing the videos on the way to Canada.

[@stephenmclendon3479]

I have to add since I know you’re going north next to Boulder dam is a very beautiful area called Ring of Fire it’s a mountain range of red rock I think you’ll absolutely love. Then you can go straight into Las Vegas. But I would really like you to see California and especially Yosemite. My family camped every there for 8 years while I was a kid had so much fun floating down the Merced river. You might wanna try that. Get two large car inner tubes and just float on your dreams. At about 9PM they have restarted what is called the fire fall. They burn huge amounts of wood into charcoal. Then someone yells: “Let the fire fall”. It falls from Glacier Point almost 3000 vertical feet down. Make reservations now if that’s what you choose. You won’t regret it.

[@margaretgosnell8281]

Your bus! What is special to you is what it should be. Congrats.

[@lesdickert1]

Another great video! I think it is so neat that you can stop in the middle of the desert and do a project. No prospect of rain helps. We just watched a Smithsonian Aerial America on the state of Idaho. We had no idea of the stunning scenery and landscape there. You should include that on your trip back from Canada. Safe travels!

[@Bodiy]

You really should travel 1 up the coast it is beautiful my husband and I drove a tractor trailer for eight years and we went from Southern California to Seattle and just took our time there so many beautiful things to see I saw a whale bigger than our tractor trailer on the beach unfortunately I think he was dead there was lots of people around it and the big trees the pine cones are huge just a lot of different scenery the bus looks good☺️

[@dennisgardiner43]

Being in Arizona, my wife and I loved Grand Canyon, and especially Zion. If you want remote, Great Basin was a dream last summer.

[@zalleywaalley8227]

Look into and keep tabs on what is happening with the protests that are going on in Canada right now. I’m just trying to save you a lot of time and potential headaches. Just trust me pay attention to what’s going on up there right now. Also the BUS looks great. Very good job.

[@Katelyngameing1990]

" SWEET RELISH " is what the bus reminds me of???? Great look love it

[@jerrycooper1546]

You might try and get in touch with the epic family road trip. A Canadian family touring Canada and the USA in jeeps .

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I love the bus colors. Looks great, I think of a dragon or Geiko. I agree painting the white stripes on stairs.

[@marilynthomas643]

If you haven’t already been there and you’re still in the Phoenix area, you need to go to Sugaro Lake (you can Christian your bus with some water from the lake) which is east of Mesa. It’s absolutely beautiful there, is man made and also near the Superstition Mts., and Apache Junction. Have fun and stay safe and I look forward to your next videos.

[@withoutdestination7840]

When you can't decide on the colors, white is always the best choice, because when you do decide, you've already got a primer coat 😃

[@douglassmith5414]

It IS the perfect name! I can't spell it; but I like it. I also like the paint job too. You two are a great couple for this lifestyle. I like the buses and seeing you young kids make a go of it. Congrats on your journey to Canada...Stay safe & have a blast!

[@rodladd5231]

Hello rod from Northern California you changed your hair looks good 👍 Jimmy gonna grow long hair and a beard

[@wanderleist]

Love, love the name! Its so fitting! And the paint turned out great!! Safe travels on your journey to Canada! I highly recommend stopping in Montana and checking our Glacier National Park!!

[@SunflowerandtheBussLady]

OMG! To just hop out of your back door like it was 3” up! I can’t even look down from the floor. LOL. You are correct, you and the bus ARE iconic now, so you can’t change the color! I look for you guys and Bussy McBussface in videos because of the color.

[@cindytargett]

How do you spell that ? I like it a rolling cactus 🌵 tumbleweed rolls around but naming it after such an awesome 🌵 cactus great name.. You guys are such a cute couple love the hair Natalie beautiful. Be safe and God bless

[@carlacker5397]

Wheels need to look better next guys, love watching you two

[@rosemarycameron3594]

Love your hair! Awesome paint job!!! Loved the Narnia reference, one of my favorite book series. On your way to Canada, be sure to visit Yucca Valley, CA and Yacolt, WA. Two of my favorite people live there! ☺️ Excited to see where Saguaro takes you next!

[@jereschweitzer9195]

I like the name I like how your bus looks with the White Stripes

[@richardparrott7192]

A great name!

[@tsanx4562]

Looks great! In the future using a bristle brush versus a foam brush will yield better results and you might not have to paint so many coats. I was always told foam brushes work much better for staining.

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

The name for the bus fits, and Natalie great look too. Well, even though you are going to take your time going North there is a lot to see on your way. I went from Quartzsite to Washington State and just took my time and enjoyed the trip and did my site seeing as I went. Take care guys and we will see you next week. Good job on the bus to by the way. 😀🤠👍🌵

Congratulations on the bus name!

[@puddlerat]

I like the name it’s great 👍🏻 just found y’all btw

[@cherylmoning2315]

Your bus looks really sharp with the white, I love it! Enjoy your travels up to Canada, I am dying to go to the US West coast! We were going to go this summer, but decided to head to BC from Ontario instead. We will be leaving for Alberta at the end up April/early May so we'll likely miss you on our way through, but hopefully our paths will cross on our way back to Ontario. Banff is also a dream of mine, and I know it will not disappoint!

[@karenolson5556]

I like it...it does look Crisp!!!

[@deborahashaw6044]

Congratulations on your Canada trip & the naming of your bus. Can’t wait to see some decals with your name on them. Paint job looks great. Safe Travels as always ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@davearnold9328]

Hey you two. Love the sprucing up of the bus, that white striping looks cool. Yo Jimmy - Mesa is pronounced MAY-Sa. Like the many mesa's in the entire west. If y'all are gonna be desert dogs, you gotta know the pronunciations. 😆. Also, I recommend traveling Hwy 101 (or 1) up the California coast, through Oregon and Washington to Vancouver BC. Then go over to Banff and come back into Montana through Glacier National Park. Or, reverse. From AZ, you should be able to take US 89 all. the way up to Canada. And there's so much to see on US 89. I wanted to do a photo book on 89 from beginning to end. I just need motivation. Oh and make sure you kow Canadian regulations before you go. They are going to search your bus when you enter, guaranteed. They tore my RV up a few years ago, probably cuz I had NM plates and the whole Breaking Bad thing. But you guys will stick out like a sore thumb, two young people in a lime green n skoolie... yeah. And heck, the border might be closed due to Covid. It was last year when I wanted to go, supposedly that is now open.

[@rosslynwelsh314]

Wow great paint job, hi from New Zealand 😎

[@AC4849-]

Great bus name!

[@yc3613]

Love the name. Mesa is pronounced Maysa rather than Messa, FYI.

Natalie, I love your new hair color and style...Jimmy you're cute as always! The paint job turned out awesome...and the name fits it and the two of you perfectly!

I think the back side door needs something, maybe an American flag or an Army star Just something to fill in the block I've always felt like you should get to know your own country before you head off to another country

[@numsixber]

Before going to Canada you need to check into travel restrictions because of Covid. After the massive protesting this month many of the provinces have started to lift the mandates on Canadians but Americans crossing the border are required to be fully vaccinated and quarantine for 14 days. If you do drive all the way up to Montana and decide against crossing into Canada there is still plenty of beautiful places to see in Montana and Wyoming. Obviously Yellowstone NP and The grand Tetons NP and I highly recommend Glacier National Park but the going to the sun road it’s still snowed in in much of June so I recommend getting there in late summer you also have to make reservations in an advance for the going to the sun road. Because of International travel restrictions the national parks are considerably busier than usual. I highly recommend going to Utah, they have five national parks and I recommend all of them, you can’t go wrong visiting any of the national parks, mational monuments or State parks on the Colorado plateau which includes the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest/Painted Desert, Zion, Arches, Bryce canyon, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde andCapitol Reef Naional Parks. Just remember to take elevation into factor when planning your route. You want to visit low elevation areas in the spring and high elevation areas in the summer to take advantage of warmer weather at the low elevations early in the season and cooler and weather at the high elevations later in the summer.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I put masking tape on my fingertips and use work gloves. I got so annoyed by my hands and nails being damaged.

[@michaelmcglone5475]

You guys are so cute together and I love the bus, it’s got so much more character than my RV. I was wondering do you think you’ll be going up the West Coast or up the center of the country?

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! 😊 For now we're leaning towards going through Utah, Wyoming, Montana, etc. to get there but we don't have any hard set plans. And we definitely want to explore the west coast someday soon!

[@michaelmcglone5475]

Having lived in the southeast valley of the Phoenix area for over 40 years, Mesa is pronounced "may- sa" with the "sa" sounding like "sub" without the "b". It means table because Mesa is on a flat bluff.
