 Well, good morning from the big easy. I moved my parking spot, but I didn't move it that far I was parked right over there last night because I ran into some friends of mine. I met at schoolie Palooza, so I want to introduce you guys to the Margo Tenen bus Instagram How are you guys doing? Sorry for the artificial hello. We just did a full interview for my friend's channel bus of adventure But let me give you guys a quick run-through of theirs And by the way, this is a full-size bus a little bit longer than I'm thinking for number two So how do you like having such a big bus? The storage is great As far as driving around a city like New Orleans it can be a little hairy, but otherwise we love it We we lucked out being able to have as much space to work with as we got sweet. All right Well, I don't want to hold you up. So what do we have going on here? And what what is this thing? This is a 1995 international 3800 You know pretty standard setup as far as mechanical goes We it was a functioning school bus when we bought it and we gutted it and redid everything in from insulation to obviously the build Out yeah, and we actually have the same engine. That's right. That's right t444 e 7.3. That's right Got our electrical up front under the booth. Uh-huh down here. Yeah solar power solar fridge How do you and this is the winter we said in the earlier thing? So you guys like the DC fridge? Yes It's you know super efficient as far as the solar goes And no surge when the compressor kicks on which is really nice. Wow, I wish I could see the same You know try to find as much reclaim stuff as possible, you know used sink things like that We rigged up a hood for our camping stove when we have it out 55 gallon fresh water drum there. That's underneath the counter That was also used item as well, but food grade. So that's good A piece of mailed shower with our washing machine pan down there The shower head came with our hot water heater, which is a tankless propane vents out through here. It was a great. Yeah and Camping a compost toilet as well. So we kept things pretty simple nice You know didn't want to have to do a lot of work with With propane tanks and gray water black water tanks. We do have gray water That's that's about it In our bed area. All right Very cool So anyways, if you guys want to see more about their travels what they do on the road the places that go the things you eat possibly Oh, yeah, and working everybody find you guys on Instagram. It's at Margo dot ten and bus Perfect and as a Facebook page as well. All right, and we just actually randomly bumped into each other Is there saw each other message you said it and steampunk Steve told me to come to the spot in park And guess who told them to come here in park as well I love the school bus community. I was just gifted some natural products And this is from the KAI NAT brand, which is your company. Yep kind of beauty We do natural body care and some cosmetics as well. This is an all-natural Healing balm, so it's like a salve. It's really thick and intensive You can use it all over you can use it as lip balm. It's great for cuticles and really dry hands It's like a therapeutic type thing. Yeah, and I said or just a second ago Smells like surf wax, which I like and then this is that all-natural soap. Yep It's an african flash black soap with potash and charcoal, so it's really great for your complexion It's pretty good for sensitive skins made with organic coconut oil and olive oil All right, cool. You can use it all over sweet, and I'm gonna use that in all my 2,000 parts I think I'm gonna hit the road and keep heading east. I have not Followed up with driving and vibing yet They are in Alabama How's it work over here, Mississippi? Um, I don't know. I don't know the Southern states too well, but they're over on the Mobile area I think and so yeah, I need to follow up with them I'm gonna try and stop by a place Where somebody is working and they said hey, I saw you're in town swing on by so that's so I'm gonna stop by there and see if that is gonna work and then otherwise We're gonna hit the road All right, so I stopped by them at Alice here and Alice got a hold of me was like hey I saw your boss so your town come by the shop. So I came by her work Interrupted her and you're so dirty. She's what are you working on your mechanic? Yeah? I was I'm rebuilding my engine for my truck right now. Cool. So let's go see my truck. Let's do it This is your ride, huh? But there's no engine And what are you doing to the engine? I'm rebuilding it or I'm gonna I'm I have a 4300 engine that's on its way here that I also need to rebuild but I might be putting that one in does that mean it's it's gonna be bigger faster. It's bigger. Yeah, the engine I have is a 223 right now Sweet thanks for hitting me up. All right. Have fun with the rebuild so I don't know where I am, but I passed by this on the way to the mechanic place and This is an old abandoned. I think she said maybe Building or something like that and apparently this is a spot where everybody comes. They do some artwork and I Don't know New Orleans is pretty cool. It's pretty cool. There's all kinds of a Abandoned places and run-down places and god. I mean some of these houses here just so beautiful and so historical but There's a sign specifically for me Go back to Cali. I Bet people are getting a steal of a deal for some of these houses out here But of course you got to do some DIY on it because they're so run down and You know destroyed from the the hurricanes and stuff So like I was saying This town is super cool, and I don't know The history of this place obviously just literally was passing by and then I decided to come in here But I have seen so so so many abandoned places around town and it seems like in this town it is let's just say a Bit less enforced seems to be a bit more a bit more craziness to this town Even when I was walking around Bourbon Street last night Saw these dudes like just kind of stand on the corner looking a little mischievous, and then it reminded me of this Vice documentary I saw on Like a drug dealer on Bourbon Street, so I was thinking to myself after I left I was like wait Was that the dude? Was that the dude from the documentary that they blurred his face, and it was like selling drugs on Bourbon Street, so If anybody is from this town Feel free to confirm what it said or not, but it just seems like a kind of Not quite lawless town, but just kind of like a Like a free-for-all Whoa, this is pretty crazy looking Josh and Cody would definitely Definitely like this place Someone's baby stroller not really sure why there's a baby stroller and My goodness look at Look how gnarly this is Whoa, there's some workout equipment How crazy is that? Yeah, it is a little Dusty in here, so I definitely understand why Josh and Cody use those those mouth things the ventilators because it's just can be pretty gross in here But yeah this is some kind of big area and It looks like fire extinguishing Unit or something Not really sure how long I'm gonna hang out in here because I do want to hit the road head towards My next place, but I did want to show you guys You know what you can expect around here As far as You know places to see You know some of the urban culture You know part of the city here, so Yeah, very It's beautiful in a Kind of like decaying way like there is I don't know if anyone else agrees, but It's almost kind of beautiful to see it crumbling. I'm just doing a little check for nails There's a bunch of potentially pokey stuff Everywhere in here So, yeah, let's uh, let's hit the road. You're never gonna guess what got spotted again exploring with Rick Explore with Rick Jax Me neither I know very nice video like you were here at all.

Well guess where I made it to if anybody has driven I-10 You have probably seen this magnificent rest area in Alabama It is the Alabama welcome center drove from Louisiana to Alabama and about 50 miles or something like that Anyways, this is a great place. It is a little confusing because when you come in There is a sign that clearly says no overnight parking Right, so you think to yourself will kind of rest stop allows no overnight parking but and I wasn't gonna park here, but I saw a security guard and I just happened to ask him like hey So where's a dump spot and he said over there, which by the way, they didn't have a hose We anyway, it's a separate story. I'm not gonna use my drink of water hose for my flush hose Common sense. Anyways, and I said also where should I park overnight because I saw the no overnight parking site He said oh, they made that the wrong sign. That just means you can't abandon a car for 24 hours Bizarre, I know. Anyways, we are gonna meet up with driving a Vibe in tomorrow across the way In actually in Alabama, so that'll be a fun video Those are a favorite of badges and L. So It's catching up on a few videos of theirs and Yeah, so it's gonna be a fun day. So looking forward to it. What else is exciting news? I think that was it. I'll see you guys on the road tomorrow. Thanks for watching
