We spent 7 nights at Walmart camping in parking lots. 😳 We can't keep this up, so we're finally using Harvest Host to find a camping spot. Plus, we check out Niagara Falls, cross the US-Canada border via the Rainbow Bridge, and ride on the infamous Maid of the Mist! ☔️

We have a bit of a fun update! Since we uploaded this video, Harvest Host has actually given us a link so y'all can get 15% off if you want to sign up! Leaving it here if you're interested! www.harvest-hosts.com/26DKNJF/2CTPL/ Hope you're having a great day! Thanks so much for watching!! 💚

@JenSwarbrick1966 Год назад

Hi guys, Canadian here! Just a little tidbit of info for you ... the CN Tower is in Toronto and the one you saw in the Falls in the Skylon Tower. No big deal - people mix them up all the time. I'm glad you got to see 'our' side of the Falls ... it's so beautiful and you get a really good view of the American side from here. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next! Hugs.

@blairinhemet Год назад

that "eternal" flame in the waterfall was amazing!! this whole video is great!!

@ruirodrigues9122 Год назад

hahaha...it's called the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls. The CN Tower is in Toronto...about 1.5 hours away from Niagara and it's just a bit taller! Great video!

@mrdave22 Год назад

i scrolled down just to see if anyone else noticed that!

@alanswift8805 Год назад

Jimmy and Natalie I've lived in Niagara Falls NY for twenty years and I'm glad you two made it here. I hope you two had a great time. It's a blessing to know that young couples who are traveling the states come here. I love watching your RU-vid channel it's absolutely awesome.

@susanamberg3960 Год назад

Niagara from the Canadian side at night is spectacular. I hope your heading further up into NY, there's so much to see and do. We're seasonal on a site in Henderson Harbor, Lake Ontario. Lots of history to see.

@sandid1826 Год назад

When I was a kid, we sucked the nectar out of honeysuckle flowers. Never ate the whole flower.

@sophietucker1255 Год назад

One of the other van life people I watch says she keeps a bucket or bag of quarters in her van. Everything seems to need quarters from pay showers to washing machines to vending machines. She says she usually has a couple dollars worth in her pockets because you never know when you will need some.

@akgobears Год назад

When traveling from the west coast to wherever , (walmarts, rest areas, cracker barrels , & casinos ) are all how we spend free nites on the road going to and from....Have thought about Harvest Host, havent gotten there yet....Travel safe, be well...

But Harvest Host isnt free. Its $99 a year.

I am chief photographer of the Niagara gazette newspaper, and I’ve been watching you for the last couple years enjoying your life and travels! I so wish I could’ve had a chance to meet the famous Jimmy and Natalie in my town! Hope you had a good time and you should tell everyone that the mist makes your hair soft.

Watch Lloyd and Mandy. They may be coming. They are in B.C now❤

@MaddogCapt11 Год назад

When I was a kid, I also would pull out the stalk of the honeysuckle flowers for that tiny drop of nectar. Thanks for reminding me of that childhood memory. As usual, a great video today. 😊

@corysvanlife Год назад

This video has some things that I am excited to do!! I will be traveling through that area in June (Never been anywhere close to there before)!! Also I’m signing up for harvest host as well!! I’m excited to try that out!! Thanks for showing your experience crossing the border and then back. I plan to do that as well so it’s good to know all that info 😆 Awesome video!!!

Glad to see you in Canada. Come back and enjoy our hospitality and rugged beauty.😊

Pansies and roses are also edible. Such a fun video! Thanks for bringing us with you!!!❤❤🙏🏻

@leslyestephen7629 Год назад

Thank you for bringing us along on your trips! I can't wait for your videos in Canada, when time comes to explore 😍 I'm sure it's beautiful, and I can't wait to tag along! Jimmy, I'm so happy your shoulder is healing!! The food looked so yum 😋 I love watching the two of you every week!

@mscarlarn Год назад

What a great day! The falls with the flame is so beautiful. Well Niagara falls is a little more than beautiful.

@catherinecook8058 Год назад

I’ve been a member of Harvest Host since 2016 - it has been one of my best investments for boon-docking. Traveled all 48 states and never disappointed in the variety of Harvest Hosts destinations.

@steveleonard5206 Год назад

We Love Harvest Host and have used it for the last 2 years. Always a good experience and we get something when we leave rather than paying at a private campground when don’t need hookups every day.

@dporper6390 Год назад

One of my favorite aspects of Harvest Hosts is they often provide a great environment to connect with other van life travelers during the stay. I think the fact we don't get our own piece of real-estate to defend causes campers to bond. Have a beer with other travelers and tell your story and hear theirs.

@norm4907 Год назад

We love HH, not crazy about breweries because they are usually in the middle of a town and sometimes sketchy. However wineries and farms are mostly way out in the country, quiet and spectacular.

@lynnsimpson8786 Год назад

Hey you two! Love your videos. I've heard other rvers say that harvest host has farms too. Y'all would probably enjoy them more

@alaskanight940 Год назад

Better to be cautious for awhile ... better than a lifetime of continual pain. Traveling through life is easier with a degree of caution, balanced with a degree of adventure. Try new things. Do so the smartest way so you can keep trying new things. I enjoy your channel very much. 😊

@waynepeterson1061 Год назад

When my daughter was four, we visited Niagara Falls and took the "Maid of the Mist" boat ride to the base of the Horseshoe Falls. I had Pooky, my daughter, in my arms, and we both got wet and cold, but it was a great time. That was back in 1998. You and Pooky look a lot alike, so when I saw you there, it was sort of a flashback for me, at a memorable moment with my little girl. 😊

@mikemanjo2458 Год назад

Yay! We stayed 2 nights at WalMart a few weeks ago (our first time ever). We were really grateful that WalMart offers that. We’ve never used our HH membership (shame on us!) y’ are so amazing. Your hair looks so pretty! Thanks friends! Have a great week! Jane in SC❤🙏🏻

Loved this, I guessed the falls. I probably I should have looked into this when I went to NYC last month, probably wouldn’t have had the time so I must return. Excited to see vanlife Canada.

@lauralarson3490 Год назад

N/J great water falls vlog! Last time I was on Canadian Horseshoe falls side was early 60's. I remember all the beautiful springtime flowers in the gardens/parks. Also getting very wet, under the falls. Enjoy coming along on your adventures!💜🌸💜

@janetkoball44 Год назад

A grand time for you. I loved seeing the little flame..... Amazing. I'm Not a fan of the cold, very windy boat tour. Walmart parking would be good every once in awhile where you can stock up for many other exciting times. Hope your arm is better Jimmy. But Nat is a good driver too. Happy travels.

@shannonbenjamin1155 Год назад

I'm so excited to see this because I'm taking a similar route this summer! Love seeing your travels!

Boondocking on the East Coast just is hard - we do a lot of state parks & COEs and put in a ton of research. We are retired, so our budget is different, but I can say that we have never stayed at a Walmart ;) Oh that waterfall with the flame - wow!

I'm from CNY, and it is gorgeous, if a little rundown in areas. I still love it. When I mention NYS to westerners, they immediately think NYC. It's so different.

Hey there! Just a small correction: the CN tower is in Toronto. In Niagara Falls, it’s called the Skylon tower.

@KevinCoop1 Год назад

Maybe you should try to look for state owned conservation areas. In Missouri there are 331 conservation areas that allow free camping. Best wishes, Kevin

Honeysuckle flowers are edible and used as a drink garnish and infused in certain drinks.

@JB-kd5uv Год назад

Great video. I’m a new watcher. One correction, which may have already been mentioned- that is the Skylon tower, not the CN tower - which is SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER, and in Toronto. Great video. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Totally LOVED the Rusty Nickel Brewery! Next time try the Jetboat ride or head down to Niagara-on-the -Lake (when you drive across!). But only do it in warmer weather!! Welcome to Canada!!!

@davet5260 Год назад

Great job!!! Thanks for all the information!

@rakereldridge6210 Год назад

We just moved away from there. We used to ride our bikes around it. It's about 14 miles. It's just a spit of land, but on a hot weekend, there are thousands of people there! Enjoy!

@brlowe1 Год назад

Another great trip video. Continue to have a great time.

@jimsteele9261 Год назад

Most of what you think of as BLM land is National Forest land in the midwest. Most of that land has the same 14 day free dispersed camping. I liked the burning waterfall. Back when I was a kid we used to camp near Bay City,MI. It's on the edge of Michigan's little known oil industry. There was a well behind a big tree that was always burning off excess gas. We called it the "burning bush" . :-)

@barbarapadgett5538 Год назад

They knew at the footbridge border patrol that you need 4 quarters. They could’ve been nice and told you!

Niagra Falls is a great attraction. We did not cross over, so there is an adventure waiting for us in the future. Thanks for sharing your experience at the Falls.

I'm from Sacramento, CA and had never seen a black squirrel until I was visiting a friend in San Jose, CA. I was like..."OMG is that a black squirrel?" They laughed at me, because they are common in San Jose. I took a pick and put it on my Facebook page and not one friend from Sacramento commented that they had ever seen one.

I also have been considering joining Harvest Host this week. Will use your link and also check out your other links to your store reccomendations. I'm on a plane flying from a convention in Fort Lauderdale, FL and have a crazy day of work tomorrow and vidoeing, then I pull my Winnebago Travato RV out of my shop and have to be back in Florida Monday morning... On the road again I guess 😁. Take care and see you in some more vids 😊👍

@greglange3048 Год назад

You should have seen the American Falls like I did, in 1969 when the Army Corp of Engineers turned off the water. The view of the Falls is better from the Canadian side because you are looking at America.... And bridge heights in NY are actually taller than posted, so you have the cited clearance while driving on packed snow.

Those falls are awesome, there is a little further down the road a cable car, but splash out if you guys can on the helicopter ride that departs Canada side and flies over the US side of the Falls, well worth it :)
