Hi Hank and Bus,
We wanted to let you know that we created a post on The Reclamation Administration about you (we say you on Colossal).
http://reclamationadministration.com/2013/08/20/a-tour-of-the-bus-hank-bought-a-bus/
Hope you like it, but let us know if you want to make any edits. Great work!

Thanks for the post, we appreciate it!
It´s an incredible way to see and take control of one of the main problems in this time, i hope you can give me an e mail to be in touch or a phone number to talk about something i have in mind here in mexico. i´m sharing your website in my personal FB wall and an architecture magazine that i have. have a safe trip.
My email is in the bio section, I’m curious to hear what you’re thinking!
Hello,
Here is an article published in the French newspaper Le Figaro about your bus initiative – http://etudiant.lefigaro.fr/les-news/actu/detail/article/un-bus-scolaire-recycle-en-logement-etudiant-2552/
Keep up with the great work!

Greetings,

Crazy! It’s spreading so far!

We’ve got more on the way!

…about all i could muster was to leave all i knew for 47 years when i moved, with 3 suitcases, to england and married my soul-mate hubby….well, it was quite brave for me….but thanks for taking what so many of us think about and giggle about thinking about in the privacy of our minds and doing it and sharing it!!! cant wait to see the rest of this journey because i know you have so very many more to cover in your lifetime! keep safe and happy…and accept the set-backs because they are part of life to help us cherish the good times!

Howdy from Cloudcroft NM. my buddy Heather Blanton has a snappy converted bus here in Cloudcroft and get this: she had a fantastic band that hosts ‘band practice” in the bus every saturday night. You guys have to drive through this part of new mexcio, chill out at 9800 feet, hang with the band, and love life out here. The School Bus Gypsies are just the coolest group, have this weekly event in the bus, and all is good. Park Kerr, Cloudcroft NM.
Hank: What a great idea…I think if you are going as far north as Minneapolis, you and your bus should venture a bit farther north to Hayward, WI, we have a great campground and would love to have you and the bus give us a visit. Good luck with your adventure!!! Not to mention northern Wisconsin is a beautiful place to visit.

As a native ‘Sconnie, I know it has a lot to offer! I always did want a cabin in the north woods, and that was the original intention for the bus! (It’s just too much darned fun to drive around!)
Saw post on two tiny house websites, but just now saw it on Yahoo News/GMA! Woo Hoo!

Have you all made it to San Francisco, yet? I’d love to say hi if you’re stopping in the city.
Already passed through! Sorry!
Hi Hanks,
I don’t have much to offer as far as publicity but I do want you to know I love what you are doing or trying to do, and I am extremely excited to see what else you have accomplished so far! Just letting you know that I think what you’re doing is amazing and I enjoy following your journey!
Matt.

Hi my name is Zack and I wanted to reach out to you. I am currently a resident at the world’s first Self-Organized Learning Environment or SOLE. We look for people that step away from the higher education standards and make moves on their own. I am currently working on a tiny house company and would love to talk with you guys. Check out the website and if you are interested then drop me a line. I hope to hear from you!
Hey Zack,
We’re still trying to figure out what happens next and looking through our options, we’ll definitely keep this in mind!
What a great thing, fellas! A true inspiration. The vicarious enjoyment of finding and reading your blog has reaffirmed my goal of a similar plan. If you wander over to the east coast know that you’ve got a secure crash site and a great meal in southeastern virginia. I have seen your story twice today on two sites not in your list. The most notable is mashable.com and the other is mymodernmet.com. Thank you for the resonating inspiration and safe travels, brothers.
Also seen in R7, one of Brazil’s largest Internet news websites:

Want one too 🙂 but will be difficult to do in Switzerland with the same bus…

You have inspired me to start planning our honeymoon across the USA, Cudahy WI to Cudahy CA it’s our second anniversary next week.
We have been a little been a little busy bringing a Victorian house back to life, near the London Olympic park, I think you would approve. In fact more than that you have made me decide to start writing my blog again.
Thank you and have a trip of a lifetime!! If you’re in London let me know.
That sounds like a great trip! Have a great honeymoon, and good luck with your house!

Hi Hank and friends!
I saw your “homebus” at an article in a website about sustainable things in Brasil:
http://www.ecodesenvolvimento.org/posts/2013/setembro/arquiteto-reforma-onibus-antigo-e-viaja-pelos?tag=arquitetura-e-construcao
I love this king of adventures and loved your “homebus adventures” also.

Just found out about you through Demilked. http://www.demilked.com/student-converts-old-school-bus-into-mobile-home/
I’m on my own adventure/oral history project down the East Coast and through the Deeop South. Good to see you are taking care of the west. Enjoy the ride, and meet awesome people. -C
We threw out a mention of you on our company blog: http://blog.builderscloud.com/2013/09/why-not-its-small-sleek-modular-its.html
This is so fantastic! Hope that builders and architects all over catch on to the remade and repurposed idea.
By the way, love the response of the police officer in your post “Yosemite” – “That’s pretty rad.” Right it is.
Keep it up,
-Kathlyn
Derrick! Thanks for finding us when we rolled through town!
