Born and raised in Nova Scotia. Such a underrated province in Canada 🇨🇦
Maybe underrated by some, but not by us! We love exploring Nova Scotia. Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 Howard
Just came back from a 3 month trip around the Maritimes. Such beauty must be seen by all Canadians. Seriously breath taking scenery. We are so lucky to live in this gorgeous country. From Calgary and heading home right now.
Couldn't agree more! That road trip sounds incredible, too. We've traveled across all the southern provinces now except for Quebec, and can't wait to explore there, too! Thanks for watching, and hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
My dad called in sick the night of the explosion that killed those miners. God bless them and their family.
i got to live in cape breton for a few years for college, even though i wasn't born there and sadly don't live there today, once you've been to cape Breton it's easy to call it home, they say home is where the heart is and i know my heart yearns to be back in the cape. though my grand mother still lives there and my family tree can be traced back to the fortress of Louisbourg the part the makes cape breton home is the way of living that you can't find anywhere else, not across Canada or the world. i've gotten to be lucky in life, i've seen the notre dame before the fire, i've stood in front of the eiffel tower at night and seen it light up, i got to be in attendance at the 100th anniversary of vimy ridge, i've been disappointed in person by the mona lisa and astonished by many of the other great works in the louvre, but i dont long to see any of it again i long to live in the cape even if just another day.
So what’s stopping you?
I live on Cape Breton Island born and raised such a beautiful place
My home my pride Cape Breton Island ❤️❤️ You visited my home town of Glacé Bay my grandfather Norm Clarke was a miner right till it’s last days. I will never as long as I live forget the explosion at 26 we hear the sirens I was in elementary school, many of friends loss their fathers and family members. I hope you enjoyed your visit I now live on the opposite coast.
This was fantastic thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 - Howard
Your videos are so entertaining and educational. The quality of content astounds me. You know a video is great when you don't want it to end. Thanks for all you do.
Proud to be born n raised in CB.. only one in my family
I can’t tell you how much I loved this episode. Cabot Trail was absolutely stunning!! It never disappoints. The food looked amazing as usual. You won’t get friendlier people than there,as you found out.🙂. Even the puppies got to enjoy the beautiful beach. This is one of my favourites. Thank you again for this. I love my Country ❤️🇨🇦
@@christianl7899 Hmmmmmm
Just stumbled onto this one! I'm just finishing my edit on my Nova Scotia episode! We go to all the same places!
Fantastic vlog. 👍 👍. Thank you for showcasing 🇨🇦 !
Excellent video, thank you so much
Beautiful area!
It really is, Karla! 😍
Great job.
Thanks so much! 👍
Beautiful scenery. Loved seeing the mine. That was a unique memorial done up with their names on their lunch boxes. I hated for the loss of lives, RIP Gentlemen. The seafood looked beautiful. I'm very much looking forward to next week. Have a wonderful week.
Love your videos and great energy. Your authenticity and positivity come through loud an clear. Keep up the good work!
Another fun filled adventure👍
Thanks for another great video!
Great video thank you!!!! Excellent work!!! Thank you !!!
Awesomely beautiful!
You two go up the coolest and most beautiful places! ❤️❤️
Nice Cabot Trail video. We took it slowly last summer and did several of the same things. Beautiful. The weather was off and on for us
already ft louisburg, you bring back memories, thanks
You guys seem like a nice team.. Great video!
New subbie from Alberta, Canada! I have to say this is a phenomenal video. We are planning a trip to the east coast next summer and I’m taking notes from this video. Thank you for including the names of campgrounds, restaurants, etc. Well done! 😊
Another awesome video. Now there is something I've been wanting to experience and that is food prepared the way they would've eaten it years ago. Entertaining as always.....
Fantastic video presentation of Cap Breton Island! Looking forward to PEI. Love your shows. Job well done guy's
The drive looks great. Definitely a must do. I knew when I saw the rope it was an uphill hike 😂. The water looks inviting and I know it’s deep being a mine and all. Great video 👍🏼
You guys are the best!
Love love love Cape Breton go and explore you won't be disappointed
I did the Cabot trail a few years ago...loved Cheticamp
This is one of the most fun videos I’ve seen on RUclips!
My home, my heart, Cape Breton ❤️
Hello Newstates! We met in Forest City, Iowa and so glad we did...love your channel! Your videos are so beautiful, great ideas and love all the food! Happy travels and hope to see you two, and the puppies:) again one day! Maria and Bruce
Enjoyed your show. That's "bar clam" though, as in sandbar, where they're found. I've eaten many! My folks are from Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island and I've summered there all my life, though it's fun to see these places through a tourist's eye.
Congratulations on ten thousand subscribers 👍
Hello how are you doing?
You certainly did my home justice. Absolutely wonderful video !
Thank you so much! We are big fans of Cape Breton and the melting pot of cultures. Glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
This is beautiful, I live on the east side of the island around Sydney. People always show the trail, the skyline, Cheticamp, etc, Which is of course beautiful and great. Ive never seen a section on the Miners Museum, or/with the personal interest you took to it. Love that. Love you, beautiful people. My dad was a coal miner. His dad before him. Lots of our friends and family were coal miners. My father, like the fathers of many from here, have gone into collapsed mines to on rescue and recovery missions with no question. It's been such a big part of our communities. It's just a really really beautiful thing that you took a personal interest. Enjoy your exploring
OMG! What a beautiful visit to eastern Canada! Like I’ve said before, it’s def on my bucket list. The people seem so nice and friendly too. AND, I really think you’re eating WAY too much lobster (Not!). My mouth waters and I gain a pound or two just watching your videos. There is NOTHING like those upper Atlantic (“Maine”) lobsters. Very meaty with the best parts being larger than other locales’. Can’t visit Canada any time soon, as we are taking a Greek cruise in October, and I can’t wait! (Have to get through cataract surgery tomorrow AM, so I can SEE clearly all these wonderful places I want to visit!). As always, thanks so much for taking me along each week to enjoy all these beautiful places! Love you two, Virginia
Stunning beauty! The food wow! 🍤🦞🍻Opening up a can of tuna!🐟😂🐾
Wow Thank You for doing such a wonderful presentation of our little Island. My Dad was a coal miner and the miners museum is a big part of local history. Our two main industries were steel and coal now that there gone our tourism is really a big part of culture now and most people you meet are like Clarence. So Thank you once again for such a great video.
THE HOME OF OUR HEARTS ♥️CAPE BRETON.
Prepared this time! Having a snack while watching so I won't get so hungry!
Great video guys. Sorry we couldn’t meet up. I know your videos are a little behind. Those of us who live here are so blessed. Baddeck lobster supper is an awesome place to eat. We been there many times, since we are friends with the owners. I will pass on to them that you had a great experience there🇨🇦
Great scenery and it seems you two eat often, ha!!!
We just came back from visiting the Maritimes. Cape Breton is beautiful!
Sammie, yes it is! Hope you had a great time. What were some of the highlights for your trip? Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads we love the landscape! The trees, hills, lakes and ocean, plus all the wildlife. The people are also very friendly 😊. We stayed in Baddeck for 3 days, it’s a beautiful area. We did the Cabot trail, did some hiking, Bell museum, Louisbourg ( the fortress was interesting but that day it was extremely windy and rainy, I could maybe understand that some of the French immigrants from the 1700’s when they experienced that weather must have thought why did I ever leave France 😜), and Sydney.
New sub and thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. We live on the west coast of Canada on Vancouver Island and spent a month in 2004 driving this gorgeous part of the Maritime provinces. The scenery and people are second to none.
Welcome and we agree! Cape Breton holds a special place in our hearts, too. It was the first destination when we hit the road full time back in 2018. Thanks for subscribing and we're so glad you're along for the journey! 👍 Howard
Wish I had done Cape Breton w you guys - fun people! Lol “candy from a stranger”
cape breton is a much different way of life, i got to live there for a few years, and as my grandmother says when you get to the island you've stepped 50 years into the past, i remember the first time someone i never met offered me a ride, it was around 3 am and the only convince store was a 30 minute walk to town down the high way, a smaller looking fella pulled over after his head lights caught me he threw it in reverse and asked "hey man are you okay do you need a ride or anything?" me being from Ontario my immediate though was of malicious intent so i politely told him i was fine and he went on his way, a few weeks went by and it had gotten to the point that if i needed to walk somewhere id throw my thumb up and with in 5 minutes id have a ride if not before i put my thumb up, i remember a little later when i had gotten a car i put it in a ditch, sun caught the frost in the morning and all the jazz, but before i even opened my door the person on the road behind me had pulled over to check if i was okay, then the next car did the same, and the next, no one is in a rush and people have time to be humans still.
great video:). my dad's name(and mine) is on one of those pillars;) i finally did the tour this past summer. hope to do it again next year:)
Thank you so much for visiting our island 💜 Come back anytime!
Next time check out The Highland Village and The Bell Museum 🤗👋
I just found your chanel and love it! My husband and I and our pup are planning an adventure next summer/fall up that way and you are such a great source of information. What do you do with your pups when you are doing all these fun things (like eating in restaurants and touring historic fortresses)? Thanks for producing such great content.
I live in a village named Petit de Grat , Richmond County,Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I made my first Cabot Trail adventure, by myself. E. D.
Loved the video! Will we see the Anne of Green Gables house in PEI?
you guys have done such and amazing job showing the beauty of our country! we have just purchased our first RV and can't wait to hit the road and down east is where we are going. Thank you so much for showing so many others the sites, beauty and culture of Canada in your Canadian Adventures playlist, so so great!
Thank you so much and glad you found us! We are honored by your comments as a Canadian and try to explore there as often as we can. Congrats on the new RV, can't wait to hear about your own adventures! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads will be happy to share our adventures for sure! We are trying to complete some reno's right now, however it's challenging in the winter. Hopefully we can be hitting the road late May. Thank you again, and we are looking forward to watching you as you hit all the state parks in the new rig! Safe travels! - Andrew
Haha that is too funny, it is very sketchy to take raw shellfish from a stranger. I would have done the same, I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it. 😆 Nova Scotia looks very beautiful and friendly! I need to take a longer trip to that area next time and tour it.
Sorry you missed the West Coast from Cheticamp to Port Hawkesbury. You totally forgot to check out the amazing Scottish culture ( even have a Gaelic Radio Station, Gaelic elementary school, recreated Highland Village, Gaelic College, etc.)
Inverness has award winning golf courses and beaches.
Mabou, Port Hood, Judique amazing music and musicians of various genres (especially Scottish music) in beautiful venues. Beaches with some of the warmest waters north of the southern United States.
These and more make the western side of Cape Breton more than worth a look. Too bad you just followed the usual though great tourist path and like so many miss the whole essence of Cape Breton.
Thanks again guys....I know I keep saying this..but this is on our list!!! Maybe need a smaller camper for the ferries ?
You guys do such a great job on production. What gear do you for filming?
Awesome video we love Nova Scotia it is so gorgeous!!!!
100% agree! It was our very first "destination" when we hit the road in 2018, and so grateful we could return. 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads Love following you guys and your adventures and yes its such a beautiful place, as are so many of the places you guys have traveled, thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Glad you came to glace bay I lived here my whole life and I am blessed for sure , hopefully you’ll choose to come back to the island again ❤️🇨🇦
Does the name bird worthington mean anything to you? Nickname I guess it is lol. Not a very common name in the bay I’m sure you know him. I grew up in #11.
@@Dervanism yup that’s my dad actually
Wow, small world for you two to find each other through our episode! ♥️
@@lovelylife1234 very cool I thot you would be related. Say hello to your dad from Derek Beaton haven’t seen him in like 25 years or so. Is he still in #11?
@@NewstateNomads that’s what I said as well , it’s a small world sometimes 😊
😋 YUMMY 😋 😍
Nice
Bar clams….yummm
Yes, BAR clams are delicious! (we thought our friend was saying BURR clams, haha). 👍-Howard
If you go to New Brunswick try Sussex ginger ale a great childhood memory are you coming to Ontario
We have gone counterclockwise on the Cabot Trail once but much prefer to go clockwise. I can’t even tell you how many times we have gone that way. We have yet to do the Skyline though, I’m no t sure why.
Top notch ,eh !
Cape Bretoner here 🙋🏻♀️
Whenever I hear about Nova Scotia I think about Anne Of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island. Are you going to go over that way? I'd love to see it.
Whenever I hear about Nova Scotia, I think about Cape Breton Island .❤️
Thank you for this reminder as to how beautiful this part of Canada 🇨🇦 is! It was our favourite trip. We were at Louisbourg and those wonderful people who do the re-enactments are so into their job. My husband Howard yes he is a jokester, he tried to get them to veer from acting their parts, and he couldn’t trick them, They are so good. My favourite was Baddeck area, but I can’t wait to see PEI again. Thank you 💝
Minute 13:09 Beautiful! The name of that spot please! (It looks like a little lake or a pond.)
It's the Gypsum Mine Lake. If you search on Google Maps you'll find find the parking lot and short hiking trail to it. It's so beautiful and the water really is that color!
didnt know they did the food there!
at louisbourg
Which month did you guys go ? Excellent video …
Hi! We were there in June of 2022 :) Thanks so much! -Katelyn
@@NewstateNomads thanks 🙏
I live in Ohio, up on Lake Erie. I got to go down into a salt mine under the lake. Much different than this one for sure.
I didnt eat with a fork until I was an adult. It's part of our post colonial British, post slavery culture to eat with a spoon. My sister still eats with a spoon at age 46...in America. lol
Well just to let you know half the ppl that work there are local and speak both languages it's kinda a thing you need if you want a job there the fortress is like 5 mins from my house
One question. Did you have a hard time understanding our accent ? Some people struggle and look at us weird lol.
Cape breton is the most beautiful island in Canada we have the best golf courses in canada we also have some of the best fishing in north america I live here if anyone wants to see this island in the best way possible hit me up
Cape Breton is not a national park!
It has the Cape Breton highlands national park but if isn’t a park itself!🇨🇦✌🏻🇨🇦
You're absolutely right, and we call out the full name in the description and during the episode. Not enough space in the title section, though! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard
