Wow, what an interesting story! I loved seeing Boldt Castle. I can't believe it was vacant for 73 years. So glad they are fixing it up now. Hope to visit it sometime! Thanks for taking us there!!
Thank you Stay Safe God Bless
Beautiful
Adding to my list.
Thank you
Fall foliage, the 1000 islands, down the finger lakes and wine country. NYS, great place to visit. ❤️
What a great place.
Great video. Thanks for another wonderful tour.
Definitely added to our list
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice find.
Thanks for the tour!!! Safe travels!!
Would love to go there!! Thank you for sharing!
Magnificent!!! Definitely a bucket list item
That was such a cool video!! Loved everything you saw!!!
Beautiful! C4YT!
Very cool!
Thanks for sharing!! Never knew of such a place...
Thanks very cool, such a sad story. Great Adventure for sure
I've heard of Boldt Castle. Hope to see it someday.
Wow ! How gorgeous ❤
We went there in September and loved it. You two are funny. Safe travels.
We really enjoyed watching this video and are making plans to visit there next year. Thanks!
Awesome place!
I'm commenting. That place looked pretty awesome. Until next time, please have blessed travels.
Fun place guys!!!
Wow, never heard of this place - added to my bucket list - which is getting big thanks to you!
Cool castle tour! 😃 🍻
Loved this episode!! Thanks for sharing. You whet our appetite. Think we will take the first boat and stay til last boat!!
In 1974, my husband (then boyfriend) and I were members of a marching group that traveled summers to march in parades. The summer of ‘74 we had performed in that area of New York. As a side trip, the group visited Heart Island and Boldt Castle. My memory is somewhat ’foggy’, but as I recall, everything was still as it had been left. We actually could look down the incomplete elevator shaft, which was filling up with inconsiderate tourists trash, get right close to the bowling lanes, and basically all areas of the unfinished castle. It’s been a dream of mine to revisit the island since. Thank you Sheila and Todd making my dream a “virtual” reality 🥰
Great video!
My neck of the woods!
Thanks for sharing ❤ this story 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
You need to check out castle in the clouds in New Hampshire too. Lots of cool stuff there too.
Todd, you are goof level 10. Great job. Sheila is even getting goofy. This channel is going sideways fast and it's awesome! WOOT!
Ummmmmmmmm I'm not sure what to say other than I need to get back to my day job lol I don't need Todd rubbing off on me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SwitchItUpLife You decided to live with him in a trailer...now you have to deal with the consequences. Ohhhhh....that burns. 🥸
But, there are worse fates out there. I think. 🤷♂️
We never heard of that place either. Keep up the great content!!
Beautiful area. I was there when I was younger and remember seeing the castle. Thanks for sharing.
I want to live in that castle!!! What a beautiful place!
Don't they say that now you crazy old man.Great video again.I'm from NY and had no idea thanks.
Cool castle! Adding it to my list. Thanks so much for going
I love that we can help grow your list!! Thanks for being an awesome Crew member!
Wow! Looks so different since we're there last in mid-90s. Definitely going back!
You should! We can't wait to go back in a few years as they work on the upstairs. What a project!
I like your idea! Buy that dredge….I mean boat!!
Super neat. I had to look it up. Definitely added to the “must see” list. Thanks for being you & sharing your adventures :)
One of my Favorite Videos... Loved it.
Will be fulltiming it in 5 weeks.
This is now on my bucket list thingy.
East coast architecture is crazy stuff, isn't it?. 😀
We've been visiting here for over 40 yrs.
A must see if you are in the area!!! CFYT
Boldt Castle sounds neat. That is a place we will be taking our rig to Thousand Island NY. If you guys are ever in the Newport RI area you should tour the Mansions there. That's also really neat. Enjoy.
“But you don’t smoke, yea I know but it would look cool” best quote ever!
I was there roughly 35 years ago as a kid. It is the one place I want to go back to. At that time they were working on the pool. Amazing place.
What a FUN adventure! Thanks for sharing this. I love touring historical homes. I can also relate to running for the last boat, bus, train, when you are completely fascinated with a place. Been there, done that, many times! I know you left the west coast states off your year plan, maybe you have already been, but you would LOVE Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA. Completely unique and gorgeous with tons of history. One of my favorite places. The views!!
We were in the Thousand Islands area of NY a few months ago and stayed at a Harvest Host - Thousand Islands Winery. Really beautiful area of NY
Wow! Shelia is actually acting more like a kid than you are. What a wonderful surprise trip to the 1000 island area. You two never cease to amaze us with your content. Thank you again for bring us along.
I was thinking the same thing...LOL
You need to do biltmore in Asheville NC is is fabulous and of course all the history around here in Eastern TN
Doing all the things because..... A CASTLE IN THE US!! 😲
Stunning video!
That was super cool! We are taking notes and enjoying your "off the beaten path adventures" just like this one! We plan on experiencing it later for ourselves - thanks for sharing!
You are near us! We have been to the Boldt Castle many times, and we camp at Watkins Glen KOA. Did you happen to camp at Association Island in Henderson Harbor? It is a beautiful campground on a private Island, near the Thousand Islands. Becky and Charlie
I am happy you were able to visit the Boldt castle island. We were able to see the island 7 years ago on our trip to the thousands island area.
So pretty and what a romantic sad story. Another place to put on the list to see. I love the music Todd chooses when he is editing the video’s. Keep up the great work!
I knew of this and it’s on my bucket list
You just keep adding more places to my list of must see’s. Stop it! 😂 My list is already long enough!! Thanx for showing us more cool stuff.
Sorry not sorry?? I think lol
Hi guys, my hubby Mike says he’d be part of your “Gold Rush” crew🤣
Never heard of this place! Thanks to Shelia! She finds the coolest places.
Isn’t the US amazing?
We just were there in june. Stayed at campground in Henderson Ny called sun outdoors. Campground was on its own island and we surrounded by lake ontario/Henderson bay…. Beautiful going back in 2022. Had a great time. We went to alxandria bay while there. Did tour of casrles on American side unfortunately canada border was still closed due to pandemic so fingers when we go back 2022 border is open.
Wow, you really knocked it out of the park with this one! Great video. We live in the UK but when we next visit New York State this will definitely be on our list to visit.
loved this trip i want to see it!!!
You are correct, we had no idea there were castles in the US. Amazing. And where would the Big Mac be without the invention of thousand island dressing!!
....hmmm, let me see, an interview with Tony B............"bleep bleepity bleep bleep".......I would watch it!
We went there in 2019!!! I was in awe of it all ❤️ we also went to Singer Castle too!!
I love gold rush too. I couldn't work for Tony. Todd, you were like a kid with excitement. Loved the video! Comment (For RUclips)
I was born in “upstate “ NY, never been back. Looks like it’s time!! I’m with Sheila, wait look over here, let’s see where this goes….!!! Explore and learn ❤️
Glad you enjoyed NYS so much. You must have driven so close to us in the Rochester area to get there. I haven't been to Boldt Castle in many years, looks like I need to revisit. NYS is just so much more than NYC, it's amazing how many people ask about The Big Apple when we say where we are from. I haven't been there in years, it's 7 hours away, lol. See you soon, can't wait.
Go to Hurst’s Castle in San Simion, CA some day 😎
Did you go to The Castle when you were in KY? It's beautiful also. Love the video!
Not yet!
Thanks, another great adventure with you two!
Could picture it with Swamp Thing and Big Foot in the moat
Also, Don't miss Ausable Chasm! Then you could bounce over to Burlington, VT! Really fun little town. I traveled the Northeast for decades. There is so much to see!
Bishops Castle in Colorado is a cool place. Went when I was a kid and we took our boys there last summer. Switch it Up!!
When our kids were young we camped in the 1,000 islands many times. It is just awesome!!! 🤗
I have a question? Sometimes I watch the commercials that pop up on your videos but if it is something that does not interest me, or if I am on a time crunch I will not. Do you get paid more if I watched the commercials all the way through and less or nothing if I hit the skip button right away? I ask because I pay nothing to travel with you and if me watching the commercial all the way through benefits you and your channel I would watch them all just to support your efforts.
Safe travels and again, thanks for sharing your travel life with me. JIM
So you've been to Thousand Islands, when are you going to Hidden Valley?
So glad you enjoyed an area that I love and grew up in. The river is my favorite place! Headed to Swan Bay on October 22, 2021 for the Halloween celebration. Too bad you will not be in the area. Singer castle is not far from you guys, if I had known we may have been able to arrange a tour.
Hello RUclips, yes more people should see Todd and Shelia.
I would love to see your travels since you started plotted on a map. You have been so many interesting places.
Been there a few times, live 1.5 hours from there.
I used to cross the border on I-81 at Lansdowne On. going to different places in the province of Quebec . The winters are brutal there because of the lake effect snow. But it is beautiful the rest of the year.
What a great place. Hopefully you will be able to go through the Biltmore Estates on your way to warmer climate. About this video, I'm trying to decide if the colors were sharper or if I just cleaned my glasses.
Been there a few years ago, while working at Ft Drum/Watertown NY. Beautiful trip!
Castles on long island n off nyc too
Great stuff! But, I would enjoy Todd’s explanation of why and/or how it is classified as a Castle? 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
I love the song played throughout the video. Can you let me know the name of it ? Thanks ! PS. We enjoy and look forward to each of your videos.
You two are so funny! Love you two! Always interesting
😁😁😁😁😁
When were you at Boldt Castle? Trying to figure out how late in the season to go before they close down the boat tours! Thanks!
We were there towards the end of September. Hope that helps
Never heard of this before. Thanks for all the info. This will be on our list of things to see!
We stumbled across this 10 years ago. What a gem. We didn't know a bout this area. I do want to go back. Did you buy any of the Thousand Islands dressing? It is not the same as Thousand Island dressing found on the grocery store. It is white and really good!
Welcome to upstate NY. Home of many surprises. Hopefully you have time to explore the history and architecture of the adirondacks. Enjoy 😊
So that’s it! If my husband starts to build me a castle, I’m running because it seems like she always dies if there is a castle built for her
In 2017, we did the cruise from Gananoque, Ontario (Canada) to Bolt Castle. It was such a beautiful experience! Gananoque is also beautiful to visit !
You guys are doing awesome!! Love the videos!! We’ve been following since around 5K subs. I have a quick question though.I was wondering if you took the FAA section 107 class to post your drone footage? We just started a channel “Destination Fulltime RV” and I was curious if I should use drone footage without taking it. Also. Contact us if your in north central PA. You have a place to stay at our home. Look up PA Grand Canyon.
For once I agree with Todd, it is better than Disney World. Is Singer Castle next?
