I was trying to figure out a thumbnail that would convey that this episode contains a diversity of experiences. That's the best thing I could come up with.
@@GrandAdventure It was like looking at different worlds... the little bit that can be seen. I only recognized one world and that was the huge rock cliffs (can't remember their name). Gord
Fantastic season, Marc. Perce Rock is what I couldn't remember... your favorite from this season. I personally liked seeing Cape May again. But actually being there, I know, it is too congested trying to get around. Not fun... And I was truly fascinated with Wildwood and it's incredibly well persevered Americana modern architecture. That is so much a part of my childhood... like the old Howard Johnson's and Stuckeys and their Salt Water Taffy that would drag the fillings right out of your teeth.😮 DooWhoop... what a name, aye? 😅 Thanks for the memories...😊🎉 Gord
We didn't have much issue getting around Cape May, Gord. Perhaps it's because it was just after Labor Day? Or maybe it's because it's the "end of the line" for the Jersey Shore. Either way, it wasn't that busy at all. Oh, man...I remember that HoJo's taffy. I'll occasionally pick up some salt water taffy from Sweet's, a confectioner right here in SLC. They do a pretty good job.
Marc, you clearly had an amazing Rv adventure in 24. Very happy to see that you enjoyed our little part of the world. Having grown up about 45 minutes from Perce, it is nice to see that others appreciate the beauty as much as we do. Grave's Island is also special to us, as our son and daughter in law live nearby so we often camp there and get a great visit at the same time. We also spent some time in the Finger Lakes area this past fall, and absolutely loved it. Actually we camped in Watkins Glenn State Park and it was superb. The Natchez trail is high on my bucket list now, certainly in part thank to you. It had been on my radar, but having watched your experience there confirmed it. We are also looking forward to getting our trailer back out west to spend some time in "your" neck of the woods. Continued safe travels, and looking forward to following along with your 2025 season.
Thank you as always, Shawn. We positively adored the Gaspe and Maritimes both, as this episode illustrated, and look forward to some day getting back there to explore further. In the meantime, 2025 is shaping up to include another Canadian experience, this time out west through BC and Alberta. We'll be traveling a bit with the YT channel Eddie at Large and our friends Dale & Pat, and we've already successfully booked sites together in Banff, Jasper, Yoho & Waterton Lakes National Parks when each one's reservations opened this week and last. Outside of those four national parks, however, we want to get back to boondocking more. Boondocking was certainly something that we missed by heading east in 2024. We have a lot of research and satellite imagery scanning ahead over the next few months.
@@GrandAdventure wow that sounds like another fun season coming up. We lived in BC for 8 years back in the 90s, so did a lot of roaming around that area back then. It has been awhile though, but we should be getting back out there sometime in the next 18 months. That is the plan anyway. Enjoy
@@ShawnPatterson402 if there are any must-sees from back there, backchannel me. Right now we're planning to enter BC near Fernie, head up through Waterton, Banff, Icefields and Jasper, then head west all the way to Prince Rupert, then back down through Whistler to Vancouver before jogging east through Kelowna to Nelson, and south back into the US.
Hey Larry! It certainly was. That F-350 is amazing. It pulls the trailer like it's not even back there, I get terrific fuel economy, and the 48-gallon tank means that I can tow for ~500 miles between fill-ups.
😁Very true, Charles. Getting our trailer wheel bearings repacked is turning into an annual spring ritual for us. BUT ... we did have a broken trailer leaf spring in Bar Harbor, Maine this year. Fortunately, it broke right as we were rolling into town just a few miles short of our campground there, and a local Maine mobile RV tech made the problem as painless as possible for us.
@@CharlesinGA no worries. It was an easy resolution, and therefore easy to miss. I heard the clanging of the broken leaf, and pulled over in Ellsworth, ME where I instantly saw what was making the noise. So I just limped to the campground, where on check-in I secured the RV tech's business card and referral. I called him up, and by noon the next day he had finished replacing the broken leaf spring right at our campsite. Easy peasy.
Nice recap. Anytime you are able to travel and make it back home safely is a great trip. Thanks Don
Thanks Don! That's similar to my motto that any day I go from horizontal to vertical is a good one.
Sorry I missed last night. I really enjoyed falling along your 2024 adventure. Looking forward to seeing 2025.
Thanks Melody! We appreciate having you and Lou following along with us, no matter when that takes place.
Thank you Marc. Here's to many more great adventures for you. Enjoy 2025!
Thank YOU for a wonderful stay! There's a present for Charles that I have to drop in the mail, so keep an eye out for it.
Great season
Indeed it was, Don. Now our challenge for 2025 is to exceed it.
Loved revisiting your favorite travel of 2024 looking forward to next weeks Q25 and the Lord willing seeing you at Q26.
That's a plan, Norm.
I love all you dots, Marc... Great way to showcase a slight preview. Looking forward to it, buddy. 😊

@@gorrdd we'll refresh your memory tonight. 😉

As always thank you for sharing.
As always, thank you for watching, Joe.
Great video Marc. Nice recap of the adventure.
Thank you, Tracy.

You are very talented at making videos, glad you enjoyed our province of Nova Scotia, we live in the Valley and are from Yarmouth and Clare NS
Thank you Wes! You live in a very beautiful part of this world.
Not that is an EPIC adventure!
It certainly felt like one.
Loved every adventure, how are you gonna top that in 2025? Will definitely be waiting to see. ❤
Oh, we've got some ideas up our sleeve. ;)
@GrandAdventure i bet you do, we will moving to west virgina next year so that's an adventure in its self.
@@grillinandchillinwithdeb I hadn't realized. Good luck on the move! WV has some beautiful areas.
@GrandAdventure thanks, it's beautiful there and we are looking forward to a nice mountain atmosphere and great hikes.
That was quite an adventure this last year. How did the New F350 work for you ?
Hey Larry! It certainly was. That F-350 is amazing. It pulls the trailer like it's not even back there, I get terrific fuel economy, and the 48-gallon tank means that I can tow for ~500 miles between fill-ups.
Over 10K miles and not a burned up wheel bearing, broken spring or damaged axle, amazing! then the Benz took a dump on you..........

@GrandAdventure I must have missed that
