Marc, I have to say it was epic. You captured Perce spot on. You also had some fantastic weather. We took some friends around our home region a couple of summers ago, and while in Perce we took the boat tour (in July) the seas were so rough that water was coming over the bough of the boat, and the captain found it too rough to go around Ile Bonaventure....no kayaks that day :) I see you met our Gaspe blackfly. My guess is the Gaspe mosquito probably made an appearance as well (not to be mistaken for a hummingbird) Maison du Pecheur is certainly amongst the best dining anywhere, and Pit Caribou can brew with the best in my humble opinion. It appears that you had a great stay there.... and boy that north coast drive is epic. As many times as I have done it in my life and it never gets old...unlike me. Looking forward to your next adventures, and continued safe travels.
Thank you so very much Shawn! We can't tell you how much we enjoyed our week in Percé, and it probably showed. We were relatively lucky with the mosquitoes, too, and the weather was certainly calm for us throughout the week. We put the video segments together in an order that makes the most sense to us to tell a story, and not necessarily in chronological order. That kayak out to the rock actually took place on the Sunday evening that we arrived in Percé. The conditions were perfect, and who knows if they would've stayed that way, so I went down with the boat as soon as we had made camp. 😆
So many beautiful views this week, Marc. I loved the way the weather changes so quickly off the coast... it's almost like Colorado 😃. You really covered it all. I don't think I would like being among all those birds with all those various odors. I like the coast but the smell of dead fishy sea creatures washed up on shore was never my fave. At the rate that natural limestone cliff structure (Percé) is eroding and collapsing... I don't tend to think it will last but a few more hundred years. Limestone literally melts over time with acid (high pH) rain. Your right, with all those seals around, the bull seals are very territorial and could easily swamp your kayak. I really enjoyed the driving sections of the trip, along the coast, on the way to your destination. Very pleasant and beautiful. Thanks for all the work you put into this week's adventure, Marc. Ps. By the way, you must have had a nice little wobble to your gait after those four sample beers. Craft beer tends to be stronger than popular and premium store bought beer.😂 Gord
@@gorrdd thank you so much as always! Actually, those glasses of beer were smaller than they looked on video. That's going to be my story, anyway, and I'm sticking to it. 😁
Wow! The area around Percé looked like a great place to hang out for a few days. The Percé rock looked like the one we have off of the Sonoma Coast. The campground looked great, but I can’t imagine how you would have gotten your trailer out of that spot if the campground was full. The dinners looked so good; I would have gone for your plate! Mrs. Grand Adventure’s plate looked huge! One has to love the exchange rate! Thanks, Ram 👍🏼👍🏾 PS, I think that was one of your longest videos.
Yes Ram, your PS is correct. And there were more things to see and do that we left on the table. There's SO much around around Percé, and it's all so photogenic! This was one of our favorite stops thus far this season, for both of us -- a rare moment of agreement. 😆 Most of the campgrounds around there are tight thanks to small plots of land. Ours was no exception -- thank God it wasn't full. It wasn't so much the length of the site as it was the fact that the sites are set 90 degrees to such a narrow driveway.
❤! Truly stunning and masterfully documented video of the area. This episode of GA has put this area on our must travel list. The detail and time put in to bring this to us is simply unparalleled. With all this to enjoy I have to say you were correct in reply to our comment last week that this is truly epic. But with all this stunning beauty of an area by the sea that you’ve captured to perfection….your clip of happy girl completely melted our hearts. Thanks for being you and taking us along.❤!
Thank you as always for coming along! There's so much to see and do in the Percé area, and so much unique natural beauty that it should be on any RV traveler's short list. Everything in this episode (save for the first segment of the drive from Cap-Chat to Percé) was filmed within 15 minutes of our campsite, and we left some things on the table after a full week in town, too. Bar Harbor (ME) gets so much attention in the RV community, and while I'll be the first to admit that we've not yet been to Bar Harbor, we'll be there in a few weeks and I can't help but wonder how it could stack up to Percé. But I also took note that the guy who made my sandwich on Bonaventure Island said that Bar Harbor is his favorite place, so who knows? Zoe has adjusted better to losing her eyesight than we ever could have hoped for. She's always had a terrific happy-go-lucky attitude, and that hasn't changed one bit.
Bar Harbor very busy and touristy. But the island itself is cool especially the less busy Southwest and Bass Harbors. It’s been a while since I’ve been there but enjoyed my time….some very cool sunrises sitting on the cliffs in one the campgrounds I stayed at. It will be interesting to get your take and comparison forthcoming. I really liked where you were at there and bonus that everything was close by. Have a great week!
We have traveled to Canada multiple times but were not aware , until a month ago, of the area in northern Quebec. Now you have put it on our list. Great video. Your videos look as good or better than may * professional* videos we have ever seen.
Great video as normal enjoyed it. Just spent the last week boondocking on the wall at Badlands NP I'm now in Box Elder for a month to view around the area have seen most of the area but know I'll see things I have missed.
This was a great stop - really love that view you had and the town looked so nice. The hikes were great and paddling out to the rock was fantastic (though I bet you would have liked company). You should have sent the drone down to those boats to get some lobster :). Another fantastic episode - looking forward to more!
Wow, I’m planning to return to Prince Edward Island next year and I might just go up this way first. That site for $55 may be the best view to dollar ratio ever (well, east of the Mississippi). Those vintage lobster boats remind me of PEI (as you have likely seen by now). Many of them have been passed down 3-4 generations. Also, this video must be in the 95th percentile for length!
@@OdysseyCamper LOL, It was a Herculean editing effort that I hope to not have to repeat anytime soon. You most certainly should head up here either to or from PEI as long as you're in the neighborhood. It's a very different sense of place than PEI, but also very different in its scenery, culture, etc. It has been one of our favorite stops this season.
Great video as usual! I've never been to that part of CA, but they do prepackaged smoked salmon on the Makah Indian Reservation out on the Olympic Peninsula. Out of this world goodness! Can't wait to go back.

I was going to use the word “epic”. Now I need a different adjective 😂

❤ awesome thank you❤
Thank you for watching, Joanne!
Changed a lot since we were there 52 years ago. Enjoyed seeing the area we had traveled on motorcycles in 1972.
We're pleased that we could bring you back, William.
Beautiful
Thank you Jim!
So happy to see you out on the kayak again!
@@pennysaufley8974 Thank you, Penny! It was good to be back out on the water for the first time in a month, especially in such a spectacular location.

Guido thanks for this epic video ! For sure we will visit this part of Quebec & we'll visit the magnificent BIRDS in Bonaventure Island.
It's a must-see, Diana. There's no other way to describe it.
Marc, you have done it. You finally out did yourself! Exceptional video, exceptional content. Thank you!
Thank you so very much, Robert!
Stunningly gorgeous and beyond awesomeness ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Scotty! It's an amazing place.
This as a true joy to watch. You captured it all beautifully. Thanks for your work and sharing your talents
@@stephanielevings696 Thank you very much, Stephanie! Glad that you enjoyed it.

Must say, what a awesome place. Thanks Don
@@daviscrt It most certainly is, Don.
What an awesome episode! We really enjoyed watching 👍🏻
Thank you Erin! We're thrilled to hear that.

Thank you! Definitely put the Gaspe (including Perce) on your list. Nice to have you with us, thanks so much for watching.
Kewl video about the area ...Enjoying your Canadian gig so far.....Stay safe, be well...
@@akgobears Thank you very much, and you do the same
That meal at La Maison de Pecheur looked fabulous!!
@@PeterSalts it was off the charts.
AMAZING Views and video!! Merci Beaucoup Marc! Very appreciated these greats views! 👍
Merci Marco!

Nice video Marc, very well done. Thanks for sharing it.

Great show, good the see Zoe
Thank you Don! She's having a ball.
Awesome video my friend! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thank you, and thanks for coming along!
I believe we were at the site next to you (#40) a couple of years ago…definitely a place to go see…great vid man!!
Thank you! Yep, we were in 37 for this episode IIRC.
❤ it, so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Happy 4th and safe travels.
@@grillinandchillinwithdeb Thank you Deb! We wish you the same.

@@sholinwright2229 that sounds like as good a reason to go back as any I've heard. Thank you, glad that you enjoyed our little tour of Percé.
If there are No Sharks in this show, I'm going home...
