Two beautiful folks on beautiful Cape Breton Island. Thank you for the visit and the kind words, loved it all.
Our pleasure!
Most people know of Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone, but that wasn't his only interest. He was also into aviation, and was a pioneer in Canadian aviation, as well as developing of hydrofoil boats, one of which held the world speed record for water craft for over a decade, set on September 9, 1919, travelling 70.86 mph. His work based in Beinn Bhreagh on beautiful Bras d'Or Lake also was responsible for the first powered flight, The Silver Dart, in Canada taking place 23 February 1909.
The National Historic Site in Baddeck, NS beside Bra d’Or Lake is amazing, really worth the time spent there.
Yo guys , you are in my neck of the woods, you are great ambassadors for the Island. Imagine all those views with a colour pattelle of leaves, this will happen between Oct. 15 and Nov. 15. You must come back.
You could spend a month here and still not see out all.
Thanks for visiting, yo ,all come back now!
Lol great humour the blue coat asking if Texas was an English colony 😃
Yes it was
Although I've never been on the Cabot Trail, apparently it's world renowned for being one of the most scenic drives on the planet. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
Been there and it took my breath away.
If you want the full Cape Breton experience and a soundtrack for your adventure, check out the Rankin Family, a country/folk musical group from Cape Breton.
💯
We are there now. Try to visit every fall. Be sure to check out the south shore of Nova Scotia.
AAHHH !!! Cape Breton ! The place where I was born.. Awesome videos Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure!
One important fact about louisbourg, canada parks has and is rebuilding that site one building at a time basing themselves on the original plans. Truly a gem. They ordered the windows glass pane back from the same company in france that supplied the original colony.
Ha when you said farewell to NF, have you heard farewell to NS. Google it a good song. My son in law is from Cape Breton, his brother in law’s brother is Bruce Guthro a famous CB singer who just passed. As someone from there posted further down Oct and the leaves is stunning! If you are in north Sydney there is a restaurant called Janes or was there when we were there for our daughters wedding) the best ever Lemon Pie!
We bought a house in SW Nova Scotia after vacationing, and that was years ago. Enjoy your time here. Don't get hooked.
I also recommend a great unique place to stay on the Cabot Trail is the Dancing Moose.
Great to hear you liked the Dancing Goat, it’s my favourite restaurant over there. You drove by my trailer as I’m just down the road from the Dancing Goat.
A very awesome trip❗️
It's been 33 years since We made the same trip while living in NH.
Now retired and living in NC, it's time to make the trip again.
Thank you so much for bringing back very fond memories‼️
Smart guard, but then I think Stacy always keeps an eye on Phil. So Stacy, the way that you can tell if a ski bunny's ski pants are tight enough is if you put a dime in the back pocket you can should be able to tell if it's head or tails, or that's what I was told back in the 1970s when I was skiing. Just letting you know so you can be a properly dressed ski bunny. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Thank you for the kind words !! Canada loves you guys.
Our pleasure!
@@todayissomeday Love our American brothers and sisters.
You are enjoying life! Great video - thank you.
I am from the West coast of Canada, Vancouver island we don’t have Lobster in the Pacific North West , when I was in the Navy in Halifax a group of us went to Cape Breton bought some lobster and went to a park and cooked it there I can never forget that experience, Even though we do crab boils out doors on Vancouver Island,
In1968 we were in Prince Rupert and had lobster…it wasn’t as good as Atlantic lobster.
Since I am from Cape Breton I can easily tell you it is a fantastic place with great scenery great food great music and great people. Welcome welcome. Nice shots.
We agree!
My brother lives in NS and he was saying it's been their worse summer ever. Between burning up this spring to rain almost everyday after that. They just got hit with Lee and got lucky with no damage just power lost with the cell service down as well.
Something else to think about if you want to see Cape Breton and you love music is to come in October during the Celtic Colours music festival... there is even a show in the fortress of Louisburg.
Atlantic Canada is the best ❤❤❤
Gunpowder? You mean freedom! 😊
Loved the video, almost feels like I was there
Glad to see that you both made it to the Cabot Trail. I spent my honeymoon there in 91 along with PEI. The Canadian maritimes are the most scenic and hospitable places you can go in Canada. I hope you can make it to Prince Edward Island (PEI) a must see and a grand finale, can’t miss; Quebec City, which is where Canada’s most historical NAVAL invasion of the British took place in 1759. You can arrange to personally fire the daily 12:00 pm cannon at the Citadel. It’s the safest, most picturesque, and only one of two walled cities in North America. The other is Campeche, Campeche, Mexico. May God bless your travels! 😊🇨🇦💙
glad you enjoyed our province of NS. We love it here
Us too!
We just got back from Cape Breton! It was a whirlwind tour through 5 provinces, including our home province of Ontario, through New Brunswick (the Bay of Fundy and its 45 foot tides is stunning), Nova Scotia and PEI. Newfoundland will have to wait until next year. Glad you enjoyed our Atlantic gems.
I think You should go back in December!🤣⛷🏂
Thank you so much for all those beautiful views. I literally felt my body relax. Thanks again. ✌️😃
Glad you enjoyed
Cape Breton is one of our favorite places in Canada.
The Road to Hana on Maui and the Cabot Trail are the 1 and 1A of scenic drives IMO
Fireplace and mulled wine sounds good!!!
Welcome to New Scotland in Canada and the highlands of Cape Breton. Stop in and have whiskey in Glendora distillery and have Canadian / North Americas first and oldest single malt whiskey
Beautiful scenic drive, yes. Best in the world, No.
Thank you for highlighting another part of our beautiful country.
We loved it so much. We definitely want to come back.
Cape Breton really is stunningly beautiful. It’s a wonderful place to linger for days. Thanks for reminding me of a great trip my wife and I took there.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful video that you captured. Looks like a great place to visit for sure!
A friend of my wifes is a baker at the Dancing Goat, the grew up together in the beautiful Margaree Valley, the salmon hatchery in Margaree is worth a visit, and free too...
I was there last summer......the scenery is stunning!
Just a beautiful area
Yes indeed!
The Cape Breton National Park is a must stop with great trails down to an incredible ocean view. Also, must see Alexander Graham Bell museum in Bras D'or.
Baddeck is where the museum is Bras D"or is an hr away going towards sydney
We toured the whole island in August
Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Thank you both so much for sharing your tour of our home province and Newfoundland where I lalso ived in the early 1970's. We still miss it living our here in BC!
Glad you enjoyed it
Well now you're in my old stomping grounds. I grew up in Inverness County, Cape Breton and go back to visit every summer. Cool seeing you at The Dancing Goat in Margaree. I was also in Ingonish, Ski Cape Smokey and went on the Englishtown Ferry in early July. Did you spend any time in Cheticamp? KYD also toured The Cabot Trail in July.
Wonderful videos I can watch those all day long. These videos rock.
Glad you like them!
@@todayissomeday They are the bestest
Come by in the fall when the leaves are turning color. You will be overwhelmed. Thanks for coming.
What a gorgeous place. Thanks for sharing your beautiful trip.
Glad you enjoyed it
I hope you folks get to see more of Nova Scotia, there is so much more to see. The Bay of Fundy is great as well as the Annapolis Valley. If you get to Halifax I recommend you get to Tony's Donair and have a unique to Halifax food called a Donair. Get one with the normal fixings tomatoes onions and extra sauce.
Love the land, great video!
Thanks 👍
I’m a comedy on ski! I usually do a face plant!!😅😅
That is so beautiful and the Fort and the history there was interesting, I was glad that the guard allowed Phil in. I hope yall got away before the hurricane 🌀 came through . Stay safe
Glad you enjoyed it. We left NS well before the storm.
Thanks for showing the beautiful Cape Breton Island. My father and his side of our family are from Brad d'Or and we still have family in North Sydney.
Our pleasure!
Who says we don’t want to watch for four hours?😁
The colors of this video make it breathtaking
We camped there in our family pop-up Apache in 1976. The ferry ride over there was a storm and we had 30' waves. It was scary to us teens and everyone side from my father and I were constantly sick. We went to the cafeteria to escape the constant"noise." 😂🤣😂
Great Video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
That was beautiful!
Thank you!
Perhaps you have already left Cape Breton, but if not, I recommend a quick turn around so that you can make a quick visit to the Clucking Hen (Dancing Goat, c'mon now) on the Cabot Trail Cafe and sample their bakewares. Especially the Butter Tarts - a truly unique Canadian Sweet Treat (Poutine - c'mon now) 45703 Cabot Trail - near North Shore. If you don't, or can't you are missing something very, very special and uniquely Canadian.
But you can save this for your return journey. As they say, once you have been to Cape Breton, your heart will never leave. You will be back. After many years of abscence, my heart is still somewhere wandering between Mabou and Saint Ann's Bay. Stay safe you two - Bernie from Bedford 😄
Our cottage is located in St Ann’s Bay on the Cabot Trail and close to the Clucking Hen and you are correct the food is fantastic
Yes very nice been there years ago would do it all over again
Would like to go back again this time with my 14 foot camper and the right travel partner
Thank you Phil and Staci for sharing your vacation with us! I love ya'lls videos!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Bonjour ... they say it like one word.
We drove the Cabot Trail in our Class C this summer. We stayed in Cheticamp 1 night, then went to Hideaway Campground and Oyster Market for 4 nights. Beautiful scenery everywhere!!! We found that the roads in the National Park were very good, but outside of the park, they ranged from bad to awful! Add time to your trip for that portion of the drive.
Thanks for sharing!
Proud sailors, Aye!
Just beautiful loved every min of the video Thank You .
Glad you enjoyed it
Go to Quebec City - it's like going to Europe without leaving North America and Fall is a great time to go there. Oh and go there via Tadoussac - my favourite place to go!
I can’t believe we haven’t run into you two! We were in many of the same places for 10 days until last Tuesday when we bugged out due to Hurricane Lee. We camped in Cheticamp and Baddeck. Someday…
Great video, guys.
I was thinking as you were showing the sights, man I hope they don't rush through this area scenery is beautiful.
I had to laugh, Phil the puppy. More like Phil the old sea dog, isn't it ?
This area reminds me a lot of Alasks. Guessing that's why I think scenery is so nice.
Thank ya'll so much for all you do to bring these beautiful areas to those of us that are stuck at home.
God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels.
We will
The best view on the Cabot Trail is at Black Brook Cove.
Nice one!
Thanks!
In December nothing is open on that side of the island and if u travel counter-clockwise cheticamp to ingonish u could be hit with 11 or more feet of snow you are in the mountains north and MacKenzie mountains scary drive the whole trail that time of year is scary so u go to sydney in December there is no snow,might be raining,so December good luck if u do.
Great video!! We are going to ABF with the XSCAPERS. Our good friends (and someday crew) are going as well. Maybe we will get to see you.
Have fun! We will miss it this year. We plan on going next year though.
Too bad you guys won’t be at the Balloon Fiesta! We’ll be there, would have been fun to meet you.
Next year for sure!
It’s a shame you didn’t make it up to Meat Cove. Beautiful area and a great place to eat at the Hut.
Next time!
Enjoyed your video. Last year we had planned to do the Cabot Trail upon returning from Newfoundland. But we were chased out of Canada by Hurricane Fiona. So we came back to do it this summer. We enjoyed a variety of activities along the way and it was interesting to compare with what you did. How many days did you take do do the Cabot Trail? It was hard to tell. Did you go to Meat Cove?
We did it in one day, but wished we would have had more time to go back.
@@todayissomeday That makes sense. We did in 3 weeks
👍
❤👍
Have you stopped into the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck?
Did you get caught up in post tropical storm Lee or have you departed before it arrived?
Hope you get a chance to stop into Halifax (my city, noon time cannon shot off at the Citadel) and Peggy's Cove (stay off the black rocks, they're slippery and you could be swept out into the ocean).
Have a great visit.
We hit all of those spots and loved them. We left NS already.
😄👍👍👍👍💪🤩
Are you traveling this in Ruby? I don't think I saw her in this episode. If so, I would love to hear more about the site(s) you've stayed in and if there were any challenges RVing there.
Not the cabot trail. We did that in the Jeep. We were at Boondockers Welcome in Cape Breton.
I love the reference to gunpowder ❤❤❤😂it sure is glorious. Thank you for this super beautiful vlog on Cape Breton. 🇨🇦🇨🇦Love they have the crucifix....also the boat in the Church is to respect the lost fisherman. Such an amazing place❤ The Church is definitely amazing ❤
We have added this drive to our list. We are still debating on whether or not to take the ferry to Newfoundland. What would be the amount of time that we need to stay if we do go? Lynn and Danny
We were there 3 weeks and wished we had another 2 weeks. There is so much to see and do, we just didn't give ourselves enough time. The ferry ride was awesome with the cabin. I slept and Stacy worked a bit. :)
Thanks! 😊
Why you fell in love also because of the PEOPLE ;-)
Your next trip outta be in the Province of Québec !!
Spot on!
and don't worry, most people speaks very good English and the other will be able to grasp something and help you :-)
I think we were the ones that sounded different...LOL
Quebec City is magical. Find a place for the RV on the other side of the St Lawrence near Levis and then take the ferry across. Runs every 20mins and only takes 12/-15 minutes to cross. Then explore old Quebec on foot.
@@normandrioux2529 I was watching a video where a woman from France (bilingual) recently visited Quebec City and Montreal. She said the majority of the time when she told people that she speaks French, they continued speaking to her in English. She had been told that people would not speak to her in English but she experienced the complete opposite.
Phil, I have a question that you hopefully can help me with. I’m ISO a Extended Maintenance Packet since I failed to purchase when a purchased our RV…..Help!!!
I would start back with where you purchased the RV. We got ours through the dealer here in TX.
@@todayissomeday Thank you for the reply. Good Sam’s is offering a program for $3500. Annually which is the way we are going to go. Thank you again
I did not know they had Palm tress in Canada 😂😂😂😂
Maybe...LOL
I've seen palm trees in Vancouver.
There are palm trees in Dartmouth..
We would like to see the video where Stacy whoops Phil’s butt! 😂
So would I!!! This is Phil typing :)
@@todayissomeday Oh my goodness I needed a great laugh this morning!! Thanks Phil! We love you guys! Safe travels!
Jeremy
Do you do your own Drone photography, just curious?
Yes. I have my part 107 license to be able to fly for the channel.
Thank you,I enjoy your travels. We did Newfoundland two years ago and missed the Icebergs also. I will be heading back there next June to see the extravaganza.
U could come for the fall colors unless we get hit with a hurricane then all the leaves are gone. Bwahhhhh
It is pronounced Newfenland.
Better you then me... absalutly beautiful country but as long as there PM is still in charge they can keep it for now 🇺🇸👍
We spent six weeks in Nova Scotia thus summer. Didn’t hear anything about Canadian politics the whole time. How refreshing🇺🇸🇨🇦
@@counselthyself2591 just as bad as the PM if not worse, but hopefully we can vote him out.. The Canadians are stuck, but Canada is just a stunning place to visit.
It is gorgeous. But I’ve been to places that are much more extraordinary, like driving around Madeira.
Well, our experience with Cape Breton was not like yours. I will say the people & the music were great. And that is what we went there for. For over 7 years I have been planning to participate in the Celtic Colours music festival. We have been in Nova Scotia before (lower half) so we knew what to expect, or at least we thought we knew. We live in Oregon, we are used to rain, we are used to mountains and ocean views being right outside our door. The Cabot trail left a lot to be desired for us. Oregon has better views and better roads.
Don't get me wrong, we have traveled the world, Europe to Asia. Always on our own and not in tours or cruise ships. And Cape Breton was. . . OK, not great.
Especially when at the end of the season. When they say end of season, they mean it. Like the doors close and the lights are turned off. The Celtic Colours event draws people in but when the event is over (Oct. 15) then all the restaurants/hotels/shops close till next April because of the severe weather. So when we wanted dinner, the waitress had to tell us what was NOT on the menu because they were not reordering, and the doors were closing in 3 days. Yikes! By the end of our 12 day stay in Cape Breton I was so sick of french fries and Sandwiches. That was all that was left in many of the places (full restaurants not fast food).
Even the fall colors didn't show up this year. The locals were disappointed as well. something to do with a very wet summer caused the trees to go from green to brown with no yellows or oranges. And only a few reds decided to make an appearance.
Glad you had a good time there. We have family in Newfoundland so maybe next time we will go more north.
you guys have gotten so comercialized its boring 👋👋👋bye
