- Back to the USA | Ausable Chasm is AWESOME!
(EPISODE 255)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we leave the KOA in Quebec City and make our way to the United States border. We weren't as nervous this time but we were still curious since we weren't sure if it would be harder getting back to the United State. Will we have issue this time? 🤔 What questions did they ask us? 😒
Once we made it back across the US border 🇺🇸, we stayed the night at a campground in Plattsburg, NY before starting our journey the next morning to the Ausable Chasm. But first, we find a place with lots of homemade bakery items to satisfy Pie Girls sweet tooth.
The Ausable Chasm is something you will definitely want to put on your bucket list and you’ll know why once you watch this video. Afterwards, we make our way to Willmington, NY where we find another place to stay and a very good place to eat.
Be sure to catch all the details in this episode of, LivinRVision!

Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Welcome back to the states you two. The chasm was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to NY. Hope you enjoyed your stay and if you are still here we have so many parks and historical things to do here. Hope you made it to fort Ticonderoga, lake George or saratoga. I look forward to your videos every Saturday, the quality of the content is the best.
You all should do a video on all the beautiful pictures you have taken. That would be a awesome video to watch. I always watch your videos. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful places. My son and I went to Myrtle Beach, after watching your video and love it.. we planning on going to Florida soon...
You used to be able to take a whole tour through out the Chasm until the ice storm we had in 1998 took a bridge out... The boat ride (which was a real wooden boat not an inflatable one) from the end used to be FUN, alot of teachers would work there in the summer. In the winter the ice forms it is so pretty!!!
I have never heard of Ausable Chasm. It looks incredible!
The Chasm was so beautiful! I would never be able to walk it so I loved your filming and narration. Thanks for taking me along!! Continued safe travels.
LOVE this part of the ADK! We've been vacationing in this area for 20 years. The North East and New England area are absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see the next video. My guess is you're going to Lake Placid. I guess I will wait and see. Have fun!
Also glad to see one of my favorite channels spent time in the Adirondacks. I hope overall you enjoyed your time here. 😊
You drove through my old neck of the woods when I was a little kid!
Beautiful scenery in Chasm. Growing in the five boroughs of New York City you don’t realize the beauty of the state. Another well made video.
I live about 2 minutes away from Rulfs Orchard that you stopped at , very cool seeing it on youtube.
You sure have a way of finding the neatest places. Have fun at your meet and greet today! 😎🥸🤓🏈
A must see while you’re in New York is Letchworth State Park
That was just beautiful so happy you made a stop there that was such an enjoyable video! Welcome back to the 🇺🇸 United States! Have you two ever did a live Q and A?
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks. :)
We did one a few years ago
My father grew up in Au Sable Forks NY and I was born in Plattsburgh NY.We would travel north every Summer from Long Island to Au Sable Forks and Silver Lake Mt.We would camp at our family lake house on Silver Lake.
Thanks for the tour. Safe travels.
Well, you two have done it again. Week after week professional and interesting videos. A few funny comments from Brian never hurts either. Thanks so much!
Aaaagh! You were in NY! Whoohoo! Sometime you might want to swing by Rome, NY. There is a revolutionary war recreated fort right in the middle of the town-- Ft. Stanwix. And a couple of nice little restaurants right around there too.
Thanks for the suggestions! :)
I grew up in that area. It is pronounced Aw- Sable with a long a, like the animal Sable. The Adirondacks are beautiful. You should try kayaking the Saranac River.
I just want to tell you that ever since I started watching/following your channel, I have been so impressed with the music that you choose on your videos. You always select the PERFECT songs/music to go with your videos and they music is very meaningful and 'gets to me" Very beautiful music.
On a funny side note, being New Yorkers, we always pronounced it "Awe-say-bull" (Maybe we have been saying it wrong all this time, lol ) Probably the people who live there pronounce it their own way. 🙂
🧡
My backyard! I grew up about 20 miles south of AuSable..and it's pronounced AhSable (like the fur-sable). Great job Michelle and Brian.....your videos of the area are making me smile with all the memories of growing up in the area.
Funny thing is, we always look up the pronunciation and then we catch ourselves still saying it wrong. 😂 Once the video has been taken, it’s done…I can’t edit our voice so I just leave it and figure it’s not worth using overlay text just to give the correct pronunciation. That feels too petty so I just leave it.👍🏻😊🤓
You do a great job...We've followed you and Michelle on your journeys since your very first video. @@LivinRVision
That is a beautiful area. My family is from Elmira, NY which is by Watkins Glenn and Corning NY. Those are places you should check out. Watkins Glenn has the NASCAR track, but also a beautiful cavern like where you're at. Corning is where Corning Glass is at. The Finger Lakes are awesome too.
Thanks for sharing! 🧡
So true about Scott TP! The one idea I’m remembering for our 2024 Canada trip is to bring more Scott.
😂👍🏻
nice
Lake Placid had a KOA.... Did you go to the Pourman? Looked yummy! It was cool to see you drive on the road to my school I attended and the road where I worked to AuSable Forks! Enjoy your stay in my neck of the woods!
Wow! I had never heard of Ausable Chasm. So beautiful! God is the greatest artist! Thanks for sharing! We have been watching your videos for a few months now. Always so informative and pretty entertaining.
Great video, as always. We call you the Macinac Couple because we were there at the same time you were. We have not been able to get on the road this year so I really appreciate the filming of your travels down the road. It helps me not miss getting out as much as I would like. THANKS!!!
Oh my golly!! This just went on our bucket list. What a beautiful place. Thx so much for sharing. ❤️
Have you ever tried Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds? Usually have large well maintained sites, plenty of privacy, and well managed. Good prices too!
Yes, the last time we used one was in Iowa. Usually very nice just not full hook up which is not a big deal for us.
Great scenery (kind of reminded me of Ouray on the
waterfall walkway). ❤
While we were in Florida (Jan to April)….you were exploring and did some great video’s one of the Columbia restaurant one of our favorites. Now we are back home and you are here in New York.
This is our first year taking trips with our Pleasureway on tour 2.2 which we just got back from Seneca Lake area. Great wineries along the east and west side. Corning museum was nice as well and the main attraction is the Watkins Glen Gorge. Thanks for your video of Ausable…..which we will have to see.
I bet you headed to Lake Placid…beautiful area. Went there this year with rv.
You know...I have been wanting to go to Ireland and have started to make some plans to go next year for a Big Birthday. No I'm not telling you which # and I know you're a Gentleman and would never ask. I'll whisper it to Michelle someday. lol Anywho, back to the story... I may instead rent a fancy RV and go to some of these wonderful places! This looked wonderful. Hope your starting to feel better Brian, you seem like you've been struggling w/a cold... Thanks again for the Quality Entertainment! #seeyanextweek :)
Missy says no way to that bath house.. LOL !! Those falls were beautiful!! Great video !! Great to meet you both. Take care.
😂It was a true pleasure meeting you both as well!
Ausable is such a great place. We took a trip there in 2017 and found where my wifes grandfather carved his initials in the rock where you get on the raft. He did this in the 1920s
Very cool!
Thanks for to video. Beautiful area.
Had to laugh, we here in the vermont/New York area, we are right across lake Champlain from there, call Ausable chasm; ahh-sable chasm. Beautiful place, next time cross the lake into Vermont for more beautiful scenery especially late September early October for foliage season. Route 100 or route 7! 🍁
It's always fun hearing come here's try and say some of these names, in NH we had no use for the letter R is it's in the middle of the word.
If they said Con-cord, we knew they not from here.
If they said War-chester, we knew they were not from MA.
Yes, that is on our list to go during foliage. Unfortunately this was the time that we had to pass through. Always make the best of what you have. 😊🤓
We also knew the correct pronunciation before visiting but we kept saying it the way. 😂 Unfortunately during editing I can’t change what we say. 😂
Nice to know about the Scott TP. We are going to be planning a trip to Alaska and this will be on the list. Big drive through Canada 🇨🇦
Love your videos thanks so much
I've never seen nor heard of Ausable until this morning. Very nice place indeed. Now for the missed "ice cream" opportunity. LOL, good thing the roads go both ways, right Michelle? Those were some crazy KOA prices for the condition that camp was in. Such a beautiful adventure. Glad your back in the USA. Thanks for the video!
That’s right! 🤓
Back 40 years ago, my experience was KOA were all the bells and price was high. But for the price it's the McDonald's for camping. One on every tourist spot.
Love your channel and enjoy traveling along. You have some great recommendations for places to travel especially for me and my Class B van. I appreciate your opinions regarding destinations, restaurants, etc. My husband and I visited Ausable Chasm, Howe Caverns, Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain in 1979 when the area was preparing for the 1980 Olympics. It’s as beautiful as I remember, planning to return soon. Last year we visited the NY Finger Lakes, Letchworth State Park and Watkins Glen in autumn, Beautiful areas to explore.
We boon docked at vineyard Harvest Hosts and camped at the State park which had clean accommodations. Looking forward to your next video and adventures on the road.
Omgoodness the waterfalls we gorgeous, I would not have stayed in that KOA either
This is cool!!! I have lived in Keeseville NY all my life! Ausable Chasm is 3 miles from my home. Hope you enjoyed it. If you used your credit card in Canada you should see a discount on your bill. You could of stayed at the Au Sable Chasm campground. Oh I see you stiopped at Rulf's my granddaughter works there. Hope you enjoyed your time in my town!!!
Very cool! We enjoyed it very much so! 😊🤓
My wife and I watch you two every sat. Been with you from the beginning. You both are so down to earth good people. And Brian you make us laugh. Sometimes you don't have to say anything. Just a look into the camera. Any way it's Bill And Kay from Rio Rancho New Mexico.
🧡
Great video! I hope your next stop is Lake Placid! I would like to see that as I remember my IMLP experience several years ago.
Thanks for taking us along & we both agree the editing is spectacular. We've decided to avoid KOA in the future. Overpriced for amenities we don't need, but occasionally we've needed to be near certain attractions. Wish we could "meet & greet" today, but we're in my home state of Georgia, as we wrap up a 3 month adventure. We're headed to home base for a repair of a certain feature. Vinnie bypassed the hot water and we're experiencing some shower houses 😒😑 Ret ta go, Wanda
Oh no! Hope you get it taken care of soon!
@@LivinRVision can you believe it was time for the 2 year service ? We had an appointment for that, so we'll "get er done". I have 18 more states to add to our map 🤔
We've always had good luck at KOA's. Enjoyed the video. Wish we could have been at your meet and greet today! So enjoyed meeting you at the the Tampa meet and greet! ❤❤😊
Enjoyed the video. The KOA ‘s were quite expensive!
Welcome home!
Y'all are the best.
AUS-sable. Great place when the water is running.
Beautiful area
Last time I was in Plattsburgh it was @-15 F.
🥶
Ausable was Gorgeous! Too bad Canada didn't have any thing for your Grandchildren. Excellent video!!!
You're almost saying it correctly. Au sable Chasm....
Another awesome video! I think I know where you are going next…to the Von Trapp Home maybe??? Just a guess 😂
We were at Lake Champlain last summer and sooo wish we would have known about Ausable Chasm. Now we gotta go back! 😂
I looooove cider donuts!!
Tip on left over Canadian money, particularly coins. Stop near the border, fuel up to the amount of change you have. Yes, Canadian gas is expensive, but coins are tough to exchange.
so the chasm is about 5 miles from my house !!!! so funny to see you in our neck of the woods...you sure could of pick better spots to stay but i guess its about the adventure . i see you didnt film any thing of the big town of keesville hum i wonder why lol any ways hope you had a good time up here to bad your not here for the leaf peeping ....im racking my brain wondering where you went next guess ill see next week
Hadn't heard about the Ausable Chasm before and I'm originally from upstate NY. Now that you're back in the US and in NY will you be traveling down around the Finger Lakes area? We will be there in a couple of weeks. Safe traveling.
We’re passed that area. We’ve been at the RV Show this week.
Those were some serious heights 😬 the river actually looked like coke or Pepsi flowing, well at least I thought so 😂😂 what in the world was that waving on the road??😂 safe travels!! 😁
😂😂
I like that song that starts out," Grab your car keys and jacket and ready to go. " What is the actual name of the song, please. I am already an Epidemic Sound subscriber. Thanks
I’m not at my computer to search for it and my old brain doesn’t memorize the various songs I use, sorry.
The new york state park are small but cheap and cute
Out of the Gretchen vans you have had so far which one is your favorite
The current one because of the new quiet AC, new 4 cyl engine and 9 speed transmission. More torque and better mpg.
Best cinder donuts
Love your content, watch every episode. But recently when your music plays the volume is very high. I have to turn the volume down and then back up to hear you talk. It only happens on your channel, so far. Do you have control of the volume when the music plays?
Sorry you’re experiencing that. I see the levels during editing and keep them the same during music on all videos.
I’ve noticed certain songs sound louder even if the levels are set the same. Unfortunately it sounds differently on different sound systems also which I can’t control of course.
Much like watching a movie when certain scenes are played and it gets very loud. Thanks for the feedback.
@@LivinRVisionthanks for your reply. I really enjoy your content and will continue watching for sure.
Your right Montréal road are a disater
Your wife looks great. Roads up north always sucked.
Montreal roads are always under construction.
👍👍
My mom live 1 mile for here
I had cell service on my At&T plan in Canada. I am on my son’s family plan, maybe it comes with service in Canada free
Depends on the plan you have/pay for.
What setup do have for Starlink system
The setup is the normal setup Starlink gives. We do not have the permanent mount on the roof. The service we signed up for at the time was the mobile plan (Starlink for RVs) where you can pause the service at any time.
@@LivinRVision where do you store the equipment in your van
In the cabinet above the bed. Sorry, we don’t always talk about the same things that we have already in other episodes, but sometimes we do. :)
Hey Brian, you are the second rver I see using gloves while putting gas in the vehicle, please explain why? Other than viruses what are you getting protection from. Honestly curious. ❤
I think it’s a preference thing that each of us have. The diesel pumps are usually very oily and get your hands nasty and smelly much more than a gas pump.
👍
Scott toilet paper is the # 1 toilet paper sold in Canada. Your difficulty is you are Wal-Mart shoppers.
Scott “RV & Marine” toilet paper sold in the auto section at Walmarts??
If so, how about letting everyone know where to get it while they are in Canada?
We go to Walmart (especially in Canada) because it’s familiar to us. They DO sell the regular Scott’s
@@LivinRVision They have a store locator on their website.
The last time I went there was around 50 years ago, are they still telling that story about a movie being shot there and hiring a local to jump off the cliff while riding his horse?
We’re not sure because we didn’t do any tours so they could possibly.
I have a feeling you did not enjoy your vacations to canada.
Really? 🤔 Like anywhere we go, we like some thing and some we don’t but there was a LOT that we loved about Canada…which we discussed. The views on our drive, we seen a lot of beauty in Toronto, loved Old Montreal and Old Quebec.
@@LivinRVision it looked beautiful
Do you all belong to harvest host?
We do
Coming down through NY did you do How's Caverns or Watkins Glen State park?
We had to bypass a lot to get to the Hershey RV Show.
@@LivinRVision Watkins Glen is 4.5 hours from Hershey. We ran down to Hershey in Saturday for the show.
@dalefrisbie6372 We would of liked to but we didn’t have any free time to go while in Hershey. Keep in mind that we are not retired.
Did you need passport to cross ?
Yes, that’s what she handed us back.
Pronounced: "aah Say bull"
Yep, but we kept saying it wrong anyway 😂 Can’t edit that out, had to go with it. 😂
(I think it’s actually ah-sah-bul)
We find KOA’s some of the worse and most expensive campgrounds out there, normally won’t stay there unless we’re desperate.
Same here
