[@haileysmith4233]

One of my favorite 4th of July's! And what a great way to remember that day by watching this video.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Hailey! One of my favorites as well. So thankful we were able to make the most of this day with some advice from the locals!

[@holeshothenry388]

😎👍 yes my wife & I are disabled and can't do or go to these places.. you and your family bring joy to our life ,like I'm sure you bring to others too!! The Lord works thru you! Peace be with you & your family!

[@AmericasParks]

My friend, that really blessed my heart! Thank you so much and may both of you continue to walk faithfully with the Lord!

[@jiggerjohnson]

Love the short history lessons. My kids are home schooled and these videos are awesome. Helps us to plan our next adventure too. Keep up the great work! 👍👍

[@AmericasParks]

Really wonderful to hear! Humbled you find the videos educational and interesting. Thanks again for the feedback!

[@glennaddison952]

The things that matter most in life!

[@AmericasParks]

So blessed to have the relationship I enjoy with these children.

[@AmericasParks]

Always need to keep the right focus don't we? All too easy to shift off course...

[@TroutWest]

Amazing history in those parts

[@AmericasParks]

Sure is and until then I was unfamiliar with most of it! Thanks for the comment!

[@christinestange4813]

Another quality Americas Parks video! Interesting history, excellent footage and an introduction into the local cuisine. That salmon on a stick looked wonderful! 😋

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you, Christine! Yeah, looking at the Salmon again during the edit reminded me just how good it was! Have a super remainder of your weekend!

[@babymomx]

Thank you! Always enjoy your videos

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much, Megan! Really glad to hear that!

[@pa_hyker7715]

Maine is awesome especially along the coastline. We drove down Rt. 1 from Acadia to the border, beautiful.

[@AmericasParks]

Yeah, besides Katahdin, personally haven't seem much of the interior of Maine. But, right on, the coastline can't be beat! That drive you mentioned is incredible!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

History lessons are always appreciated - it’s what makes these places interesting! Looks like such a great trip - food, fireworks and a sweatshirt! So special to do these trips with your daughters - I miss traveling with my dad.

[@AmericasParks]

Sure is, Heather! And such a nice tribute to your father! I'm sure he was a special man!

[@NickandRachel]

I really felt like we were there with you! We got to get up to Maine that place looks beautiful! Didn't know anything about the history of that island so that was pretty cool I really enjoyed that.

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that! So cool to hear of your "experience" while watching the video., Really shoot from that with the video work and edits.

[@BluemoonTraveler]

Very very nice video dear friend! Thanks for sharing. Your video is the best of the best. I love your video. Super Like 85. Have a great time. 👍👍

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you my friend! Hope you have a fantastic day today!

[@potatothorn]

great video for us to watch on Veteran's Day! great shots of the fireworks/ lots of good stuff in here, thanks for all the details and info about the island and everything else... we used to swim with our shoes on in Canada, freshwater is nice but leeches/ yuck. ive gotten some that went unnoticed, really gross and a pain to remove from between your toes!! i dont know why but seems like a lot of Maine lakes are pretty shallow i ve noticed that on canoes etc.. awesome video thanks for taking us with you

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Thorn, enjoyed reading what came to mind as you interacted with the video. Appreciate the thoughtfulness! -Randy

[@jacoba5988]

Definitely liked the history lesson

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much! All the best to you!

[@OurNationalAdventure]

That is one huge moose horn! It was so cold while we were up in maine, you are lucky to have been able to swim, except the blood suckers...ohhhsh! The purple blue flowers that are prevalent up in that area through Canada are just so beautiful. They are some of my favorite ♡ beautiful video. Always love watching them.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much! Yeah, those beautiful purple flowers were all over Maine - hardly ever see them anywhere else. Hope the family is doing well! Safe travels!

[@HaleyFamily]

You nailed it again another amazing & inspiring video!!! Thank you for sharing and God bless.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much! Cherishing these special times that I still have remaining before my children "move out." :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@darshanhosakote1810]

Holy cow! I met you at The Delaware water gap this summer. I didn’t knew you had a KZbin channel! Your channel is pretty neat!! I am a big fan of National Parks as well.

[@AmericasParks]

Really cool! Refresh my memory, when/where did we meet at the DWG? BTW- did you see my previously posted video? I shot 1/2 of it that summer day. Thanks for the comment. Neat to hear!

[@juliesmith444]

Makes me want to visit Eastport, Maine!

[@AmericasParks]

Well worth it! :)

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Yeah looked like a beautiful area to spend 4th of July. I appreciate the history lesson on the island. Amazing daddy daughter time for you guys! Thanks for sharing your adventure Randy.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Eric! Neat to find people like you who still appreciate history! One more video from Maine and then I plan to start our big New Mexico trip from the summer. Take care!

[@waterfallmadman]

Great fireworks. Beautiful place. Great food. 😎

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, my friend! Have a blessed week!

[@hankbern9847]

Another fine video and history lesson....Looks like you two had a fine weather week-end as well...nice scenery and fireworks....All the best to Randy and Hailey...Will look forward to your adventures in New Mexico.....Hank and Pam...

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much Hank and Pam! Hope to get the first New Mexico video up near the end of next week. Trust all is well with both of you! Have a blessed rest of the week!

[@MarkH163]

Very nice video, enjoyed the St. Croix Island history, the scenery (the drone footage really adds, too!)! Thank you and God Bless!

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that, Mark! Nice to give some love to these smaller parks. Have a blessed week, my friend!

[@Mikey-Likes-It_101]

Randy, what a great way to spend the 4th of July! Hailey and you gave us a great tour of the area. looks like a nice swim in the pond. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG, . . . Mike

[@AmericasParks]

So many good times! That was a memorable trip to Maine!

[@ATJHTRAVELS]

Awesome video friends sledgehammered that like really enjoyed this sharing this out

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks my fiend! Have a great Sunday!

[@concertsandvinyl]

This came up in my suggestions today... I was really impressed with this video. Great presentation and shots... like this wasn’t a big name national park, but just done really well. Very inspiring.

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate your take on this one. We thought the place would have more to offer. Thankfully heard about the celebration and it made for a very memorable day.

[@colinjaeger2508]

Loved it! How about a video simply showing how you pack for the trips you fly out for? Curious how it all fits (especially with the drone now)

[@AmericasParks]

Yeah, others have also made a similar suggestion. Think it's a great idea. Hopefully I'lll shoot for some tutorial videos in the future. Appreciate the comment!

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

Cool History Lesson! Nice video!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much! Happy to hear there are still some lovers of good history out there! :)

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

@@AmericasParks yah I'm a History Teacher at a private boarding school :) so naturally enjoy a good history lesson 👍

[@RobertLWard]

Lots of fun to watch! Maine sure looks incredible. Another park in the books. Looking forward to seeing some of that NM footage soon. I just booked a winter trip to Lone Pine Ca to see Manzanar NHS and California's newest designated BLM site, Alabama Hills National scenic area, the site of hundreds of movies. Also plan on hitting the west side of Death Valley for some water fall hiking if all goes as planned. You know me man, you cant keep a National Park explorer at home too long! Your clip was great as July 4th has always been a favorite day of mine. Saw you took another swim as well!

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Robert! Always a pleasure to read your kind and insightful comments. Sounds like you have a great trip lined-up! Would love to hit some of those sites! Look forward to your upcoming videos and yes, know the feeling all too well. Need to get out!!!

[@SergeCousineau]

Hello ! What a beautiful video , spending precious time whit your daughter...she will remember this all her life 👍 You were very close to us about 375 miles ...Lol! Have a nice weekend Hélène et Serge💑 👍😉🎥🏔

[@AmericasParks]

I should have stopped by to visit! lol! Thanks for the reminder/encouragement and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@SergeCousineau]

Americas Parks Good morning ! If ever you come on a vacation around Montréal it would be a pleasure receiving you for a lunch and a good beer 🍺 or wine 🍷 . We are in Boisbriand it’s about a half hour drive north of Montréal...they call this region " lower Laurentien" and we are about 1 1\2 h south from the famous Mount Tremblant . This summer we had a very nice visit from our KZbinr friends Karen and Laurie from " Easy Hikes & Great Landscapes -Walk Hike & Discover the World " they live in Australia they were doing a great trip of 6 weeks which you can see on their great channel and I do recommend taking a look . Have a nice Sunday 🌞 kzbin.info/door/uTFhS1jRhGd2ATggy5t09A

[@AmericasParks]

@@SergeCousineau Thank you so much for your kind and generous hospitality. It would be a pleasure to be with you and we'll keep your warm invitation in mind.

[@jymnmeier3527]

Great video as always Randy :) I was wondering if you plan your 4th of July celebrations with the National parks in mind? Seems like you obviously do :) If that is the case, what factors in to where you go? Is it just a place you haven't been or is it centered around festivities, both? Just curious. Much love to you and the family

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Jymn, great question! Actually, I try to avoid traveling on the 4th due to the excessive crowds. lol! In this case the week we went to Maine was the only week that would work for both of us. So we did Acadia earlier (thinking it would be more crowded) and then this remote Park on the 4th. Besides the short trip to the "Island" the rest of this day seen in the video was put together as we went on the suggestions from the locals. All the best!

[@TravelwithYvonne]

Such a amazing and wonderful Maine Video & 4th July Celebration 💖I was in Germany that day .... hopeful next year I will be here :)

[@AmericasParks]

Germany must have been a wonderful experience! Thank for watching!

[@DestinationEarth]

Leeches? If I were you I would have been looking out for vampires in that grass! Blood suckers they are as well.

[@AmericasParks]

haha! In our next upload we'll be in the Great White North!
