Ep. 379: Delaware Shore | RV travel camping beach

[@gypsymountaineers3215]

Next time we see you we will fill you in on the trip to the Asheville area with relief supplies. I didn’t share anything on FB because I just wanted to respect the locals. I’m still emotional. You found beautiful campgrounds this episode. Thanks Marc.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks, Sue. And thank YOU for what you did, that's both amazing and wonderful.

[@e-square9976]

Absolute splendor! Longing for RV road travel and exploration this video makes those who are facing challenges in life feel comfort. Life is an adventure; your videos and the sharing of the your experience do indeed make them grand. Thank you and travel safe.❤

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you as always! We truly love putting these episodes together, and comments like this make the entire process worthwhile.

[@GardcoreLegend]

Amazing part of Delaware, love the beach towns.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@GardcoreLegend I certainly is, Dan. Thank you very much for watching!

[@SevenBears1]

I always want to slow down when I'm surrounded by history. I try to learn as much as possible in the time I have.. Thanks GA

[@GrandAdventure]

Precisely, J.

[@gina50gina]

What a gorgeous area, blue ocean and beautiful sands. I was impressed with the kick butt guns at the fort! Thank goodness for the museums that preserve the history for us to see. Really looking forward to next week with the wild horses! Suzane

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks Suzane! I think you'll get a kick out of the Assateague episode.

[@RabbiJesus]

Woohoo. Let’s go

[@GrandAdventure]

@@RabbiJesus Happy as always to have you at the premiere, Rabbi.

[@bertkelly7650]

Thanks Mark! My 1st trip was at Rehoboth camped at Seashore SP in my buddy's truck camper the day after graduation. Camped at Henlopen many times. Many good memories in that area.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@bertkelly7650 very cool, Bert! It is certainly a fun area to visit, and we enjoyed ourselves.

[@geraldsouthard7092]

Great video Marc. Loved it. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you as always, Gerald!

[@laughingram7287]

Nice! Looks a lot more quieter than New Jersey. Funny about the one transient spot in the “campground”. Ram 👍🏼👍🏾

[@GrandAdventure]

The thing that blew my mind was the pedestal location. I spent a good 15 minutes looking for it, not even thinking to look all the way on the next street over.

[@bobcruikshank2010]

Another great video Mark! My grandparents started coming to Fenwick Island in the 50s from the Pittsburgh area to vacation. I grew up having family vacations at Cape May and the Delaware beaches. I have surf fished countless miles on that beach. I had the annual permit for my pick up truck to ride on the beach to fish. That was cool! I am now on my way from Nevada back to Delaware to attend a greyhound dog convention at the Rehoboth beach convention center. I am currently in Ohio. Six days worth of driving. I look forward to seeing what has changed. Thanks again!

[@GrandAdventure]

Happy that we could give you a preview, Bob, and safe travels on that long, long journey!

[@cristianramos5546]

Another great video Marc.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@cristianramos5546 Thank you Cristian!

[@grillinandchillinwithdeb]

Enjoyed very much, safe travels ❤

[@GrandAdventure]

@@grillinandchillinwithdeb thanks so very much! Same to you both

[@BillSprague]

Thank you for a stroll down memory land. We’ve often camped there and my younger son still treks there with his family annually. His favorite pastime there is ship spotting. I live in Maryland so I’m a crab cake snob. 😂🤣 Be careful of the ponies. They can be unpredictable. Safe journeys!

[@GrandAdventure]

@@BillSprague Happy to bring you back, Bill! It's very easy to be a crab cake snob living in Maryland. My folks live there for 19 years, five of which were my first years on the planet, and my mother remained a crab cake snob up until the day she died.

[@jesib7526]

I enjoy riding the ferries. The seafood you're enjoying makes my mouth water! What a great week you've had! Such a beautiful area to visit!

[@GrandAdventure]

@@jesib7526 It is indeed, Jesi. Thank you very much for watching! Funny thing, now that we're away from the coast I am far less enthused about going out to eat. 😁

[@daviscrt]

Man, those crabs looked and smelled awesome. Don

[@GrandAdventure]

They could have been bigger, Don (I shouldn't have opted for "all you can eat" and instead ordered a specific size and quantity), and they could've used more Old Bay. Otherwise, they were wonderful and a "must have" while we were there.

[@gorrdd]

Another beautiful area, Marc. I really like these seashore adventures... on account of my love of water.😊 Plus, the weather you had during your stay was beautiful and gorgeous to view. I guess it's just one more seashore and seaside episode for this season. 😢 Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

@@gorrdd You are correct, just one more to go. But it's been a long, long run of them all the way back to early June!

[@gorrdd]

@@GrandAdventure Indeed it has. You were excited about this season for just that reason. 😉 Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

@@gorrdd sure, that was a factor. But my biggest anticipation was visiting areas where I've never been, but have long been curious about, like Atlantic Canada. I've been researching that area and contemplating traveling there for over 3 decades. This year, we finally made it happen.

[@dougbevell7153]

Great Video Marc...😊

[@GrandAdventure]

@@dougbevell7153 thank you Doug! Are you now back in Wilmington?

[@dougbevell7153]

I am home in Wilmington safe. I do hope your move from Winston - Salem was uneventful as well. It's just so hard to believe what this storm did to the Western part of the state....🙏

[@GrandAdventure]

@@dougbevell7153 it's absolutely shocking. So, too, seems to be the response to the situation. Happy to hear that you're back. Aside from the lengthy detour, our travel to the Smoky Mountains was uneventful.

[@vapoet]

Extra boost for Delaware Seashore State Park has full hookups, making it one of the most affordable beach accessible FHU parks on the Atlantic seaboard.

[@GrandAdventure]

We looked into it, and we don't disagree. I honestly don't remember why we passed on it. It may have been availability, it may have been an out-of-state surcharge, I simply don't recall as we made that reservation way back in spring.

[@joemiles6917]

Marc i think you have to change your settings or something because I can not get back into chat after hitting the thumbs up. Your channel is the only one that does that.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@joemiles6917 You're not the first one to tell me that, Joe, but it's got to be some sort of KZbin bug. It's not like there's a setting that says "eject the viewer once they hit thumbs up." 😄 I'm both clueless about the cause, and powerless to fix it.

[@cristianramos5546]

The same thing happened to me. But if you close and then reopen the livestream, it should let you back in.

[@geminispamperedgreyhounds1599]

It's not just this channel, I've been noticing this happening with a lot of channels I watch. Once you hit the 👍 you can't go back into the chat or if you try to do something with chat it freezes and you have to exit the channel and reenter in order to access a working chat. So it's something going on with UTube.

[@tomk-u8k]

We stay at DSSP a few times a year and Love it.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@tomk-u8k We got a good look at those campgrounds every time we crossed the Indian River Inlet Bridge.

[@gorrdd]

Looks like the RV is in the water again. I pray you have an escape route open, in order to vacate North Carolina, Marc. 😮 Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

@@gorrdd It got interesting, that's for sure. We had to evacuate, so our upcoming Blue Ridge Mountains episode has turned into a Hurricane Helene episode.

[@pamelacaron54]

So excited I was hoping you were going to Assateague! We camp there a lot as we are not far loving that you are in my area

[@GrandAdventure]

We had a wonderful time in your area, Pamela, as you'll see from next week's Assateague episode. Such a beautiful area and amazing campsite. The weather was rather uncooperative for much of our week there, but in the end we were fortunate for an unplanned improvement in the forecast.

[@stephenmarechek2753]

Hi Marc. Hope to meet you one day. I'm a lifelong Maryland resident and I am ordering you to eat a crab cake and get the Old Bay cheese puffs! Much better than the chips. Safe travels Bro. Steve

[@GrandAdventure]

Orders accepted, sir!

[@normgibson6565]

An other good history lesson

[@GrandAdventure]

@@normgibson6565 Thank you Norm! Great to have you at the premiere. Did you notice the size of that hole in armor-plated steel from that 16-in shell?

[@normgibson6565]

@@GrandAdventure yes I did

[@ericramey6743]

Great Video! The next time that you are in the area try camping at Delaware Seashore State Park Campground. The price per night is comparable to what you paid with a better camp site experience.

[@GrandAdventure]

Yes, and thank you Eric! We had considered DSSP and saw it several times while there, but for the life of me I can't remember why back in April when we booked I had decided against it.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

I love the Delaware shore area. But I think I would prefer Walmart over that "campground". Agree that many of those types of places are empty mid week, but not a fan of anyplace that the space between me and the next RV is less than the width of my RV. (exception being Liberty Harbor RV Park---location, location, location) Great video again Marc. Continued safe travels....

[@GrandAdventure]

@@ShawnPatterson402 It certainly wasn't our favorite setup, but it did the trick. It was incredibly quiet, and the one neighbor we did have for a few days was wonderfully helpful.

[@CarolCannuli]

You forgot to video the town of Lewes.

[@GrandAdventure]

We didn't forget, Carol, we ran out of time. We visit each location for a week, with few exceptions, and I work a day job from the RV business hours Monday-Friday. That, combined with the incessant traffic getting through the Rehoboth area, meant that the town of Lewes had to drop by the wayside because there's only so much we can get to and film for each episode. Instead, we focused exclusively on Delaware's Atlantic coast. For each episode, we establish a perimeter around our camping location and focus exclusively within that perimeter.

[@CarolCannuli]

You're are so sweet. Good job, Sir.

[@annettemills2399]

What did you do with Zoey during your ferry crossing?

[@GrandAdventure]

@@annettemills2399 took her out on leash. It's allowed.

[@texsox]

Same problem. I clicked thumbs up and got kicked out

[@GrandAdventure]

@@texsox thanks for letting me know. You're not the first one to tell me that, but it's got to be some sort of KZbin bug. It's not like there's a setting that says "eject the viewer once they hit thumbs up." 😄 I'm both clueless about the cause, and powerless to fix it.

[@HarveyJames57]

Delaware doesn’t have a shore….we have beaches
