[@GrandAdventure]

@@zentoday8327 You live in a beautiful place.

[@rickybenwell1506]

I was born and raised in the small town of Port Daniel beautiful place great food try to go back home every year

[@GrandAdventure]

We can sure understand why, Ricky.

[@carmellejolin2866]

Merci beaucoup. C’est super beau la Gaspésie.

[@GrandAdventure]

C'est tres vrai, Carmelle. Merci!

[@laughingram7287]

Lobster again!….. That was one king sized lobster at that. Enjoyed the hike and the view. Ram 👍🏼👍🏾

[@GrandAdventure]

Last night's dinner's love bugs here on the South Shore of Nova Scotia were the biggest ones yet, around 2.5 lb each. I had ordered 1.75-pounders but got more than I bargained for. We found them for as little as USD $6.76/lb on PEI. I should be getting my fill of lobster right around the time that we make it to the mid-Atlantic for the steamed blue crabs and crab cakes. 😁

My husband and I follow your show, we love how you give so much good information about the area you are visiting! We were so excited when we learned you would be going to Montreal! My husband is from there, originally by way of New Brunswick 😊 We go every year to visit family and friends and for the last few years we go in our RV. It is so cool to see you visit our stomping grounds. We you headed to Quebec ♥️ our favorite, we loved that too! We love the Gaspe area! We are curious to see if you stay where we do in Perce, it is fun for us to learn new places to stay as well! Thank you!! ♥️

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you very much to both of you! That Percé episode we put together for next Wednesday may well be our best episode yet, and it's a full hour long simply because there's so much to see and do there. We're now down in your husband's home province of New Brunswick. After spending 4 nights on Miscou Island we're now spending 3 nights in Kouchibouguac National Park before leaving Sunday for PEI. We'll be returning for one more week in NB next month at the Bay of Fundy before crossing back into the U.S.

[@e-square9976]

Spectacular! Through your lens and historical research you’ve brought us this exquisite splendor. Simply fantastic craftsmanship in this episode. And, as usual, you’ve nailed this cinematography with such graceful perfection. It’s amazing to me why your channel and followers have not exploded in popularity. We thank you for all your hard work. For this is not a simple production. ❤

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you so very, very much! If there's ever an episode that I really put effort into, it's next week's hour-long opus from Percé. We look forward to bringing that one to you.

[@rsbirk]

Another nice video, Marc. My wife and I commented about how much we enjoy your information-filled adventures. Keep up the good work and safe travels!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you both! FYI tonight's Premiere is an epic one, hope that you'll join us.

[@larrycox6614]

Ahhhh...the places you visit Marc...I wish I could just be your tag-along...in my own rig of course. 🤣

[@GrandAdventure]

Come along any time, Larry!

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Another nicely done video Marc, Looks like a pretty cool place to visit. JT

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you JT!

[@georgecarpenter4126]

What amazing scenery you are seeing. Enjoy it to the fullest and stay safe !

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you George, and same to you!

[@mikelang5277]

Amazing video. Having snowmobiled the Gaspe, we are heading back this fall to do it in the RV.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you, Mike! I wanted to ski the Chic-Chocs for many years, but never made it happen. Have fun!

[@danielsmyth2646]

Love your shows! And especially your Canadian link.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Daniel!

[@bobanddangsjourney]

That is an absolutely stunning place to camp! So picturesque and I can't believe you were right down there near the water for that price... I'm sure glad you are pronouncing all those names and not me - my tongue gets tied up just hearing you say them :) The town looks so nice and we are 100% with you on the lobster. I think we would be having it for breakfast too! Thanks for bringing us along on this trip - we now have another place to add to our ever growing list. We look forward to seeing the rest of this trip... BTW looks like we pass through Salt Lake area around the end of September - not sure if you will be back by that time but if so would love to visit. Save travels!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you, you two! We will not be back to Utah until December 1st, but enjoy your visit! If I can help in any way, just let me know.

[@SL_BA]

Absolutely amazing! I feel like we are right there. I love that you are bringing the beauty right to us...and that is so much! I would have a hard time narrowing down what to show in my video. Lol What an amazing trip so far! Your French skills are way better than mine. To hear you say the word and for me to see the spelling is just fascinating to me. It is a beautiful language. See you next week!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you very much! Mrs GA would disagree with you, she's always ragging on my French skills.

[@geraldsouthard7092]

Inspirational video Marc! Thanks.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you as always, Gerald!

[@kateleblanc604]

Gaspesian here. Historical note: Cap-Chat was a military post during WW2 and served as a lookout point for German U-Boats hunting supply vessels leaving for England. There was a small airfield for plane spotters as well as coastal posts. Very important during the Battle of the Atlantic.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@kateleblanc604 very cool tidbit. Thank you for that, Kate!

[@ll-cy9dl]

I live near this spot and believe it or not i didnt knew it

[@kellymcdonald6309]

We are going to the Canadian Maritimes this summer. I had hoped we could visit this area but, we had to change plans. I will put it on our list for next time.

[@GrandAdventure]

It is well worth it. Stay tuned, for we will have Percé next week, and New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia coming up over the next few weeks.

[@stephanielluna-garces1693]

Have are at that same campground right now! There are lots of campers here now. The high today was 72°F, but the skies are hazy due to the fires in western Canada.

[@GrandAdventure]

Yes, we have the same smokey haze right now in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Please send our regards to Ian!

[@remitremblay2091]

Glad to see you are now enjoying some of the very nicest we have to offer in Quebec! Isn’t something? Mountain, see (well St-Laurence River really…) and the Rocher Percé! What a sight! So glad you came to visit! We look forward to doing the same in the US mountains that you spend your winters in! 2 skiers from Qc city!

[@GrandAdventure]

Merci, Remi! If you make it to Alta to ski, be sure to let me know and it will be my pleasure to give you the full locals tour. We have some good friends from Quebec who have spent their past 15 winters in the same RV park in Utah that we winter in, who are also Alta pass holders.

[@genetownsend8847]

That was a nice hike! How were the bugs?

[@GrandAdventure]

There really were none, Gene. We sure found the black flies hiking in next week's episode from Percé, however.

[@garymann5998]

Never knew anything about that area, really nice, great campsite, nice to see Zoey meandering around, thanks for sharing, travel safe

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Gary! We are happy to be able to introduce the area to you.

[@timnisbet2078]

Just AWESOME !!!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Tim!

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Marc, now you are in my stompin ground :) Both my wife and I grew up in the town of Gaspe. We have family in Sainte Anne des Monts as well. I love your coverage of the area. Looking forward to next week as well, as Perce was only 45 minutes from my home while growing up. Very interesting part of our continent actually. Very unique climate, geology and geography, and of course some amazing history, as the town of Gaspe is where Jacques Cartier landed in 1534. I truly hope you enjoyed your time in "our" area and continued safe travels. If you have not yet reached Bathurst yet, let me know, as we always are ready to enjoy a good meal and a good beer right here.

[@GrandAdventure]

I wish I knew you were in Bathurst! I have been in Miscou all week, but move to Kouchibouguac National Park tomorrow. Percé was spectacular, and we will have an epic episode from there for you next week.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

@@GrandAdventure Ah Miscou is beautiful as well. Although I guess you are sharing the rain with us this morning. You will enjoy Kouchibouguac without a doubt. we spent a long weekend there a couple of weekends ago, and get down there pretty much every summer for a few days. The South Kouchibouguac campground has some excellent sites with Full hookups, and also a nice selection of electric only sites. Our favorite site in the park though is over at the small Cote a Fabien campground...site 3. No services there and no shower facilities, but beautiful. Our trailer barely fits in, but it does...will be back on that site in late August for a few nights. If you are in Kouchi for a week, perhaps I will drop by next week and say hello, as it is only about 90 minutes from here.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@ShawnPatterson402 yep, got to break camp and drive in the pouring rain today. We are here in the South campground until Sunday. You are welcome, just let me know if you can make it down.

[@michelleekins1406]

This is a great video!❤❤😊

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Michelle!

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

nice again, Marc.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you as always, Joe!

[@jesib7526]

Awesome beauty! I was jealous of your lobster!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Jesi! It's hard enough to come by live lobster in Utah, not to mention that the price is double what they are up here in eastern Canada. So I've been taking advantage. 😁

[@marcomorissette7940]

Thanks for visiting Quebec! Just a little note that you should have done it the other side around so the beauty is always on the right!!🇨🇦🥰

[@GrandAdventure]

It's beautiful no matter which angle you're looking at it from! Thank you, Marco!

[@BillSprague]

The Gaspésie Peninsula is just stunningly beautiful and the campground looks like a must stop, especially with that amazing food truck! I’ve wanted to visit but my French skills are pretty non-existent. Thank you and have safe travels.

[@GrandAdventure]

You would have no issue, Bill. My French skills are atrocious, and the proprietor of the campground is fluent in English.

[@BillSprague]

That’s really encouraging. Thank you!

[@GrandAdventure]

@@BillSprague worse comes to worst, you whip out your phone and open Google Translate. I've done that a couple of times myself, and everyone we've encountered has been very patient and helpful.

[@normgibson6565]

CHEERS Marc a very nice area. We are in Mitchell SD Harry and I will go to the Corn Palace tomorrow as they are PET friendly he just likes to go and not stay back. Will be going to do some boondocking around the badlands on our way to Rapid City for a week or 2.

[@GrandAdventure]

Cheers to you too, Norm! That is a wonderful area, hope you and Harry have a wonderful time. Safe travels!

[@normgibson6565]

@@GrandAdventure we will and safe travels to you.

[@gorrdd]

Thanks Marc... what a great area. If you had said that you took a detour back to Colorado, I would have believed you based upon some of this footage. I never made it to the Gaspesie and this does not disappoint. Glad you managed to not get rained out. Did you end up bringing a couple of small electric space heaters for at night? Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Gord! In addition to the electric fireplace in our living room, we have an oil-filled radiator in the bedroom. Both get used when we are on hookups on chilly nights.

[@gorrdd]

@@GrandAdventure Roger that, Marc👍...

[@benoitfontaine899]

Great episode! I love going to Gapésie! First week of July will be my turn. I just re-subscibed to your channel 😊. I watching all your Quebec episodes back to back! So, Mme Grand Adventure is from Quebec? good for you! 😉

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Benoit! Yep, she grew up in Donnacona. We met in Montreal nearly 30 years ago now. We're happy to have you back, and safe travels to Gapésie!

[@thomashendron4356]

How were the mosquitoes at the ocean campsite and water? How big was the Golden Corral Moose? any kayaking at his location? Nice to see a summer spot which requires coat to stay warm

[@GrandAdventure]

The mosquitoes weren't unbearable at all, Thomas. That moose was an adult cow laying in the brush, and had a calf with her that you couldn't see. Lots of kayaking, but most of the salt water spots were a rather monotonous shoreline. The exceptions were the river mouths, and there were plenty of fresh water options in the mountains like Lac Cascapédia that would've been far more interesting to paddle. Most of Atlantic Canada we've visited this trip remains comfortably cool in summer. For example, on PEI (our episode in 2 weeks) the average daily high temp in July and August is 73 dF.

[@timalmich1964]

Great video. Have you ever stayed in the Springfield Missouri area? We are going there in august.

[@GrandAdventure]

Not Springfield, Tim, but we've been just south of there to Table Rock Lake near Branson kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4SogHyeoZ1gjrM . If you're ever wondering, we've got a full interactive travel episode map on our website GrandAdventure.tv.

I get tongue twisted with those names but it sure is beautiful.. thanks GA

[@GrandAdventure]

That makes two of us, J.

[@daviscrt]

What a beautiful country. Any issues with the language barrier? Thanks Don

[@GrandAdventure]

None whatsoever, Don. People have been going out of their way to try to meet me halfway, of course Mrs Grand Adventure has no language barrier at all. When I am desperate, I break out my phone and use Google Translate. Folks have been having as much fun trying to understand me as I do trying to understand them.

[@benoitlacroix6982]

@@GrandAdventure outside Montreal, Gaspesie is the place in Quebec where anglophone are the most populated, many town near Gaspé are english mostly spoken. The touristic part of Gaspesie start from Sainte-Flavie near Mont-Joli. The administration of Gaspesie region start after Matane like you said but its new... since 1987 the region is now Bas-St-Laurent but touristicly spoken after Sainte-Flavie you are in Gaspesie
