Thanks buddy. Love the milk box and pool noodle idea for the doggo!

[@Maritimer]

haha thanks a lot man ! Wendell loves ATV'ing too.

[@ArcticExploring]

That castle is just awesome

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thanks a lot, it's a really cool spot !

TV gold as always.

[@Maritimer]

hahaha thanks a lot Corey ! I Appreciate it man !

[@expeditionidentity892]

Its so annoying to find cabins, houses, outhouses, cars, and signs just beat to heck out in the woods. Glad (but not really) to see its not just the US. Figured we were the only ones with enough jackwads out there to do that kind of stuff. Same with trash dumps. Have had people literally do that along my fence line on the dirt road at my house. Looking forward to the next video!

[@Maritimer]

hey ! Yeah man it doesn't make any sense to me why people would smash things up, there may be a night they need that shelter...... and yeah up here in Canada we have our fair share of idiots lol just you guys have like X10 the population so naturally you will have more idiots haha But the main thing is, most of us are good people, just cant let the few give us all a bad name. thanks a lot !

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

That looked a good rife and the poor pooch is beat, but he enjoyed it. Beautiful area you are in, I'm in Ontario.

Hey ! thanks man ! Yeah Wendell was a bit tired haha Cheers man !

[@rogerdouglas4429]

Really enjoyed the video. Loved the castle. Beautiful country..thanks

[@Maritimer]

Hey Roger ! thanks a lot man ! yes the castle is a really cool spot, I cant imagine how much work that would have been to do, and it's sad to see it in such tough condition. I hope someone buys it and can fix it up.

Patterson dam is just downstream from the bridge just around the corner of the river.Nothing left there but a nasty little gorge.That bridge is at 5 corners.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Stephen ! thanks a lot for the info, I might swing down and check that old dam out someday.

[@marianopuente3454]

I ended up buying a 2022 SE EPS, I wanted to be like my hero Maritimer. Down here in Texas I will have lots of mud and rain to deal with. It does get dry in the summertime. But I am exited to start my adventures.

Lol Do you know if it’s true that the trail systems can take you all the way down to New Mexico? Love watching the blogs an all the work you put in to make them. You’ll have to do a recipe bit so here in the Uk we can try some wings an chops, yum. Ok that’s me for now be safe be lucky be well an happy trails for your good self an windo. Do love to see a well trained owner ha ha

[@Maritimer]

Hey Paul ! thanks so much man ! yes we are really lucky. Ahhhhhhh I dont think the ATV trail system could take you to new Mexico, but there are a few trails that go from Canada down to Mexico but they are hiking trails. (Pacific Crest Trail) Thanks a lot man !!

Yup, it's up off the 310 now, I got er marked on Ride Command. I didn't realize that was the same shack. and yes the castle is on Johnston lake, it's a cool spot.

[@stephanelachance6195]

Hey thanks for the ride !! Every time I see these old buildings I try to imagine the conditions the workers had to go through. Theses buildings are still standing straight, tall and proud. I wish I could go back in time and witness the day when the house was finally done and what it was like to live in it. Thanks for sharing with us this awesome piece of history.

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thanks so much ! Although this place looks old, it's not really that old, only like 35 years or so. Just one old guy made it all by hand, I couldn't imagine how much work that would be.

That was a wicked tough trail! Gotta hand it to you for going through all that deep stuff. Not sure I would have chanced it, But I would have missed out on life. Thanks for showing me being brave is worth it. That's what I got the winch for too so...

[@Maritimer]

Hey Bill ! thanks a lot man, yeah it was a rugged trail, and sometimes people underestimate what these ATV's can go through, and remember I'm on Snowmobile/ATV trails so I know I shouldn't be running into a super deep hole made by trucks and Jeeps. Yeah man get out an explore, the best spots are hard to get too.

[@atvcostarica4847]

I am with you man, I hate it when people dump their trash. How is that ever a good idea! Great video. Lillie loved Wendel's lil' dance there. Good to see you both back on the quad. Beautiful trail and the mix of easy-technical-mud-rock-water-bush-roots-open areas, lakes-rivers is so fun...and a castle too. Very cool. Great area for camping, would like to see a few videos. Everyone loves Wendel. Thanks for the video.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Buddy !! Yeah there is nothing worse than litter bugs, I wish they would get caught and fined bigtime. haha yeah Wendell did a little jig after taking his pee, it was weird, he never does that lol Thanks so much man, Cheers !

[@ElevationATV]

Beautiful trails... love those tight and technical trails too. That castle looks sweet... would be cool to stumble across that. Really a shame on that trash... that's the stuff that really grinds my gears.

Hey Rob ! thanks man ! yeah I dont know why people smash stuff..... they will be the same ones complaining when they have no where to go, or trails get shut down. Yeah I always try to take some garbage out with me, I dont always show it in the video but I almost always come back with a cubby full of cans and stuff.

great vid as always! over in my neck of the woods in this vid! its a shame this spots been getting so much attention and visitors these last couple years cuz the castle didnt use to be that ratty, maybe 5 years ago it was actually a place where a fella could stay the night if he really wanted to. but with covid and so many more people getting out on the wheelers and sleds its became quite the attraction. And yes, there used to be a dam at pattersons dam lolCheers man. Be safe.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Kyle ! yeah it's always nice to get out riding in Wentworth/folly lake area, the castle is super cool and yeah it's too bad it's going to shit, the owner should really sell the property... I'll buy it for my YT channel ! haha Thanks for watching buddy !

Looked like fun trails and always nice to have something like the castle as a destination to shoot for. I followed you along on Google maps as I watched so I think I could retrace most of your ride. I think you may have gotten a few new subscribers at the castle. Wendell sure does draw some good attention. Cheers

@@Maritimer I do use Ride Command and like it. When watching videos online and get reference points like you had, I pull up Google maps and get a good idea where exactly it is. That way if I were to go in the general area I would use the app and know better where I`m going. That`s one thing I think that sets your channel apart from a lot is your narrative, which I enjoy rather than just watching a random trail go by.

[@johnsimone9384]

Do you think you might buy a SxS so you can take your family along? Which make would you consider?

[@Maritimer]

Yep ! I don't want one, I like the ATV the best, but it looks like i'm going the SXS route in the future. I like Japanese stuff, it's just more reliable and that's all I really care about. I ride alone 99% of the time so getting out of the woods under my own power is key. My favourite right now is the Yamaha Rmax 4, the only knock of those is they are a bit loud. but I think I can deal with that. I like the Honda Pioneer 1000 but I'm not a huge fan of the transmission (I prefer a belt) and it is not quite as sporty as I'd like... more of a Utility machine. (My father loves his though) Kawasaki Teryx are nice too but they haven't upgraded those in YEARS, so it would be hard to buy one now, knowing your basically buying an Old model but new.... know what I mean? I like the Polaris General and Can Am Commander also, just I've seen so many issues with Popo and Can AM..... I just cant see myself buying them. some people do and have Zero issues.... I also hate how LONG those machines are in the 4 seater... they look like school busses going down the trail. I know it gives more room for passengers but the length kills me.

[@johnsimone9384]

Can-Am would be my first choice if money was not an issue. CF Moto if I was willing to take a big gamble.

What trail is the Castle off of? Might take a ride out there this weekend

[@Maritimer]

hey man, its on Johnston lake. if you look on Ride Command it says it's off of Trail #104 but In the woods on the trail, it's marked trail #436.

3:45 - that must be the only unpaved trail in the Maritimes - HAHAHA!!! - - - 4:45 - Seriously, in this day and age of everyone being more educated on the effects of polluting the earth, it seems crazy there are still people who are dumb enough to do that! Selfish morons are what they are! - - - 9:20 - LMAO! Glad I'm not the only one who does that. I thought it was age related, but obviously not - lol - - - WOW, that castle was cool! So is the guy still alive? If so where is he? Does someone own the property now? Why isn't it being kept up? These and other burning questions are what I'm left with after your inadequate narrating of the history on that place - HAHAHAHA - just messin' with ya of course - - - Awesome video bud! Thanx for taking us along!

[@Maritimer]

Hey Q ! Sorry for the late reply, I somehow missed it I guess.... I had like 15 comments all show up today from Months ago.... The dumping of garbage drives me nuts... if I was DNR I'd make it my goal to catch and find everyone of them the maximum allowed. The guy died I guess, his sons inherited the land/castle, but they live down in the US. so they dont come up here often... it's a shame man, it's really cool spot. Cheers man !!!

[@quaddingsous]

@@Maritimer . . . No worries. Do you ever check your comments through YTStudio? There are comments in there that are "held for approval". I found it one day and lmao at all the comments they were holding.

[@SuperDave-pe1zw]

It's so nice you have all those trails to ride here in the states you have to pay to go places that are crowded. Do you carry a pistol on your long rides thru the wilderness in case a bear or bobcat wanted to eat you and Wendell?

[@stevelewis9677]

I used to live in NB. No need for gun. The bears won’t bother ya nor will anything else. The people are great and the land and scenery is gorgeous

[@stevelewis9677]

Also jack russels are pretty damned tough and equally as feisty. I think most animals would just as soon runaway then have to deal with all that commotion

[@Maritimer]

Hey Dave ! yeah were pretty lucky, and I havent hit 10% of the possible trails I could. thats the beauty of having a lower population haha You'll need to come visit and r9ide some of our trails. No were not allowed to carry a pistol anywhere except the gun range.... I hate that law, I'd love to have a 9mm or .45 for protection. And like Steve said below, the bears dont really mess with ya, they always run away, I'm more scared of a Coyote getting wendell, OR his little dog syndrome getting him into a fight he wouldn't win, like with a big racoon or fisher or Bob Cat or something.... haha

[@Maritimer]

haha they are for sure, Wendell thinks hes like 150lb.... im scared it will get him in trouble someday lol

[@zombii7905]

What are you driving in this video? Is it a Kodiak?

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! No, she's a 2017 Grizzly 700.

[@zombii7905]

@@Maritimer Oh, I have a kodiak 450 and i don't know what year

[@Maritimer]

@@zombii7905 ohhh ok. those 450's are a solid machine!

[@givergummer]

just below the bridge at Patterson dam are the old remains of a massive dam the old timers built years ago. From Patterson Dam, you're super close to the Old Iron mine on East Folly Mtn from the 1800's. It's an incredible spot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZYpmhnM55jZo

[@Maritimer]

Holy crap man, them two guys are much more brave than I am hahah I'd never go on those tunnels..... I always have a "Risk vs Reward" I do in my head.... Risk - I get trapped and die. Reward - I see cool old stuff...... death always out weighs everything haha I'm gonna go down river next time to try and find the old dam. thank you !

[@mr2redsled]

wow what a shame to let that building go to waste like that on a nice lake

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! yeah it's a shame for sure, cool ol' spot.

[@mr2redsled]

@@Maritimer gonna try to get out there sometime thx for sharing
