Why you should visit PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, Ontario,

Today on Adventures and Things we journey back to my hometown of Picton, Ontario, Canada. We go on what the locals call a horn trip. We check out the Sandbanks Provincial park, Point peter, The sand dunes, and all sorts of other neat places in Prince Edward county, Ontario.

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@pleasethink4789]

Great video and you are HILARIOUS. More people should see this.

[@AdventuresThings]

Aww shucks thank you. I couldnt agree more.

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Great video, good humour. Wishing you a wonderful day

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you, have a great week.

[@stephaniemacmillan1768]

My partner and visiting this weekend! I wanted to do a little research on the area. Your video was the first one i chose and it was perfect because we are both sober as well! Love this video! Thanks so much!

[@AdventuresThings]

That is awesome to hear. If you have questions I can try and help as much as possible. I hope you guys enjoy your trip and glad you enjoyed my video.

[@ClearKnowingFeelingHearing]

Haha I loved your humour in this video 🤣 and it was really cool to see Ontario since I’ve lived in BC forever basically myself, and only visited Toronto a couple of times when I was younger. Also you should always take credit for your work, it’s important~

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you very much. That was the first time I was back in like five years. You’re right I should take credit I deserve it lol

[@Aromators]

Very beautiful. Thank you for your information. Keep posting. We are watching. Subscribed your KZbin Channel :::::))))))

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you very much. I shall keep posting.

[@sashineb.2114]

Very interesting. I was born in the old Picton hospital (Hill Street), now demolished. I remember when cows filled the fields, not vines, and when cheese factories were everywhere. I also remember hearing of how proud people were of their "boys" who were in service during WW II, with both Picton Heights and the Mountain View airports playing such an important part in the war efforts. Thanks for putting so much detail into this video. (And for heaven's sake: watch out for poison ivy when you're on those dunes!)

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you, way back when. I think my Grandpa had some cows roaming his field back in those days. They are out in Waupoos, which is also wineries mostly and cideries. Yes I need to watch out for that poison ivy, I forgot all about it until my friend reminded me. You still around the county or moved on?

[@sashineb.2114]

@@AdventuresThings Hi there. No, I moved from that area around 1970. I live in that big place that people don't like, (starts with "T") and my friend from Picton complains about the tourists from there who clog up the roads and take up parking spots, and who make it difficult to get anywhere near the Sandbanks. I don't go back much as I no longer have family in the area, but I'm always amazed when I hear about the fancy restaurants with high prices when it used be that the Riviera (down past the Regent theatre) was one of the main spots to eat. The County is such a pretty area and for so long, it was sort of like a hidden secret, but not now. I don't think I could live there again due to the lack of doctors. There isn't even a walk-in clinic, and a friend has to go to Picton ER when he needs medical help. Would you consider moving back?

[@AdventuresThings]

@@sashineb.2114 hey sorry for such a late response I didnt see this. I have thought about moving back but I dont think I could. I do miss it sometimes but I think its because I look back at it and romanticize the place instead of looking at it practically like lack of doctors and no walk in clinic. Which really are big factors.

[@sashineb.2114]

@@AdventuresThings Hi there. You're right that the lack of doctors and no walk-in clinic are big factors. Who wants to drive to Belleville or Kingston to see a doctor (if they can get one)? I couldn't move back, either, and that includes Belleville. Having access to a doctor means everything, especially as we get older.

[@AdventuresThings]

@@sashineb.2114 ya thats a bit of a drive to see a doctor and Belleville doesnt seem like a nice place to live these days.

[@oliviagentile2826]

Love the humour, love PEC. Please tell me the song you end with in the video.

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you very much, I will check to see what its called. I cant remember off the top of my head.

[@karenpoe3549]

Beautiful place, can’t wait to go visit.

[@AdventuresThings]

It is very beautiful, hope you enjoy.

[@moadam3440]

Wow, great video! I was blown away by the quality and production value. CBC should hire you for real buddy! I'd watch a cross Canada series of lesser known places.

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you very much. I couldnt agree more CBC should hire me. It is my dream to do a travel show where I explore little known places. Thank you very much for the support and kind words.

[@lynda5293]

Thank you Mikey for the horn trip around our ole stomping grounds. It was awesome Be safe 🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️

[@AdventuresThings]

You are welcome, thank you for watching. Love you Aunt Lynda. You also take care.

[@lynda5293]

@@AdventuresThings love you also Mikey I’m proud of you 🤗❤️

[@chestymorganftw]

Best video yet! You should've taken a trip up to the school. Talk about change. The locals hate what has happened to our beaches, especially the Point!

[@AdventuresThings]

I did go up to the school but I didn’t record it. Ya I noticed the locals are not impressed. But there is always trusty imperial sub

[@greenerdays]

Got that right.

[@annatoth790]

Just tuned in because someone told me about this beautiful place, and Im totally loving your video, it cracked me up, and I can relate a lot, I like filming and I too recently said no to the wine!

[@AdventuresThings]

Aww thank you very very much. Glad to hear you are going sans wine. Hope you get to check out the County on sailboat or otherwise. Thanks for tuning in and commenting.

[@Mike.O.Johnson]

Great stuff. Well put together and edited. As a local myself, I have often wondered about doing videos here in The County.,

[@AdventuresThings]

Awesome thank you very much. You should do videos around the county. Like of cool places and people.

[@wandawright456]

i love you. and proud. good job on the county

[@AdventuresThings]

Thanks ma love you too

[@KrishnenduKes]

Gorgeous drone shots! Great colours. And your mic captures clean audio from quite far (lighthouse shot). Interesting going through your childhood memories of places that you used to visit and have ice creams!

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you my good sir. I finally got the mic figured out to run better on that camera. It was fun to re visit some old places and eat ice cream lol

[@KrishnenduKes]

@@AdventuresThings Some gorgeous footage there.

[@AdventuresThings]

@@KrishnenduKes thank you, Ive never been called gorgeous but you know your stuff so I will take it lol

[@KrishnenduKes]

@@AdventuresThings Lol!

[@roukine71]

I really really like your video. Im in the county since im 13...Yes Im older now..lolll...😅 You are a wise ass..love it. Nice recap of the county ❤

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you very very much. Haha, I often get called a wise ass. Hope you enjoy the county life. I do miss it there sometimes also good work on getting older, not everyone does that.

[@greenerdays]

Great vid!

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you, when I am back I might do a navigating the town hill tutorial lol.

[@greenerdays]

@@AdventuresThings OMFG please do!!!!😂

[@AdventuresThings]

@@greenerdays consider it done.

[@WyeExplorer]

Excellent tour Mike of your own back yard so to speak. So that's the place that made you a drunk. Ha ha! You'll never run out of beaches - not such a bad thing not to run out of. Them dunes mind you were something else. No calling them mountains. I really enjoyed seeing your playground of your youth mate. Good going. Mark

[@AdventuresThings]

Haha, yes sir thats where all the drinking began. Ya I love all the beaches there and the dunes were my favourite place to hang out. Thank you Mark take care.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@AdventuresThings I thought it was Mike. Some parts a bit of a haze. I can see why the dunes were a hit back then. A pleasure as always.

[@fazerErefazerFF]

Good video friend 🌿💦💚, leaving the 👍 for you 💚 🤝😉💞👌

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you very much, I do appreciate it

[@peterrollinson-lorimer]

Really enjoyed this an an old county boy formerly. Blanding's Turtle at 13:04, good find. You are right about mountains, I lived in Mountain View. It wasn't a mountain either, more a modest escarpment.

[@AdventuresThings]

Haha, modest escarpment, brilliant. Oh thats a Blanding’s turtle cool thank you for letting me know. Where do you call home these days? Also thank you and glad you enjoyed it.

[@peterrollinson-lorimer]

@@AdventuresThings Now up the road in T.O., thanks again for the video, hope to see more.

[@annehagerman8348]

Scott's Mills waterfall in Milford 😊

[@AdventuresThings]

Ahh yes Scott’s Mills, I forgot about his mills.

[@Mike.O.Johnson]

Always come back to this video or it pops up in my feeds again. Tourism sure has changed much here. I started doing 360° videos of The County as my content. My little videos don’t make any kind of impact on gaining tourism further. That’s coming whether I do a video or not. My goals are to get in and around everywhere for those in nursing homes and the elderly living at home still that can’t get out anymore. Many of the locals are enjoying the content. There are still some that have negative comments based on “Don’t add to the tourism”. At my age, I don’t care anymore. It’s changing and it’s not stopping. Now that Base31 is here and going to build a 7500 home small city of its own, I’m capturing the county now before it’s all changed.

[@AdventuresThings]

Ya tourism was changing the landscape even when I lived there. That was 80’s, 90’s. When I left in 2001 you could see the changes happening. There’s not a lot you can do about it now. It something that happens. Enjoy it while you can. The funny thing is I never intended this video to be any sort of tourism video, it was meant to be my reflection on growing up there and coming back years later. It is a beautiful place that I feel very fortunate to have experienced before it changed too much. Its good to hear you are capturing it now. Its cool that other people can experience the county through your vids as well. Take care and enjoy the next few weeks of the county before it gets too crazy

[@Mike.O.Johnson]

@@AdventuresThings I’m getting the same with my videos. I just don’t care anymore. They don’t have to watch them. 😂. Take care. Looking forward to more of your vids.

[@vikingblood0408]

He's right about the council! Not to mention the OPP! Still a wonderful place to live and explore!

[@AdventuresThings]

It is a beautiful and unique place.

[@Cluby2]

Great video. What’s the closing song name/artist?

[@AdventuresThings]

Keep on keeping on- Aldenmark Niklasson

[@AdventuresThings]

Also thank you very much.

[@jodeneblain4320]

Great video, love love the bird houses! It is so beautiful there, besides the weird naming of things, why on earth did you move away, makes no sense. PS: did Brad focus on the tree behind you or was that you? hahaha

[@AdventuresThings]

Yes the birdhouses are the best. It was an artistic decision on both of out parts. Ya Ontario needs some better names

[@folgargrimm6811]

I think I went to peci with you!

[@AdventuresThings]

You might have, I did go there.

[@keener57]

Fun video! BTW: in your description … Point Petre vs. Peter.

[@AdventuresThings]

Thank you, ya I put PT. Petre as that is how it is spelled on the google but growing up there we all called it Peter.

[@annatoth790]

I have got to visit there before the summer is over! Anybody got a sailboat to take this single middle aged woman sailing, or just walking those sandy beaches? Im in Montreal.

[@AdventuresThings]

That would be a lovely boat ride from Montreal. It is a beautiful place to check out.

[@BigBoiBalu]

😂❤

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

Guess what? The lady that put up a series of geocaches around Canadice lake took them all down. 🧐🧐🧐 But then she set up a whole new series called the Dragonfly. So when we went there on the 4th of July I found eight new smiley faces. We are planning on kayaking on Thursday with my cousin who is visiting from Georgia. Last year we took him out for his first time and he loved it. I'm looking forward to your next video. See you then.

[@AdventuresThings]

Does that mean you lose all the ones she takes down? Where in Georgia is he from, I loved my time I spent there, went to a cool town called Helen. That will be fun to get him out caching again

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

The ones she took down still count! So I didn't lose half of my caches found. Tommy grew up in Savannah Georgia. He lives in Pooler ga now. He loved both the kayaking and geocaching.

[@AdventuresThings]

@@kathywrightjohnson6804 oh thats good you didn’t lose them. I would love to go to Savannah

[@kaylat.3829]

Where are you at 8:10 in the video? So beautiful!

[@AdventuresThings]

I am right across from a place called little bluffs, its on county road 13. I just pulled over to the side of the road. The place in behind me is (little bluffs) is pretty cool but they charge you to get into it.

[@val241]

Hey, great video. Question for you, I've read there are a lot of ticks out that way, have you had any issues yourself?

[@AdventuresThings]

I didn’t have any issues when I was there. I can ask some friends and family that are around there if ticks are bad.

[@Val-qk1iw]

That would be helpful, thanks!

[@AdventuresThings]

@@Val-qk1iw I’ve asked some folks and it seems not too many people have gotten ticks. Best to wear light colours and avoid tall grass if possible. Also might be too hot for them

[@wandawright456]

love this. TOMATOES

[@harshshah3546]

dude likes brown and warm 🤣

[@frankroden8233]

I'm guilty as charged ....Had many of horn trips !!!

[@AdventuresThings]

Haha, horn trips were the best.

[@jad4371]

Nix the music.

[@cachetheline]

Why can't more touristy videos be like this 😂

[@AdventuresThings]

Haha, thank you. I do wish more touristy videos had more me in them lol.

[@greenerdays]

It's not a horntrip if you're not drinkin'. Period.🤣 You're on a County "cruise".

[@AdventuresThings]

Haha, ya that is in the county rule guide.

[@fullsendmtb]

Nice Video! I am new to youtube and wondering if you have any feedback for me? Thanks a lot!!!!

[@AdventuresThings]

Enjoy the process and keep working at it.
