This is our first Grand Adventure ever in New Brunswick, once part of what was known as Acadia and known today as Canada's Maritime Provinces. This region of New Brunswick is home to a fascinating history to explain the unique local culture found here tied to the Louisiana Cajuns, and we'll explore both that culture and the area's natural beauty from our base at a campsite on Miscou Island. Come along!

This is my home. I am from Baie-de-Petit-Pokemouche, just at the entrance of Shippagan. I moved to Trois-Rivières, Quebec for four years to settle with my girlfriend who is from Shawinigan. We bought our house here in September and moved in may so now I am back in my home and I am glad that my girlfriend is happy to call this place home. Thank you for a very well detailed explanation of our people's history and a beautiful video! You are welcome back in our neck of the woods anytime you like! Cheers et salut! 👋🏻

We'll be there some day for sure, Doug, and thank you for your kind words! After this season we'll have every state in the Lower 48 checked off. We're eyeing a potential run to Alaska next year, which will check off Alberta, BC and the Yukon, too. After that, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario would be logical next steps.

I'm an Acadian resident on the Baie. It was explorer Jacques Cartier who gave the BAIE des CHALEURS ,which translates to English as bay of heat, its name. He went so far as to suggest that it was warmer than parts of Spain.

Thanks for the very informative episodes with exceptional video quality! I’d like to suggest a trip to Newfoundland for you as there are many unique places to visit with lots of history, scenery and very friendly people as well while you’re on the East Coast of Canada!

@GrandAdventure Ай бұрын

Thank you very much, Patrick! We had given serious consideration to Newfoundland, but the cost in terms of time, logistics and money (the ferry) was too substantial for us to invest in it this season. Had I known that I could've taken our RV to France for bragging rights (St. Pierre & Miquelon) I might have given it more consideration, but so be it. It'll have to wait for a subsequent season.

It should be said that you missed the other restaurant on Miscou island, it's situated in the old schoolhouse building and offers a more diverse assortment of foods, unlike the seafood-specialists at Steve's Terrace on the wharf.

@GrandAdventure 15 күн бұрын

Thanks for that info! It's very, very well hidden, for it didn't appear in either the visitor center guide to the island or even Google Maps. Plus, I must've driven past it at least a dozen times and never saw a sign.

It's virtually impossible to not do so, Gord. This island is at the very tip of the peninsula and is only a few miles wide and about a dozen miles long. You have to travel along the coast.

@gorrdd Ай бұрын

Thanks Marc... another great episode adventure along the Canadian coast. It sure has its own remote beauty. In the evenings, when it became much cooler outside. We're the squitoes as bad? On the really boggy islands, did they have to originally bring in land fill by hand to build up the surface from the bog? Or were there already areas of higher ground to camp on? It was too hard to tell from your video. Virtually everything looked like a bog. Bogs can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. How curious that both early French Acadians and French Creole in Louisiana sought out this kind of wet, impassable, mosquito infested territory to settle in.🧐 Gord

@GrandAdventure Ай бұрын

Funny that you draw the comparison between the bogs of New Brunswick and the swamps of southern LA. I hadn't thought of that, but that's very true. The islands are a mix of forest and bog. If I had to guess, around 50/50 on Miscou, and somewhat less on Lemeque. So they had land upon which they could live and land that they could clear to farm.

@gorrdd Ай бұрын

@@GrandAdventure Thanks Marc. That makes sense... but 50% is a huge amount isn't it. Ireland also has its share of bogs in certain parts. I wonder if these people always lived in those places. Bogs can be farmed for their peat... then dried and burned as a fairly high btu fuel. But the skitoes... Maybe they didn't wash very often and simply had that permanent aroma that kept the things away. 🤔 Gord

Sad that you forgot about two thirds of the Peninsula. Regions like: Tracadie, Paquetville, Grand-Anse and Néguac. The Acadian Peninsula limits are about between Miscou, Grand-Anse, Néguac, Allardville and everything in between. This video only shows the North Eastern part of it. That being said, it's still a very nice video. Sorry for my English not being so good, French is my native language.
