Hey Jen! It was certainly fun day up in NH. I gotta do a whole D Tour on just Fun Spot sometime. There is a ton of stuff there that I didn’t even scratch the surface of showing. The diner was amazing. Although I would have rather had me some Harts Turkey. And of course the Ice Castles were breathtaking as always. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Awweeeee its been years since ive been to Weirs Beach! We stayed not far from there at a nice inn. We took the boat ride too. Its a nice area. D is bringing the sights!! Wonderful video, thank you so much D =)
Yeah the Laconia area is beautiful. My family vacationed from the early 80s thru the late 90s in Wolfboro on Lake Winnipesaukee. We know that lake really well and all the towns and villages all around it. I always enjoy heading up there. I haven’t visited during the Summer in several years. I need to head back in the Summer months. Glad you enjoyed the video. It was a fun one to film. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Dane. I’m glad you enjoyed it. That Lakes Region area was a special place for me grooming up in the 80s and 90s. A lot of fond memories. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching..
No problem Jim. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Check the website before you head there. Some days they are closed. I think Sunday and Monday. But that may change since school vacation week is coming up. Enjoy!
Derek!!! Sweet video! As you know..down here won’t be gettin any ice anytime soon. Thanks for going out there and recording 🤙🏻. Looking forward to more!
More ice coming your way in video form this Friday or Saturday. I’m the middle of editing yet another new video. Stay tuned and thanks for watching and enjoying my content!
Thanks Bingus. This is always a fun one to film. I just hate the drive home. That mountain highway is not well lit. I have a few more videos to post this week. Stay tuned.
Yeah Kurt. It’s pretty amazing. A little crowded for my liking. I had to toss music in the video or else you would have heard everyone’s annoying conversations. Lol. The tubing hill and sleigh ride are an extra up charge so I didn’t participate. But the beers were cold for $11.. Thanks for watching.
great d tour derek! the ice castles & the walk at night were especially lovely. but what had me at boo was that arcade & those classic games. while you were playing Donkey Kong i had a flashback of playing the game in the arcades of my youth. oh, & i do love me some drive-ins. if ya ever wanna make a video of a d tour at that drive-in ya got me for life! thank you for a fun tour!
Yeah I could have spent all day at Fun Spot but it would have overshadowed the Ice Castles theme of the video topic. But it’s definitely an awesome roadside attraction. I remember seeing Jim Carry’s The Mask at that Drive In theater. I’ve seen other movies as well but distinctly remember The Mask. Oh, and the Ice Castles were pretty cool too..
Steve was the ultimate underdog story. I loved that documentary. I need to go back and watch it again. My friend Jay played Billy in King last year at a convention. Obviously Jay lost. Lol. That’s cool that your Mom worked at the same school at Steve. Thanks for watching Brandon..
Thanks Alice. I’m not sure where you live but it’s like 2hrs from the Boston area. It’s definitely a stunning place to explore. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it..
Everything about this D-tour is amazing. The food, the retro games! So awesome. How cold did it get on the night walk? Those lights really make the ice pop, so good.
Hey Terry. Glad you enjoyed this D Tour! Yes it was a fun day all around. You asked about the temp. It looks like when I was at Fun Spot at 3pm it was 33 degrees. It probably dipped down to the mid 20s by the time I left the Ice Castles. So it was chilly.
Thanks Matt. It’s all done on an iPhone. All the filming and editing. And no special training on how to do it all. Self taught. Thanks for enjoying my channel.
Thanks Ferdia. It’s always one of my favorites too. I just hate the really dark ride home. That mountain highway is not very well lit.. Thanks for watching.
@@DTours It was the opposite of 2 degrees! Too warm, so slippery and muddy. Not sure if we'll do another one, nope, wife just said we will not be doing another one!
They are about 15 minutes away from each other. Both are mint spots, brother. Thanks for watching and being a Patreon supporter, Rahn. I appreciate you.
Yeah if all things go as planned I’ll be at the Boat Show on Saturday. Hopefully you can make it up to the Ice Castles. Hopefully they don’t melt with the 60 degree warm front coming this week. It’s fun but it was super crowded and the drive home is always stressful with those mountain highways being so dark. Definitely don’t head up that way in a Tuesday cause Harts is closed. Hope you had a great trip to Disney. Your pictures looked awesome.
Yeah I’m horrible at Math. Why I stayed back in 2nd grade and took 5 years to graduate College. Lol.. 365-52 = 313 days of Turkey dinners!! Thanks for watch ND. Glad I could give you a laugh.
I'm disappointed that Hart's was closed. I haven't had a turkey dinner there in years and was looking forward to seeing that plate. Best turkey dinner ever. Just don't tell my mom that.
Lol!! I promise not to tell your Mom😂 Yeah Brian, I totally agree on it being the BEST turkey dinner. I Always get the Jumbo plate (for leftovers) all white meat, double mash and extra gravy. Next time I’ll definitely be making that trip in a non Tuesday. Thanks for watching Brian.
Funspot the good old days!! Harts turkey farm has the best pot pies! And I never seen Weirs beach with snow. Are you and Aquarius? I saw your ♒water sign tattoo
@@k.jeanette2203 I don’t spend much time in Salem during the Summer. The video that I have filmed during the Summer pretty much show the same stuff I show in my Fall videos. The only other Summer activity would suggest is take some sort of boat/dinner cruise which I’ve never done other than the tiki boat cruise. I haven’t been to the beach or campground or anything.
Great question. I didn’t see any and the area is totally slushy so I’m sure it would be tough to get a wheelchair through without the wheels sinking into the slush.
Very cool video Derek! Looks like a beautiful winter wonderland. 🥶🧊❄️❄️❄️. NH is on the list for this October. Gotta make it to haunted overload this time!
Thanks for the reminder Julie. Yeah I am definitely hitting Haunted Overload this year. A lot of people in Salem kept asking me if I was going to go. It was sold out on the nights I was free and not in Salem last October. See you in Orlando soon. May be down for Mega Con in April. Definitely Spooky Empire in May..
@Derek Millen totally! That's why I didn't go because they sold out way in advance. Have to get the tickets early this time. You can go there during the day to just walk through it and see everything, and it's creepy as hell. I will definitely be at Megacon, hope to see you there. Then I can give you that damn gift I have for you finally 😆😆😆
Very interesting channel. All things I love good and fun.
Thanks Sci-Fi Cat. Welcome to the channel. I don’t think I’ve seen you in the comments before. Glad you are enjoying the content. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Derek for an awesome tour of the Ice Castles!
Thanks buddy! Looking forward to your Upcoming Plymouth video. I watched the trailer today.
My kind of D Tour! Diner, old school arcade games, & Ice Castles! I’d definitely hit up that Polar Pub. Thanks for taking us along:)

Another great vid from the Dman. It's great vibes and great to see the sights and sounds outside of your area. Keep well my friend

@@DTours For shur. Can't wait to see what ya been up to.
Great video, Derek. I never knew that there was more to do there, the walking trail and sleigh ride looked awesome (weather providing)
Yeah Kurt. It’s pretty amazing. A little crowded for my liking. I had to toss music in the video or else you would have heard everyone’s annoying conversations. Lol. The tubing hill and sleigh ride are an extra up charge so I didn’t participate. But the beers were cold for $11.. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Derek !!
Thanks for watching Steve..
Retro gaming! Looks like fun.
Amazing what they can do with the ice and lighting!
Great video!🔥
Thanks BR. Yeah I really like visiting Fun Spot. Been going since the early 1980s when most of those games were brand new! Crazy, huh?
As always awesome content thanks for your time to do this video 📸☺️ best channel ever big fan ever
Thanks John. I’m glad you are a fan of my content. Thanks for watching sir.
Date, Time and Temperature....music to my ears!
Gotta start off the video somehow. That just stuck. Lol. Thanks for always watching GC..

Steve Wiebe taught at the same school as my mother did when that doc came out and he gave her a signed DVD; still has it!
Steve was the ultimate underdog story. I loved that documentary. I need to go back and watch it again. My friend Jay played Billy in King last year at a convention. Obviously Jay lost. Lol. That’s cool that your Mom worked at the same school at Steve. Thanks for watching Brandon..
How have I never been to this place?? So pretty. Great D Tour!

you certainly know how to cut and direct a video to keep it moving and entertaining. another great D tour!

Very Cool - No Pun intended ! "LOL" Always enjoy your D-TOUR'S no matter where you go
Yeah Steve. It was fun to chill out at the Ice Castle. Glad you enjoyed the trip. Thanks for watching.
My favourite D tour of the year
Thanks Ferdia. It’s always one of my favorites too. I just hate the really dark ride home. That mountain highway is not very well lit.. Thanks for watching.
@@DTours yooo he replied huge fan thanks it means a lot man
Nice video dude! I'm 63 and we did our first ever Ice Castle last year. It was 2 degrees but very cool. Just made reservations for 2024! Be well!
How was Ice Castles this year? I never made it in 2024.
@@DTours It was the opposite of 2 degrees! Too warm, so slippery and muddy. Not sure if we'll do another one, nope, wife just said we will not be doing another one!
@@rmccabe117 Haha. Well that’s unfortunate! I’m sorry that sounds like an awful experience.
I want to go to that arcade and diner.
They are about 15 minutes away from each other. Both are mint spots, brother. Thanks for watching and being a Patreon supporter, Rahn. I appreciate you.
Still haven’t made it to the Ice Castles. Need to take a trip up to FunSpot and Hart’s. Are you going to the Boat Show this weekend?
Yeah if all things go as planned I’ll be at the Boat Show on Saturday. Hopefully you can make it up to the Ice Castles. Hopefully they don’t melt with the 60 degree warm front coming this week. It’s fun but it was super crowded and the drive home is always stressful with those mountain highways being so dark. Definitely don’t head up that way in a Tuesday cause Harts is closed. Hope you had a great trip to Disney. Your pictures looked awesome.
Where do they store all those castles during the summer?
Lol😂
I love your math skills😁😂you're too funny
Yeah I’m horrible at Math. Why I stayed back in 2nd grade and took 5 years to graduate College. Lol.. 365-52 = 313 days of Turkey dinners!! Thanks for watch ND. Glad I could give you a laugh.
Great stuff Derek. ❤️ from 🇬🇧
Hey Steve from England. Thanks for watching, Mate. Glad you enjoyed my trip to the Ice Castles. It’s always a fun adventure.
I'm disappointed that Hart's was closed. I haven't had a turkey dinner there in years and was looking forward to seeing that plate. Best turkey dinner ever. Just don't tell my mom that.

Chill Out Charlotte.. 😂 As always thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Funspot the good old days!! Harts turkey farm has the best pot pies! And I never seen Weirs beach with snow. Are you and Aquarius? I saw your ♒water sign tattoo
I am indeed an Aquarius.. Good eye! Yeah Harts Turkey Farm is THE BEST! Glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Thanks for watching Jeanette

I know I'm going to Salem willows and Essex street like the good old days! My birthday is Jan 26 and my oldest is Jan 28! What's your date?
Any wheelchairs going through?
Great question. I didn’t see any and the area is totally slushy so I’m sure it would be tough to get a wheelchair through without the wheels sinking into the slush.
