Stretching Our Limits Traveling On A WHIM In Nova Scotia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2023
- At it's core, this is what Van Life is really all about. Simply using your van, or in our case an almost van, to live life... and do all you can do, see all you can see... on a whim. In a world where everyone is in such a hurry, with so many appointments and destinations wrestling for their time and attention, wouldn't it be nice to be in a different country with none of that? No real destination in mind... no appointments or bookings... just time to explore what's in front of you. We found that sometimes when you travel on a whim what's in front of you is perhaps a great spot by the ocean, or it's a generous local taking time to invite you to a celebration of youth and their Celtic music. Or maybe it's 20-mile bike ride and your dog chasing sticks that are floating in the Bay of Fundy tide. Or it's a hike that's so strenuous it takes ropes and foot ladders to get you to the end. Or it could be making a wrong turn in the middle of nowhere and continuing on over a mountain in Nova Scotia just to see where it goes.
THAT IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TRAVEL ON A WHIM AND THIS WEEK WE SHOW YOU WHAT THAT'S LIKE FOR US AND WHETHER WE RECOMMEND IT. SPOILER ALERT... WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

I cant stop laughing😂. Your little story about the backhoe was classic. Thanks for the laughs.
That was nice a local inviting you to an event with entertainment. And then he said you Dan leave your spot and come back and no would take it. That was nice.
What a beautiful waterfall. Wow, that dirt road.
Good friend, RIP, had a place in Baddeck, which is a great place to visit. We went there in August a few years ago when they had the Celtic Colors festival. Irish music from some of the best musicians from Ireland.
Who needs a five star restaurant if you can travel a dirt road to a waterfall? I agree with Lynn, that waterfall was awesome! Wonderful to unexpectedly meet up with friends too. I love traveling on a whim.
It’s our fairway to travel. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful video, excellent views!! Whims are perfect, unexpected adventures. Great boondocking area. That was so neat you were invited to share in the cultural event, makes it seem more special. Maggie was having her on doggy adventures, sweet girl. Beautiful waterfall. Y'all be careful, looked a lil iffy. Great views at the harvest hist. 🙂👍
The cultural event was a great surprise. I’m a lot more careful hiking on rocks than I used to be. Thanks so much for watching.
'Sometimes if you travel on a whim...if you're really lucky you'll find a gem'. Advice taken to heart. Thank you friend. Instead of a happy dance Maggie did her happy dash! Loving your journey.
Very nice to see youths enjoying their culture.
It was a concert was so awesome and seeing the young people embrace their culture was a beautiful experience.
Thank y'all for taking me with you I am very sick and can't camp any more your chanel brings me so much joy I am so glad I found it .
So sorry you are sick, I hope we get better soon. It warms my heart to hear you say we bring you joy through our videos. Thank you! I’ll be praying for you.
Baddeck was mentionned. As in many communities in the Maritimes, Baddeck hosts a lobster dinner. As an alternative to a lobster and unlimited mussels, they offer planked salmon. The fillets are secured to planks, which are leaned against supports around a wood fire.
When we drove the Cabot Trail, we did it anticlockwise. Were I to do it again, I would go clockwise round Cape Breton. Looking over the edge can be nerve racking...
Really enjoy your videos!
its been a couple years since I've done the Baddeck Lobster Dinner, but it was amazing!!!! Loved the all you could eat mussels.
It was so wonderful to see the young people participating in their traditions!!!
Maggie certainly was enjoying her whim! So cute! Beautiful video again! Thank you Owen, Lynn and Maggie! Be safe! 🥰💕🙏
Great video! We need to not plan so much and do more on a whim. Owen, please don't ever change your sense of humor. Thank you for taking us along. Happy tails and safe travels.
Only certain people with a similar sense of humor would appreciate Owen’s. Love how much he laughs at his own jokes. Sometimes that’s funnier than the joke itself.
I am one of those people :)@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle
Another great one… what an adventure. Beautiful spots and even off roading… Thanks for sharing the joy.
Thank you for wathcing.
I know where your at and I feel like the next video may be epic, as long as you turned left ;)
The people. The scenery. The food. So glad you are getting to visit one of my happy places. I did notice no litter or trash unlike many other places. I found most of those I met & got to know in NS were friendly & very proud of keeping their surroundings clean. Thanks again for sharing. BTW - y’all look & act a lot younger than being in your 60s.
I didn’t think of it until you mention it, I don’t think we saw any littler either. We never had to clean up a campsite which is unusual. That is really amazing now that I’m thinking back. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
Wow! Your "on a whim" is better than most of our plans! That was awesome!!!! What a great music event!!!! Cape Britton is the place to be, so cool!!! Egypt waterfall is amazing! Y'all are so sweet! I just love tagging along on your adventures. Much love from SC to you sweet friends, Jane❤🙏
Thank you so much for your comment. We appreciate you tagging along. Much love to you!
One of my favorites episodes! The fun you had was apparent to this viewer!!! Best wishes from CA.
Thank you!!!! We appreciate your comment.
Owen I think you know what a wonderful little woman you have! You are a good team esp with Maggie! I really enjoy your adventures and the teamwork you have. Be safe and enjoy every
Minute life flies by!
Some peoples whims are much cooler than others! If you dont go you'll never know!
You picked a great spot to camp and you all liked like you had fun with the different cultures there performing. The food looked good. What beautiful sunset. This spot you camped in was a great pick on a whim. With a great sunset. And plenty of room to camp.
So true!
as always great vid guys
❤❤❤Love every minute ❤️ Happy Tails 😊
Thank you, we appreciate you watching.
The video had a great pace to it.. Nova Scotia, Cape Briton sure is a beautiful place. Thanks for taking us there.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing and safe travels
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
This was such a fun video; we're ready to go back. The local event reminded me of some of the scenes in that British detective show called "Shetland."
We are ready to go back too.
Can sweet Maggie look any more relaxed when Mama is brushing her? Beautiful sunset!
Maggie is my favorite u tube dog! What an absolute sweetheart. She must have some issue,don’t they all? I’ve never seen it . She chase cars or something? LOL
Wow every adventure is worth watching and Maggie so Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🐶
Thank you so much for your comment. Of course we think Maggie is beautiful inside and out.
Egypt Falls is beautiful. I love waterfalls. Glad you were able get out of the end road and found your friends again at the Harvest Host. You always capture beautiful sunsets. Great video. Hope you have a great week and see you next weekend. Stay safe safe travels. Love you! ❤❤❤
Thank you Sherrie, we appreciate you watching.

I love watching your videos! Love you both! ❤️
So beautiful up there! Need to add to our list! Thank you! -Kim
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Port Hood home of AL Macinnes was in the N H L for years top defenseman.
Wow, how fun was that celebration - - - - .Whims are fun.
That celebration was a wonderful surprise. I agree Whims are fun!
We had the same experience and learned ABW! We ended up hiking too far in the Lake Louise area without water, sunscreen, bug spray, snack, hiking Garmin, etc.) Guess we are never too old to learn. Love watching your time in Canada. We are loving western Canada! We have one more week or so before crossing the border to the US. I’m already missing Canada and can’t wait to return. The one thing I will remember the next trip to Canada is: bring more Scott TP. 😅 Safe travels friends!
Never evert too old to learn… I love learning for fun but not by making mistakes. Have a safe trip home.
Beautiful views!
Thank you my sweet friend for wathcing!
How fun that you met up with your friends at a completely random spot! Thanks for sharing your adventure.😊
It seems to happen a lot when you are traveling in the same area the same way. We love it when it happens.
That was so cute Maggie looking for her stick when you went for a walk by the water. That was a cute parade you saw and went by you. What was the name of the town that had the parade? That was cute they do that yearly. The scenery is beautiful there. Mabou Beach is beautiful. I love beaches. I love that joke Owen told in front of and back of. I love when he tells jokes.
I think the parade was in Mabou. The beaches there were beautiful.
My Scotish inlaws say Nova Scotia is more Celtic than home
Like the fact that Maggie is included in as many of your activities as possible. We're the same with our pup.
Bet you wish you had left the Crocks in the van by the end of that hike.
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
We do plan most of our activities around Maggie, if she can’t go for some reason we make sure she has some special time too. The crocks were not the right choice for that hike.
BS & BK & BC !!
I just have to ask...how long has Maggie been part of your family? She is such a sweetheart and such a great traveler, but i really appreciate her independant spirit.
We have had Maggie for nine years, the vet said she probably lived the first year of her life on her own. She is a sweetheart for sure.
Backhoe? Lynn, that man you married is not right in the head sometimes! But we love him anyway! 😂❤
I totally agree with you… but I also love him anyway.
Cape Breton. There are few destinations that are finer. We love exploring there and though we've done it numerous times already, we are not finished. I hope you got to experience a good old Cape Breton Oat Cake while you were there. If not, hit me up - I'll give you the recipe.
I guess I need the recipe. Sounds yummy.
Only if they knew what a one man band Owen is they would have invited him to the stage.
My family has watched your content for a long time. Change is good, Your content has morphed. Sometimes you are in paid camping areas, then boondocking, then state or federal parks. Just a thought, break them up in your videos. Do not make an entire series on boondocking, then a series on state parks, etc. How about instead, have a night of one each in the best rotation you can? Also, do not get hooked up on one contact type. Your Florida series was all about alligators, swamps and manatees, this series seems to be all about light houses. Maybe not, but just felt like that. Look, I am not a "jerk commentator" just want to be helpful so your content continues to thrive. The last you need is someone who kisses up to you with comments that they love everything and then down the road your influence fades. Love the dog, she adds content but you are the stars. Weigh that in for video time too.
Thank you for the very thoughtful and honest suggestions. We'll keep them in mind. Our problem is one that is hard to solve though. We vow to let the UA-cam video tag along with us as we travel, no matter how we travel. We don't travel for the UA-cam channel... does that make sense (I hope). It just turned out for this trip that we just never paid for a campground and there were a ton of lighthouses due to this being the Maritime provinces. Believe me though, we wrestle with what you're saying all the time. But although we love the channel and what it provides for us, we love traveling the way we travel more. We are super glad your family is part of our family for such a long time. Means a lot to us. Stay connected and always let us know what you think, OK?
Love your videos! What bike cover are you using?
We have a Team Obsidian: Bike Covers, we have it in our Amazon store. It’s held up really well so far, I rally like that it has snaps underneath and it cinches in to fit the bikes so it doesn’t blow around.
It’s OK to work on Sun when your retired and have the rest of the week off!! Nice job guys easy watching before NFL
We appreciate you watching and have fun watching NLF today, that’s what Sunday’s in the fall are for.
Its pronounced Baa Deck
Hey Owen- why can't I find you on patreon? What should I be searching for?
That's so nice you'd want to support us. Watching and staying connected with us through comments is support enough for us. Thanks for the smiles here.
Fun x's. I come to your videos for Owens humor, and Lynn's nice legs. Sorry I mean no offense.
Wow, you made both our day’s. Thanks so much for watching.
Travel on a whim is probably the best way........Just pick a direction and go!! Happy Trails 🦮
We agree it’s the best way. Thanks for watching.
