    Your videos are absolutely delightful. Clarenville is a pretty area. There’s a special spiritual feeling there. I noticed you were a bit emotional. I felt it when I was there. There’s something interesting about that. I live on the prairies. I loved NL. What a wonderful childhood to live in such a pretty & magical place.

      Thank you so much for your kind words! Clarenville and Newfoundland indeed hold a special charm that can evoke strong emotions and a unique sense of spirituality. The rugged landscapes, close-knit communities, and rich cultural history contribute to creating a truly magical atmosphere. It's wonderful to hear that you felt a similar connection during your time in NL, and it's a place that many people hold close to their hearts. Living in such a picturesque and culturally rich environment can certainly make for a unique childhood experience. We're glad you enjoyed your visit to Newfoundland and that you could share in its beauty and magic.

    Michael, I didn't realize you had history from "The Rock", Navy sent me up to Argentia in 63', I was there for two years. I could not stand living in the barracks so I rented a room out in Placentia with a family who built dory's and fished for cod and lobsters. I went native- when I got my 3 days off I took the CNN ferry out to the South Coast . I spent time out on Marasheen Island and Fox Harbour where I did a lot of trout fishing. I still sing a lot of Newfoundland songs when I go to Chanty fest. I herd you singing one of my favorite's - Islander in your Labrador video. I had a Swampscott dory a few years ago, and Christine and me used to go out and play with the dolphins off the coast here in Delaware. Cap'n Rick (Christines Dad) Port of Lewes, Delaware

      That's amazing! I used to take the ferry every year to Nova Scotia, where my mom is from. Rough sometimes! Newfoundland is a great place. I appreciate it more now than I ever did before. Thanks for sharing!

      @@theRTWguys They scream on me for killing the Seale's; they begrudge my child food then. For where the soil is thin the blood is thick' but that they will never understand, until they have lived in the cove like me. But the Greenpeace ship's keep sailing, screaming about the slaughter and ey'e ''Eyi' Bye's, I kill the seals, but I do not wear their coat's. So go see your rich and famous, and leave the Newfoundland men alone, cause' he's got to make a living, so he can feed the wife and babe's at home!

    I haven't been in newman sound for like almost 20 years, but I remember the bats used to be pretty common to see around the public bathrooms eating the bugs around the light just outside. They'd dive after us as kids sometimes lol. Im also from Clarenville

    • @theRTWguys
      @theRTWguys  11 місяців тому

      It sounds like you have some fun and interesting memories from Newman Sound! Bats can certainly add a unique aspect to the outdoor experience, even if they were playfully diving after you as kids. Clarenville and the surrounding areas offer a lot of natural beauty and wildlife. If you ever have the chance to revisit, you might find that some things have changed while others remain wonderfully familiar. Thanks for sharing your memories, and I hope you have the opportunity to make new ones in the future!

    My dad would get “frankum” for me to chew if I had a canker (or what we call an ulcer in NL). It didn’t taste too good and it was very crumbly at first but got a little chewier and mellowed out after a little while. I had quite a few ulcers I didn’t tell me dad about because I’d be given some frankum for it and it wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m sure it was effective though, lol. I’m from Campbellton, NL, just a 10 minute drive from Lewisporte on the Road to the Isles. I spent quite a bit of time in Bonavista Bay while growing up. My brother lived in Sandy Cove and worked in Glovertown. Gorgeous place. Did you ever swim at a place called “Crooked Tree Park” or “Crooked Tree Pond”? Really cool. All the trees are indeed crooked or “squish”, lol

    Another wonderful video, and I think that your home town sounds familiar to me. I’m wondering how far it would be from Badger, and or Grand Falls? Thanks!

    • @theRTWguys
      @theRTWguys  11 місяців тому

      I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The distance between Badger and Grand Falls-Windsor is approximately 44 kilometers (about 27 miles) by road. The driving time between the two towns is around 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic and road conditions. Both Badger and Grand Falls-Windsor are located in the central part of Newfoundland, making them relatively close to each other in terms of travel distance.

I have a summer home in the Terra Nova region and now that Im retired, I get to go up there just about every summer. Do you live in the US? I see you're wearing a US Old Navy tee..

    Well, well, well. The mystery of the disappearing blueberries is finally solved. Imagine our surprise and disappointment when we arrived at our cabin that year to find our blueberries all but gone. Our 7-year old was devastated! We had seen the plentiful flowers and green berries that year and knew there was going to be a bountiful harvest. We were just waiting for them to ripen!! Who taught you it was ok to walk all over someone’s property and take what’s not yours? I don’t mean a handful or a taste, I’d be fine with that. But a blueberry rake? You all but picked the branches clean. Not cool, buddy, not cool. We like enjoy our blueberries every year!
