- This week we take a ride on the Mt. Washington Cog Railway, inspired by a photo taken of my dad nearly 100 years ago. Then it is on to Acadia National Park to explore and do a lot of video editing.

$100 per person? Thanks for putting up the money and videoing it, most here wouldn't buy that ride, well me anyway. ; - )
Oh, my, so appreciate your video today, just gorgeous scenery. But most of all, that you and John have each other to share a common love of travel and beautiful memories. Those are the precious moments in life you will one day keep in your heart. My one day happened a few weeks ago, and tough as it is, I will still travel, will keep moving forward. Looking forward to your next adventure. 🙋🏼♀️❤️😎
Thanks Judy!
....I can smell the salty air from Atlantic...Mmmmm.Great❤️video.
I love that the weather was changing all the time so you got a glimse of " their fog",glad it was not crowded on your trails...love your new top and yes... the pie.
...We've been there many times..The Kancamagus Hwy in a fall is a must..
OMG the “eew” & John’s ice cream 😂😂🤣
Love those old then and now photos. Hope you took one of you this trip. Have photo of oldest daughter at 11 mo. in my backpack carrier. We were standing in the doorway of Beaufort Castle, Luxembourg. A second with us in same doorway when the family (now 3 daughters) took a Euro trip and she was a H.S. Senior.
That’s awesome!
Smart girls always bring their sweater along.
Such serenity and story telling leaves the soul fulfilled. But now craving pie
GREAT video. Brought back memories of the Cog RR which I rode in '68 and again in '98. Steam only then, but a little soot is what adds character to the ride.
I get to summit Mt Wash. again later today. I'm following 2 AT thru hikers who hiked up back on 7/22 and are scheduled to post their video later today. Jay Wanders Out is the YT channel name.
BTW - you are correct. The other cog RR in the US is Pikes Peak.
So great that you pulled up a photo of your dad at the cog rail road. Thanks for sharing.
Love Acadia. Thanks. Looking forward to Canadian Maritime vids!!👏👏
Mt. Washington wasn’t a Harvest Host when I was last there, wish it had been as we spent the day in the parking lot across the road. Glad you got into Arcadia as I was a 23’ truck camper at the time and no go per rangers. They lie about the bridges tho. I parked where those other RVs were. Days gone by and thanks for the memories!
Wonderful , now I`m jealous. Thanks so much
What a beautiful part of the world. That pie looks pretty good..🚴♂️
We were in Winter Harbor after we saw you. It is a lovely small town. We tried to take the ferry to Bar Harbor but it was raining too hard. The ferries were cancelled. Years ago we drove up Mount Washington and will never do it again! 80° F at the bottom and 30°F at the top and windy! They warned us to hold on tight to our 3 year old. Love watching these videos.
Here’s the backstory on the ferry. They only have one skipper. So when the weather is bad it is his excuse to take a day off. Otherwise he works 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whew.
@@FromShetoMe wow, no wonder he took the day off.
Wonderful and love the musical accompaniment!
I grew up in Gorham, NH and worked at the Mt. Washington Auto Road during the summers while in college. Always makes me smile to see others enjoying how beautiful our backyard is!
Thank you for sharing s fun video with us.
You touched my heart spot today. My wife and I camp-honeymooned at Acadia in 2000. Sweet memories.
Thanks for another beautiful episode. Until next time, take care and safe travels.
Pikes Peak Cog Railroad is a trip which I make every visit to the Broadmoor Hotel since 1956.
Beautiful scenery and music. Another wonderful video.
Amazing, informative and incredible narration and editing! I look forward to seeing y'all every Friday. Stay safe and thanks for letting us tag along. Much love from SC, Jane ❤️ 🙏
Thanks so much for this video.Iam planning a trip to Maine next year. You have given me good ideas and sites to see.
Thanks for taking us along. Looked to be an interesting area to visit. Until next time... Travel safe.
Another great video. We skipped New Hampshire on our way up to Canada because the Frank Lloyd Wright house in Manchester didn’t have any tour openings for a couple weeks out. Back in the 70s I hiked to the top of Mt. Washington while the rest of my family drove to the top and I hitched a ride down. Interesting to compare your and our Acadia experiences. We stayed 4 nights in 4 different campgrounds. Two national park (Seawall and Schoodic) and two private (Bass Harbor and Bar Harbor). Our Class C is 25 ft so we could not do the roads so we took the shuttle instead. On our way out we stayed at Sholom Vineyards Harvest Hosts that produces a delicious Mead. See you next week to find out how you entered Canada…
Love love love your photography and narration. Y’all look so happy….and I love blueberry pie…yum
Great music selections! I always enjoy the music you choose.
I so appreciate all your travel stories. Thank you for sharing your experience. Meggi and my dog Nikki, traveling the Us.
Covered Flume Gorge, Echo Lake and the Kanc just a couple months ago - the White Mtns were so beautiful under the bright Sun!
I had the same feeling when I visited Mount Rushmore that you did at the Mt Washington cog railway. My mom and grandmother visited Mount Rushmore in the ‘30s when it was still being constructed. They were on their way back to Pasadena from picking up their new Studebaker in South Bend and took pictures of it with incomplete heads and workers hanging out of eyes and noses. It felt like part of the continuum to get to go back in the ‘70s and see it completed.
That is so cool!
WOW just WOW!
Great video. Happy travelers are the best! Thanks for sharing .
Thank you for sharing. I grew up in NH and ME (summers). You visited all of my favorite hangouts. At Mt Washington, anyone who doesn’t want to pay $100 to ride up then the can hike to the top following Tuckerman’s Ravine. A 3.6 mile challenging hike to the top on the south side. The coast line of ME is my favorite. I road my bike on two different occasions to the top of Cadillac Mountain. The ride down hill is so steep and the speed so high I was not able to stop my bike until I reached the bottom. It was an exhilarating experience. Safe travels.
That would be a scary ride.
Spectacular
Beautiful part of the country. Thanks for showing us around.
Debra & John so happy to see you showcase our home state, Maine. Acadia Nat’l Park & Baa’Haa’Ba. Lucky the weather was clear for drive up Cadillac Mtn for those views. The footage you chose, paired with piano soundtrack very nice. Will have to get one of thos BB crumb pies soon😉
Welcome to New Hampshire. Take a hike, there are alot of 4k peaks to choose from. Enjoy and be safe.
Very nice, thanks for bringing us.
Awesome video!!! Gorgeous!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Fun video. Ice cream and pie! Shud start a second channel” John’s pie and ice cream picks”! Thanks for sharing!
Was that a cassette toilet being towed by a bicycle? Too funny! Love the new sweater, I like zip up the front ones, I have one from Montana that I just love. I have a friend here in So. Cal. who travels to Maine every Fall...my goal for next year in the campervan but maybe a little earlier due to weather, don't want to chance rain/snow. Bought gas today for $5.49, it's gradually coming down. Loved today's episode, thanks for sharing!
What a magical video! You visited some amazing places in this vlog, so many wonderful hikes!
Beautiful!
I hope you did Bee Hive trail, what a great hike and the view is incredible
No we didn’t. Maybe next time.
Great video. Beautiful scenery. Your editing makes excellent story telling. Good work!
Maine is gorgeous, I was there some years ago in late Sept early October, less people! Loved it!! Safe travels!!😃🇺🇸🌞
FSTM,,,,HelloDEBBIE&JOHN,,nice part of that trip, way back there was a Hugh 2 bladed wind turbine,,butnI recall it broke in a winter storm on MT.WASHINGTON,It may still be there but broken
There is a cog railway in PITTSBURGH PA , Never been on any of them,,there is a guy at SANDOS/NOVARTIS IN NJ he and a girlfriend spent a week, @ARCADIA SP he enlarged some photos, from that trip, he brought in a 30” print to show me, whenI worked there,, the highest place I’ve been to, we drove, to HALEAKALA CRATER in MAUI , IN72, was so 10000+ feet 38*F , COLD IN SHORTS., so QUIET, UP THERE ! , well I’ll await your next video, GOD BLESS YOU, Stay well, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Deb, Maine looks good on you! Safe travels.
Another great Vid. We always look forward to the next one.
Ha ha, man towing a poop cart down the hill at the end of your video. Wonder what his plan was on how to stop the cart.......funny ending.
It is funny the things we see. Just have to share them.
So loved this video! I lived in the White Mountains of New Hampshire for 18 years, so you were in my backyard! One of my friends used to work on the cog railroad, and my daughter was a concierge at Mt. Washington Hotel.
Spent some time camping in Bar Harbor... took a plane ride around the island, also kayaked around Porcupine Islands, which you showed in your video of Bar Harbor, just before you showed the "area for RVs to park...but not much room". They were the three islands in a row which resembled porcupines...Ha!
I have many pleasant memories of my time and adventures all over New Hampshire and Maine!
Happy travels!
Sure wish we could have seen it in the 1920’s.
I live in Maine, and appreciate the work you put into editing, voice overlay, graphics and music, resulting in this gorgeous and accurate reflection of Maine's coast (and NH's mountains). Thanks so much.
Thank you!
You were lucky. I was at Mt. Washington last August and it was so cold and foggy you couldn't see much.
Another nice video.We had plans of staying in Acadia State park in 2020 and pandemic hit and that was that.
Just finished planning our trip in Sept. looking forward to it after seeing your great productions
Be sure to check back and read folks comments because they usually share tips and things we missed.
Oh…Schoodic!!!!! My husband and I did a National Park volunteer job at the institute for 3 months and the lady you were speaking to while inside the main welcome center is the job I had. Such great memories!!!! In fact, Schoodic Woods campground was just completed the summer we were there so I was happy to hear you liked the facility. There are so many insider tips I could have shared. Hopefully you got some fresh lobster from the “lobster pound” in Winter Harbor. A very good friend of ours was stationed at Schoodic while in the Navy and the stories he shared were unbelievable. We covered all of Maine but that little town was our absolute favorite. Thanks for the memories.
Wow. What a great place to volunteer.
Beautiful video! You absolutely capture the feeling of being at Acadia! And Blueberry Pie while in Maine is a must but John needs to make it ala mode :o)
I wish the freezer in our van kept ice cream hard enough. But John is always a whipped cream guy.
What a beautiful video!! We have a house in Southwest Harbor Maine and just love it up there. Coming up in 9 days! Y’all come on down to Charleston SC for a visit.
Thanks for sharing all the beauty the east coast has to offer - WONDERFUL❣️
The public road up is the scariest road EVER‼️
Looked scary to me too.
You know what I like about your channel....both of you still have curiosity.....
That’s funny you should say that. Just today I was talking to John about how many people we meet who don’t seem to be curious about much of anything.
You do such a great job with your videos! Travel safely.
Cang-ga-mang-gus hwy. Or the kangi as we call it
we went to Acadia 2021 in October on a Tuesday...who would be there...it was packed. The park is being loved to death. They need to limit the number of people who can drive in it. Perhaps have a lot outside the park where bikes are available to ride in the park. This would cut the traffic jams and crowding in the park.
For sure! The Schoodic side was much more laid back.
So fun to watch this one! We are in NY heading to Maine & have two weeks to get to our destination - whoohoo! We were just talking about pie (we never eat it) and I said that we saw so many “pie” signs (lots in Minnesota?) and why do we never stop & get one? 😂
Yes, and ice cream too!
Seems like you guys have been crisscrossing the country this summer.
Coffee Stipend!
Incredible scenery and fellowship. Thanks to you both for sharing your journey. Curious to know what type of work you both did before retirement? Thanks

Learned something new. John can not be trusted with whip cream.
I love that sweater!
"...just a bit steep" - no pun intended.
squeeky shoes are so fun. Maybe it's a guy thing?
Beautiful country. It is heart warming to see how well you two get along. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels!
Loved Acadia and Schoodic! We were there June 22-23. Our PW Lexor was barely cleared for the Cadillac Mountain drive, after we left the bikes and rack at our campsite. At what point did you enter Canada? We went from Acadia to Lubec and crossed over for a day trip to visit the Campobello International park.
Stephens Bridge. Was very easy. No lines.
Thanks!!! This was early June I suspect you are in route home already. Great video and views.
June 15ish. We just finished RAGBRAI yesterday.
@@FromShetoMe is that the bicycle ride across Iowa? Did you both ride it?
@@ijblessjourney Each day, John rode the first half and I rode the second half. That way we could move the van forward. We had a blast.
It’s a wonder that John returned with the entire pie.
True.
Another great video of your travels…thanks for the tips. Loved the part with you and John sitting on the bench together looking out at the water. Safe travels. (Are you in the middle of the RAGBRAI ride? I keep looking at the temperatures and wondering where you are.)
Tomorrow’s the last day. Couldn’t have asked for better weather. We have had a blast!
We've been visiting Acadia almost every year for the past 30 years. Never see a blueberry pie this good. Where did you get it?
A small bakery in Winter Harbor. Don’t know the name but easy to find.
I understand that Mountain Washington is windiest mountain in United States.
You can unplug the cable from your throttle and that turns your ebike in to a class 1 bike.
I’ve been wondering about that and whether the authorities would accept it as such. Our bikes already have a button that disables the throttle. I guess I’ll have to do some research.
@@FromShetoMe if your throttle is disabled, then it is a class 1 bike. That is your free anonymous Internet legal advice for the day!
A bit steep indeed
Another great video... thanks! How is your planning coming along for a Ford Transit build? I, too, am considering that.
Better order the chassis now. We are still waiting and no word from Ford.
@@FromShetoMe That's what I was afraid of. This used to be so much easier.🤔
Do you mind sharing where you got the front overhead cargo net? I have been looking for it and nets in other places in my van. Thank you!
Should be listed in my Amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/fromshetome
@@FromShetoMe I found it！😊under RV Projects. Thank you so much! I have also been looking for a 7-feet long net for my storage/bunker. I will keep looking.
@@FromShetoMe I have learned sooooo much from your postings! Love everyone of them!🥰🥰
Please put the date filmed on your videos.
I’ll try to remember but John did mention the date in a clip. June 15.
It appears that you do not have your bikes along? Do you miss them?
We left them in Illinois but picked them up on our return from Canada for the bike ride across Iowa. We did not miss them.
@@FromShetoMe I forgot about the Ragbrai !
