I just wanted to say I have always loved your videos. We’ve been watching them for years! We actually just started a RU-vid channel, but I’ve been making videos for years. But again awesome job!!!
Finally! I am back from the holiday and watched the video! Awesome as always! Marc I hope you and Mrs. GA and all of the Grand Adventurers had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Anticipating Wednesday night so I can be back with friends on Grand Adventure.
We were there last April and got our non resident pass. Weather was nice and warm. The campground has mostly first come first served but there are some reservable. Campground filled up every evening so get there early for first come first served sites. Water and electric was $4 with pass. I road my bike to the bike trail but hiked that trail the rode back to the campground.
I heard that NM Parks Permit was a really good deal. Glad you had no alien abductions, we need you to finish traveling all of America first . . . then you can travel the Galaxy. Thanks for the Adventure Marc
It was funny, Marian. Every night the raccoons would enjoy their buffet, and every morning the rangers would come clean up the mess. It would be so easy to solve with a critter-proof dumpster.
Well your neighbours were very interesting and didn’t Seam to bothered by your presence but obviously not ones for chatting to much 😂😂😂when you were on the lake you passed some concrete structures ? Very interesting about the UFOs but it’s nice to know nobody’s to crazy about it ! Thanks Marc
Thank you, Gavin! If you mean the structures in the lake, they're roto-molded floating docks. On shore, of course, they're concrete buildings to support the park's beach area that had just closed for the season while we were there.
For a non-resident of NM you have to be planning on sufficient days in NM State Parks to make it worthwhile, but if you're spending a month total in NM State Parks it can save quite a bit of money.
Thank you Sharon! We usually pass through New Mexico at least once per season. We presently have 7 videos that we've filmed in the state, and they're all in this playlist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nUoSrssG2VQ.html
That park looks like a place to really relax. I can’t believe how reasonable the rate is. We always appreciate your efforts in creating such quality content! Safe travels!
Do it sooner rather than later. As the late ski filmmaker Warren Miller so often said, "If you don't do it now, you'll just be a year older when you do."
I was at Bottomless two years ago. Loved the area. Wished they had more hiking trails though. The flies were a bit much when I was there. I'll have to remember when that was. Cheers Marc.
Love all of the kitschy alien stuff! My husband has a t-shirt with 3 or 4 little aliens in UFOs and the caption is something along the lines of: “hey, let’s crash in Roswell!” Great price on the campground - enjoyed the kayaking and your little extras “friends” - both the raccoons & aliens! 👽
Marc... Just wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. As always, enjoyed tonight's episode very much. Safe travels my friend and have fun always. Randy in Des Moines. 👍🦃🍗✌
Well Marc, we can always depend on you to find something worthwhile to explore! I traveled through Roswell but didn’t even see the raccoons much less any aliens..👀😱
Hey Marc, congrats on almost 35K Subscribers! Say, do you have a video pertaining to "Winterizing" your trailer? Tips and Tricks? Our Airstream is winterized, but we'd still like to use it once or twice this Colorado winter...
Hey Marc. Glad your able to get out on kayak. You just glide along there. Looks like a great stopover spot to do some site seeing. I think you were the first that I at least I remember that did a Roswell stop and didn’t just show the alien 👽 stuff. That looked like a cool museum. Worth checking out. Enjoy 😊 stay safe... Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
That was intentional. For one thing, we really weren't interested in the cheesy alien stuff. For another, we wanted to film a different take on the area. While small, Lea Lake was indeed a very pleasant paddle, especially with no one else out there.
Grand Adventure Just wondering, the reviews seem pretty spotty. They looked better until this year. Who knows. Lake looked nice. Always like a nice lake view and being able to get out on it. Price was ok $15. The last reviews really didn’t like the bathrooms. Ha. Which is why there will be one in RV. LOl..... Thanks
I love your videos (& stills), I can see that you invest the time in editing to make your show visually pleasing and your scripted narration combines to make for enjoyable viewing - haven’t missed an episode! I appreciate the scene variation with drone, action-cam shots and was really impressed with your museum footage. Were you using a gimbal? What camera equipment do you have? Anyway, thanks for the great content that keeps me coming back week after week.
Thanks Douglas! The museum shots were handheld using a Sony Alpha a6500 with their 18-105 G-series lens, although we do have two gimbal cameras, a DJI Osmo+ and Osmo Pocket. Everything we use to produce Grand Adventure is included here: www.amazon.com/shop/grandadventure?listId=29P8DKMLOCJAX Thanks so much both for watching, and for your comment!
Thanks for the videos...very interesting...wish you would reorder your all videos list to sequence in the order uploaded...right now its reverse...so kind of hard to start at the beginning and roll through...but thanks just the same...
Thanks for the suggestion, Chuck! Most folks, though, want to see the most recent videos, which is why they're ordered the way that they are. We're happy to have you no matter which order you choose!
@@GrandAdventure I get it...guess I'm the weird one...I like to watch your whole story and see how it all unfolds...in any case thanks for the reply and thanks for the nicely done, thoughtful, videos.
Was just passing through on the way back from Texas, RVing next time for sure, like you content keep it up. How do you like your Tundra for RVing looking to change from a Dodge to something new to go explore and RV in.
Thank you John! We love our Tundra for all but one characteristic: gas mileage. It's horrible, especially compared with domestic trucks. But its reliability and resale value more than makes up for the MPG.
That's what we did, Bert. We'd never get our money back. But if you stay more than several weeks in a NMSP in the course of a year, it makes sense. That just wouldn't be us.
@@GrandAdventure Thank you very much ( I knew it)lol.We love your videos Mark, we camp as much as we can but would love to travel as you do! We have a similar rig as yours and have been to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Zion National Park,Smokey Mtns and a few others but want to do a lot more when we can!
@@TheSunfire96 thanks so much! Just enjoy your rig on your terms. What matters is that you're having fun doing what you do, not what we do, and you've been to some pretty special places with it already.
@@GrandAdventure I agree 100% and we truly do love our adventures and doing it our way but looking forward to full time soon!! Lol. Keep your videos coming, so much info for everyone!!
Thanks Marc... beautiful and humorous review. I was wondering, from the drone aerial footage, what those white dock like structures were by the landing along the lake. Do you know? Gord
They're floating docks, Gord. We actually paddled through them in the kayak segment. The lake is small, though, so I'm not sure what they're used for in season. Rowboats? Sunfish? Not really sure.
@@GrandAdventure Yes, they looked like docks from the air... but then I thought, why so many docs for such a small lake. So I figured they were for something else. Very odd indeed... Gord
The tent sites are not free mark They charge you $10 for a tent site and they don’t have any sign say saying that you have to have a reservation for the lake that you can swim in until you get up there to the lake after you already paid your money
Thank you Mark just letting you know what they told me he said that they’re all cost $10 if you have a reservation you can get the ones with electric water and some even have sewer but you have to have those reserved I’m in a tent site there is a water pump here in a bathroom but there’s no electric or sewer
@@GrandAdventure There is a commemorative monument there. It is in the middle of nowhere. I plan to go back. Everyone I asked in Roswell said I couldn't go there, or get anyone to take me there...which only piqued my curiosity. It's about 70 miles NW of Roswell as the crow flies. Figuring out how to get there is half the fun, so I'll leave that to you. Met an old cowboy very nearby who'd lived there his whole life...had an interesting conversation. You may recognize some nearby ranch buildings from the old photos, which let's you know you're getting close. ;)
We do know that folks do indeed fish Lea Lake, but we don't know what they're catching. I've heard some folks say that they stock it with trout from the nearby hatchery in Dexter, so if I recall my fishing correctly trout and bass usually don't coexist?
Steven Sapien - exactly. He literally says it’s a conspiracy theory and dismisses it all together!! Wow, in my mind that would be like saying cave dwellers with box cutters actually pulled off 9/11!! I guess the brainwashing is alive and well in so, so many folks still. UNSUBSCRIBED
