Thousand Islands, Boldt Castle, Antique Boats, Wellesley Island | ZEPHYR TRAVELS - RV Lifestyle
We take a Thousand Island getaway in Northern New Your State. Tour Boldt Castle on Heart Island with Uncle Sam’s Boat Tours in Alexandria Bay. Visit the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton. And stay at the Wellesley Island State Park Campground.
It been a number of years since we last have been to the Thousand Islands and visited Boldt Castle so we were pleasantly surprised how much has changed since then. When we were last there the castle was just an empty shell, not much has been restored to what it was when George Boldt owned it. The best way to get to Heart Island is by Uncle Sam’s Boat tours out of Alexandria Bay (unless you have your own boat.
Also a must see is the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, they have one of the nicest collection of antique wooden boats on display anywhere. You can also get a guided tour of George Boldt’s house boat that was restored by Andy McNally (of the Rand McNally map family)
We stayed at Wellesley Island State Park, one of the largest campgrounds in the area. Beside to get reservations well in advance if you are coming for a summer weekend or plan your stay during the weekdays like we did.
And for the best ice cream in the Thousand Island area be sure to stop at Gal’s Place just off of 81 on RT 12.

25.) Austin, Texas
National Geographic, Gallup, and New York Times best-selling author Dan Buettner did a study which measured a population's happiness using 15 metrics, such as civic engagement, walkability, healthy food options, and access to nature. Austin and the Round Rock area in Texas start off the list because of the Barton Springs pool located within Austin’s Zilker Park. This is a three-acre pool with water sourced from underground springs. In fact, people from all walks of life take advantage of this year-round pool, from swimmers and sunbathers, to locals in order to keep cool in the Texas heat.

Searching for Hearts and Secret Passages in Boldt Castle - Heart Island - Thousand Islands, NY
This beautiful castle, set on Heart Island in the Thousand Island region of New York, has a fascinating history. George Boldt, the proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, built it for his wife to show his love. It was a massive undertaking and no expense was spared. However, shortly before it was finished, she unexpectedly passed away. George Boldt immediately stopped work on the project and it is said that he never set foot on the island again. Today we explore every inch of the castle, from its grandly remodeled rooms filled with furniture once belonging to the family, to the upper levels that have not yet been restored by the Thousand Island Bridge Authority and show evidence of vandals and age. The kids search for hidden hearts, nearly everywhere in the design, and find hidden staircases and even a pool (although it may not have been for swimming). This was an amazing day of exploring!

Medieval America | Episode 4: Three Meads in New England
✅ Support Will via Patreon:
✅ Tip Jar: via PayPal to:
In this episode we travel around three New England States and stop in three different meaderies. One is in Maine. One is in New Hampshire and the third one is in New York state. It was an interesting adventure and I didn’t go from one directly to the other. I have concatenated these three into a video for simplicity. In between I visited some castles. And those videos are coming.
One thing I do want to say is that in the past ten years or so a whole lot of meaderies have popped up in New England, and in America as a whole. The current number of them is now over four hundred! I won’t visit all of them but let’s see how many I can visit in my trek across the country. Here are the first three.
