Highways and Hops
Sometimes the universe delivers exactly what you didn’t know you needed. As we pulled into Seaview RV Resort and Cottages in Eastport, Maine, fellow campers rushed over with barely contained excitement: “Look out at the water! There are whales!” And there they were, minke whales, as we later confirmed on our whale watching tour, swimming …
This review was originally posted August 20, 2023. We updated it on July 24, 2025 after a second visiit to Mason’s. Some places just stick with you. When we first discovered Mason’s Brewing Company during our Bangor Brewery Crawl back in August 2023, we knew we’d found something special. So when we returned to Maine …
We love Berkeley Springs, and try to visit at least a couple of times each year. In early summer 2023, Vince and I took the RV to Little Orleans, MD, which is a few miles down the road from Berkeley Springs, but that trip was shortly before we started the blog, so I didn’t take …
Sometimes the best discoveries happen when Plan A doesn’t work out. We originally had our hearts set on camping in Bar Harbor, but when that didn’t pan out because everything was booked, we found ourselves at the Bangor KOA in Holden, Maine. Honestly? We couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. Not only did …

During our visit to Boston in August 2023, Vince, Parker, and I were exploring the city while waiting for Parker’s friends to catch up with us. We decided to grab a couple of beers, and the Sam Adams Taproom was conveniently nearby. Although we usually visit smaller breweries, we figured it would be fun to …
During our summer of 2023 road trip, we decided to try camping near Boston, MA. On the way, the GPS lied! It should have taken about 6.5 hours to get to the Boston/Cape Cod KOA in from Elizabethtown, PA, but it took more like 9 hours. Granted, there was rain most of the way here, …
Vince and I both love hard cider, so when we were searching for local craft beverage spots during our New England road trip in August 2023, we were excited to find a cidery in Plymouth, MA. High Limb Cider is a cider lover’s paradise tucked away in the back of the G Pub restaurant. If …
