One night in Portland, Maine
We didn’t plan to stop in Portland. Yes, it’s a cool town with a great beer scene, but we’d been there before (although it was many moons ago when we lived in Boston in the early Aughts) and the camping...

Two days in Camden, Maine
Campground After leaving Bar Harbor, we wanted to explore Central Maine’s coast, so we spent two nights at Megunticook Campground near the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland. It’s a super friendly park, with a sweet doggy in the office...
Five days in Bar Harbor, Maine
Dragging the Airstream down narrow, low-clearance, steephilly New England roads was completely worth it: Bar Harbor, and specifically Acadia National Park, is a spectacular vacation destination. We ate an absurd number of lobster rolls, drank as much local beer as...
One night in Hershey, PA
Our first real target destination on our road trip to Acadia was J’s mom’s house in Beverly, MA, but we didn’t want to do the drive from VA to MA with the Airstream all in one day. Hershey, PA sits...
Two days in Nashville, TN (visit #4)
Nashville was our second-to-last stop on Big Trip #2, because it’s well-positioned for heading home from Out West, and because it’s a super fun town with a great urban camping situation. Read about our previous Nashville visits: ONE, TWO, THREE!...
One night in Hot Springs, AR (visit #2)

Five days in Austin, TX (visit #3)
Austin is our favorite big-city Airstream destination! The campground is more conveniently located than any hotel, and the running, eating, and drinking are top-notch. Give me a scenic run along a river, a fish taco, and a beer, and I...
Two nights in Alpine, TX
Alpine is just the quirkiest little town waaaaaay out in the desert of West Texas, a 30-minute drive from also-quirky Marfa, and 100 miles from Big Bend National Park. It’s a fantastic base for trips into the National Park: it...
Four days in Tucson, AZ
J and I have a past relationship with Tucson: J’s brother lived there for many years, through grad school and marriage and first real job and the birth of both of his kids, so we’ve visited a bunch. However, the...
Four days in Flagstaff, AZ (visit #2)
Flagstaff was one of our favorite cities on Big Trip #1, and we were excited to return for the many, many hiking and beer drinking opportunities! Campground Our home base this visit was Black Bart’s RV Park, a big park...
