We recap season one of Next Stop Somewhere, reflecting on our non-luxury, real-life RV trip that began after closing on our home on August 5, 2025 and ending back in New Hampshire.
Our trip by the numbers: 328 days, 41 stops in 26 states, and 25,000 miles driven.
Highlights included seeing all the Great Lakes, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico coasts, but most of all: no catastrophic events (unless you count buying a new trailer and truck!) or tickets. We review standout and disappointing campgrounds such as James Island County Park (top overall), Thousand Trails Hershey and Mount Hood, Wilson/Daisy Barn Campground in Wilson NY, and Columbia Falls RV Resort near Glacier National Park.

Season Finale! We visit “lovely” Rondout/Kingston, New York, reviewing our unfortunate stay at Rondout Valley Thousand Trails Campground, kind of enjoy some food but love Sunrise Bagel & Deli and are entertained by the Running Deer Inn/Road Kill Cafe story. We visit yarn/fiber shops, the Mid-Hudson Valley Discovery Center, and a Kingston park with birds/animals.
We will be undergoing some SERIOUS changes in format and content for next season - stay tuned!

We cover three-weeks near Hershey, Pennsylvania - the Sweetest Place on Earth. Thousand Trails Hershey was first rate - despite being in the highly visible handicap site placement - with plenty to do, and plenty of nesting geese. A few mediocre restaurants are balanced by a standout brunch at Côte Rouge. Yarn store, fabric stores, and the historic Broad Street Market all get a visit along with the disappointing National Civil War Museum and Hershey’s Chocolate World tour that’s not REALLY a tour. All capped off with Louise’s recollections of being one of the first girls admitted to the Milton S. Hershey School. Spoiler: It was not a great time.

This week’s adventure features Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, site of some historic event or another, we’re not really sure what. We spend some time at the museum and in town exploring the battlefield sites, and also trek down to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia - site of John Brown’s attempt to mount an insurrection - to add a sticker to our map. Yarn stores are visited, good food is enjoyed, and new friends are met from distant lands (Kyrgyzstan and South Korea, specifically)!.

We discuss celebrity nut-kicking (being kicked in said nuts by celebrities) and explore the area of Virginia near Williamsburg, Yorktown, and the Chesapeake Bay. Along the way, some great food at Frank’s Monster Munchies and 185 Restaurant, some mediocre yarn shops, and two fabric stores - one great, and one… not so great. We visit two museums, one great and one not so great, but the not so great is redeemed by an Outlander costume exhibit. Finally, startling revelations are made about Jeff’s ancestors!

We spend three weeks on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, staying at Goose Creek RV & Campground Resort. Along the way, we explore Fort Macon State Park, the North Carolina Maritime Museum (Blackbeard artifacts!), and Beaufort’s Old Burying Ground. We have the best shrimp and grits yet (well, Jeff does), and more (mostly) great food. Of course, some yarn and fabric stores get a visit too!
