New England
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.” – Henry David Thoreau
Head to Gloucester, MA for whale watching or Concord, Salem, Walden Pond, Plymouth Rock – all offer rich histories and stunning scenery to explore. Maybe you’ll want to take the van all the way up to Maine – Old Orchard Beach is as idyllic a New England Beach town as you can get. Take to the rolling hills of the Berkshires in Massachusetts or the stunning, mountainous terrain deep in the heart of Maine. Better yet, drive along the entire New England coast on Highway 1/1A for the trip of a lifetime as you hug the spectacular Atlantic coastal shoreline. Find campgrounds along the way, eat your fair share of lobster rolls and never look back.
