Steam, Stone & Mountains –( Mammoth Hot Springs)
Next up in this clip, we rolled into the tiny town of Mammoth, Wyoming. You guys watched us huff and puff through the Lower Terrace and scale up to the second terrace for an up-close look at those bizarre, oozing mineral formations. And as I pointed out, that ain't regular rock—it's travertine, basically built up layer by delicate layer like nature’s weirdest lasagna.
Then I yanked the Lectric XPeak off the rack and cruised up the Upper Terrace Loop Road. Up top, the view was unreal: hot springs steaming away right below us, framed by big mountain views that make you realize just how small your problems actually are.


(Grand Loop Road): Yellowstone's Hidden Stops
Here you watched us roll south out of Mammoth Hot Springs along the Grand Loop Road.
Our first pitstop was Obsidian Cliff, which—as you saw—is literally an entire mountainside made of shiny volcanic glass. It cooked up from a lava flow roughly 180,000 years ago, and Native peoples were harvesting it for over 11,000 years. Arrowheads carved from this exact slab of glass have been dug up thousands of miles away, which is pretty wild to think about. It's a full-on National Historic Landmark now, complete with a cozy little stone kiosk from 1931.
Next, we checked out Semi-Centennial Geyser. It randomly blew its top back in 1922—right on Yellowstone's 50th birthday—blasting water a few hundred feet into the air before going back to sleep. After that was Roaring Mountain, a whole hillside aggressively hissing and steaming through fumaroles. Legend has it that back in the early 1900s, this place roared so loud you could hear it miles away, though nowadays it just sounds like a giant pressure cooker. And, of course, because it's Yellowstone, we capped it all off by getting stuck staring at some iconic local traffic hazards: bison.

Westport : (Washington's Tallest Lighthouse)
If you watched the video, you know our first stop was the Grays Harbor Lighthouse. Standing 107 feet tall, she’s the tallest lighthouse in Washington State and the third tallest on the entire West Coast! Architect Carl Leick considered her his masterpiece after she was first lit in 1898, and after climbing all 135 steps to the lantern room, I can confirm the view of the ocean, shoreline, and South Beach makes every step worth it. Here's the funny thing about her: when she was built, she was right on the water. But after the south jetty went in, the sand piled up, and the shoreline literally walked away from her! Now she's hanging out back in the trees, a good piece away from the surf.
From there, we headed over to the historic docks at Westhaven Cove and climbed the viewing tower at the marina. You could see for miles up there—the whole fishing fleet, the jetty, and the harbor spread right out.
We wrapped things up at the Westport Maritime Museum, and this place really blew me away. It's housed in the old 1939 Coast Guard station—a gorgeous, three-story Nantucket-style building with a watchtower and widow's walk that ran as Station Grays Harbor until 1972. Inside, it's packed with Coast Guard, fishing, and pioneer history. But the real showstopper on the grounds was the Destruction Island lens—an 18-foot, six-ton Fresnel lens built in France back in 1888 that lit up the coast for over seventy years. Seeing that monster in person was unbelievable!

(Ocean Shores Peninsula) — Washington Coast Road Trip
Since you’ve already been down the 350 steps into Walnut Canyon with us, you know exactly why that hike is such a trip. It’s one thing to hear about the Sinagua people, but actually walking face-to-face with those 700-year-old cliff dwellings is a whole different experience.
You saw how we navigated those canyon walls to get up close to the rooms and stonework that are still holding strong after all these centuries. Even if you've seen the footage, it’s hard to wrap your head around the scale of it—the trail really puts everything into perspective. It’s definitely one of those spots that demands a pause just to take it all in, and you know we couldn't resist doing it RVerTV style.

Forks Washington & The Museum Nobody Talks About!
Today we’re rolling north on Highway 101 right through the heart of the Olympic Peninsula, headed straight for the famous town of Forks, Washington!
First, we made a quick pit stop at beautiful Lake Quinault to take in that stunning glacier-carved lake surrounded by giant old-growth rainforest. Then it was on to Forks, where we stopped at the visitor center to gawk at some absolutely massive logs left over from the town’s glory days—seriously, these things make the RV look like a toy!
Next up was one of the wildest spots on the whole coast: John’s Beachcombing Museum. Talk about a hidden gem! Decades of weird and wonderful stuff washed up from the Pacific—glass floats, buoys, messages in bottles, and things you’d never guess came out of the ocean, all displayed like high art.
To top it all off, we rolled west to La Push, parked the rig right on the edge of the Pacific for the night, and took the eBike out for a sunset spin along the shore with the waves rolling in. You can’t beat that!

Fort Flagler WA — Historic Fort & (Amazing RV Camping)
If you caught today's video, you know we crossed TWO bridges and hopped right over Indian Island to get to one of the coolest hidden pieces of military history in the Pacific Northwest—Fort Flagler State Park on Marrowstone Island, Washington.
Most folks drive right on by without ever knowing it's there, but if you watched, you saw how this old fort was part of the famous "Triangle of Fire" back in the late 1800s. Along with Fort Worden and Fort Casey, it stood watch over Puget Sound to keep enemy ships from ever reaching Seattle.
In case you missed any of it, we checked out the old historic buildings and walked right inside those massive concrete gun batteries where you can practically hear the history ringing through the walls. Then we rolled through the Fort Flagler campground to check out the RV sites, and those views over Port Townsend Bay were out of this world!
If you haven't seen it yet—or just want to soak in those sights again—you better go hit play and check it out!

Port Townsend: (Lighthouses, Old Forts) & a Historic Downtown
Well, Heck Yeah!! If you tuned in to today’s video, you saw us exploring one of the absolute best-preserved seaport towns in America—historic Port Townsend, Washington!
If you watched, you got to see us roll into Fort Worden State Park, another legendary spot in the old "Triangle of Fire." We hit up the Point Wilson Lighthouse, walked right along the water, and checked out all those incredible old historic buildings. But the real jaw-dropper had to be the Commanding Officer’s Quarters Museum—that massive three-story home where the big boss lived with a whole servant staff back in the day, complete with views of the bay that were simply out of this world.
Then, because you know we gotta park in style, we scored the ultimate campsite at Point Hudson RV Park right on the water’s edge—seriously, waking up to a view like that should be illegal. We topped it all off strolling through historic downtown, taking in all those gorgeous Victorian-era buildings.
If you haven't seen it yet—or just want to make yourself jealous of that campsite all over again—go hit play and check it out!

Thanks, all.

My husband and I try to watch your new videos on ROKU but about 45 minutes into them they stop. We have to wait for at least a month or more to be able to watch the whole episode. We wait because your content is really enjoyable but boy is it frustrating. Keep up the travel. Love it.
Do you have any pics of people and their RV’s ( with dogs ) traveling or parked in campgrounds ? That have been printed on mugs, Tshirts, etc ?
We watch your videos and will travel again in May ….. would love to have a plaque or picture with husband/wife and 2 dogs and Rv nearby.
Thank you !

Thanks for saving my sanity. We are unable to travel and are basically home bound. Your trips are the highlight that keeps us going!
Hi Russ,I just want to tell you how much I’m enjoying your videos. I am 74 and don’t get out much anymore. My husband and I always enjoyed traveling.The last trip we took was one month before he passed away.We went to New Hampshire and I introduced him to the cog railroad. I’d been there as a kid but he had never been there.After that we drove over to Maine. Its such a beautiful state and there are so many things to see and do. I know you love light houses and Maine has many. Not all are open to the public but quit a few are .Do you have any plans to visit that area at all? There is a bridge on the Pen o scout river that not only can you drive over, you can go up in the observation tower and look out over the river.There is also an old fort called Fort Knox which you can walk around .!y husband really enjoyed that.I have been to some of the places you have taken us to.I grew up in New York and really enjoyed your videos of the falls and the Erie Canal.I live in Pa now,right in Lancaster County and love visiting Amish Country. I want to get to Ohio to see the worlds largest couckoo clock.I’m anxiously awaiting your choice for a name for the Ebike. My suggestion was Tonto.What ever you decide I’m looking forward to hearing it.Again I’m really enjoying your videos and will keep watching. I’m looking forward to the 2026 season. I have seen a few. Does the new van have a name?
