Island Park is my backyard! Truly is the "secret" of Yellowstone. No crowds, open camping, cheaper food, and the West Side of the Tetons is just south of here! "West side is the best side". Idaho is the place to be.
Fun Episodic Journey. In Equador, we stood beside a toilet which when flushed in the North the water went from left to right - crossed the line for the toilet to flush right to left. The Continental Divide and Pikes Peak are similar photo ops.
We were at a campground just outside of Yellowstone and I backed the truck into the 5th wheel hitch. Had a new tailgate put on after we got home. I was so upset that I did that but chocked it up to what not to do again. 😊
We bought our lectric bikes a few years back on your recommendation & we absolutely love them! They really are excellent bikes & work so very well. We had the upgraded seats from day 1 but I just got the HUGE seat for my big behind & I love it
I can't believe we're going to be in TX 2 hrs from you doing our eclipse thing in Mansfield. We're going there from Western NC. We were within 2 hrs of your rally in upper FL too. I guess we're destined to run parallel to you guys and never intersect. It's going to be a great time there
Dusty dirty faces means a good time!! My husband and another couple (our best friends) took our 4 wheelers to Wallace Idaho about 10 years ago and went through the mountains to Montana, it was an all day adventure and when we finally made it back just after the sun went down we were exhausted and dirty from the all of the dust.. Wonderful memories that I will never forget... So glad you all enjoyed your adventure in the mountains..
I backed into my brand new Solitude 380FL three weeks ago with less damage to my rv and it was a $2100 bill! Fixing the tailgate was $950. Expensive lesson to learn as I was trying to avoid the pin box while backing in a torrential downpour forgetting my rear end was raised higher than normal with my air bags inflated! What a horrible feeling!
Yep, you are in good company; hubs was backing in this past winter when I was in the fiver and I felt the "bump". First time in our 20 years of owning 5th wheels. 😮 We just left the 2 little dimples in our tailgate; I consider them RV battle scars and hope we don't repeat the experience.
Battle scars is a perfect term. We are newbies and just obtained battle scars on both long sides of our rv. My husband has had his CBL for years. He is used to driving trucks and school busses. He thought driving our 5th wheel would be the same. It's not.
I carry a folding step stool in the back of the truck. When setup at the RV I set the step stool right where I want the back end to stop. I can see the step stool in the camera.
There is a rule I have shared a lot that says, "If you can't see. STOP!" This is a rule I have followed, even when it comes to a spotter. If I lose site of my wife when backing in, I stop.
In all your nomading, if thats the worst, youve beem doing things right I have to say lots of full time people have come and gone. You all are still here
I got a two for one this past summer on vacation. My tailgate came open while I was driving and I didn’t know it. When I stopped to get gas and had to make a sharp turn, the tailgate hit the front of my trailer.
I’m going to IN have reservations full hookup for the eclipse April 7 to 9th. Can’t wait. I would love to have join all you guys but TX is a bit far for me. Loved this video!
@LessJunkMoreJourney thank you so much. I'm thinking to by a van, of course after the money is saved up. I've already rescued 1 dog for a companion for my service dog and a playmate for me. It's coming along. I'm hoping by the time the get together in quartzite, AZ starts 🙏 no insurance cause I was doing a major rebuilt on the motorhome. I'm thankful I took my little service dog with me that afternoon ☺️ 🤗
Oh boy can I relate to that “glare” when backing up…. But I put a big HOLE in the side of the house when backing up our RV !!!! Small drivable with a trailer hitch…. on a dark rainy night…. 🤦♀️
Question: What was the name of the town/community that had that huge house and the log houses in the background while y'all were on the side by side excursion?
Great video! It was nice meeting you both at the Lippert event. This is Jim and Patty the 2 non-meat eaters. We are the two people at the beginning of your video. Marisa was always helping us find things we could eat which wasn't always very much, but we are use to that happening. Lippert did ask us before the event if we had any special diet needs, so we were a little disappointed that there weren't that many times where we could get vegan meals. Other than that it was a very fun event. I don't think we will be able to make it to the Texas event it's a long trip for us, and if we go to the Lippert event in October it will be to much for us coming from Washington State. We did a long trip after the Lippert event and had a few things go wrong I put our motorhome in the ditch not once but 2 times back to back. very minor damage to the rig, but the lesson I learned is when doing a long drive day it's better to stop more than to drive and be tired and make mistakes. I like that you share your mistakes because we all can learn from each other. God Bless and Y'all stay safe out on the roads.
Marisa, I did the same thing three weeks ago, except my "hit" was a tree in my blind spot at night. Still, no excuse and couldn't bring myself to claim insurance for the $2k repair. Happens to the best people! 😁
What a great video! Sorry your truck and rv got hit. Accidents happen. My sister back up into my car one time and dented my fender and license plate. My brother fixed it while he was out here in Vegas. Sad to hear about someone and dog died at Yellowstone. You all did a lot while you were the rally. Nice seeing Marissa driving the ATV. Great job on driving it. Glad you were able to get someone to fix your dumping tank. I wish I could meet up with you all in Texas for the eclipse but I’ll be there in spirit. You all have fun and enjoy your week and have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family. 🦃 safe travels. Have a great week!
Another great video, you guys produce entertaining content every single week. Is there a way to attend the Night Light rally without actually camping in the campground with you? For example if we were to stay in an Airbnb nearby? We are considering becoming full-time RVers and we watch your channel and also FOS faithfully, but we haven't pulled the trigger on an RV yet.
We looked into this and currently we haven’t been able to figure out a way for day passes, but that may happen. Another idea it to rent an RV from Outdoorsy or RV Share and make it a learning experience.
I am currently RV-less 😢, but I'd love to come. Can I either tent camp or do they have camping cabins available? I've been planning my eclipse trip, but I'd much rather share it with y'all.
Been talking to my favorite RV websites about how you guys make your money on you tube. Seems like nobody knows. # 1 : Subscribe to channel # 2 : Hit the like button ( thumbs up ) # 3 : Watch the ads all the way thru. ( I will be honest, if you skip the ads, they make nothing. the longer you watch the ads, the more they make. ) The thing that bothers me is they have no control of the ads. Most are 30 seconds or less. Will watch those just to support the channel. The ones that get me are the Floor&Decor that last 3 minutes. Have to skip. # 4 : Watch the video to the end. ( They are judged on how long you watch, to the end. Golden. ) Show your love for them, complete all 4. I know I will !!!!!!!!!!
I lasted not even 5 min on this trail before I had to take the keys from my dad and head back to the car. I was dizzy and had one of my first migraines. I was 12, and 7 years later, I'd find out I was allergic to Sulfa.
Nathan: “gas on the left and brake on the right”? What? No wonder why Hensley was worried! 🤪🤪. Liked the RV movie clip. Did you guys get a bunch of spectators? 💩💩
This is why I don't trust backing using the rear camera. I learned to back up by turning my body and looking out the rear window. Haven't backed into anything in 50 years. Safe travels.
We were invited to the Lippert Rally. Somewhere we found a website that has a calendar of many RV rallies. I don't have the link but you can Google it.

I can't believe we're going to be in TX 2 hrs from you doing our eclipse thing in Mansfield. We're going there from Western NC. We were within 2 hrs of your rally in upper FL too. I guess we're destined to run parallel to you guys and never intersect. It's going to be a great time there
"She could flip this thing over" good one Hensley.
😂😂😂😂
Dusty dirty faces means a good time!! My husband and another couple (our best friends) took our 4 wheelers to Wallace Idaho about 10 years ago and went through the mountains to Montana, it was an all day adventure and when we finally made it back just after the sun went down we were exhausted and dirty from the all of the dust..

It was awful.
The Tennessee rally was amazing!!!
👏👏👏👏
Best of luck with the Eclipse rally!! Looks like big fun!
Thanks! We are so excited!
it is truly amazing where ATVs can take you and Hensley was a real trooper in the back seat.
She really was!
Yep, you are in good company; hubs was backing in this past winter when I was in the fiver and I felt the "bump". First time in our 20 years of owning 5th wheels. 😮 We just left the 2 little dimples in our tailgate; I consider them RV battle scars and hope we don't repeat the experience.

Love that we made the video. You recording us recording you 😂
ha, ha awesome 😀
Thank you for sharing your adventures. I can’t wait for the next video.
Thanks for watching!
Hensley and that "Ricky Bobby" moment...we're still laughing.
😂😂😂
The Getaway was such a cool event. We had a blast. It was good to get to see you guys again. We looking forward to the next time.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Thanks for watching!
Awesome Marissa I knew you could do it😊
It was a lot of fun!!
I carry a folding step stool in the back of the truck. When setup at the RV I set the step stool right where I want the back end to stop. I can see the step stool in the camera.
"Stuck like a hair in a biscuit." Bahahaha! That's excellent.
I did the exact same thing, didn't pay attention to the camera or parking sensor alarm because I knew what I was doing.
It’s a real bummer. Sorry that happens to you as well.
Couple to catch up on. Just wanted to wish you and family a wonderful and happy thanksgiving !!!!!!
Thanks so much
There is a rule I have shared a lot that says, "If you can't see. STOP!" This is a rule I have followed, even when it comes to a spotter. If I lose site of my wife when backing in, I stop.
Good rule! My brain told me that and o didn’t listen.
I did the same thing. There are alot of tail gates on Facebook Market place. I found the same color good luck.
Thanks for the info
In all your nomading, if thats the worst, youve beem doing things right
I have to say lots of full time people have come and gone. You all are still here
We are loving it! All the ups and downs are part of the Journey!
Wonderful video. Thank you for taking me along.
Thanks for watching
The off road adventure looked so fun - I’d want to drive too! -Heather
I got a two for one this past summer on vacation. My tailgate came open while I was driving and I didn’t know it. When I stopped to get gas and had to make a sharp turn, the tailgate hit the front of my trailer.
Oh no.
Oh my goodness I just love ya'all. So much fun to watch your family adventures and dream of the hope of my own
Thanks so much
I enjoyed "visiting" Yellowstone" with y'all😊 It was fun, beautiful, informative and funny😅 Thank you!
It was awesome, thank you so much.
I’m going to IN have reservations full hookup for the eclipse April 7 to 9th. Can’t wait. I would love to have join all you guys but TX is a bit far for me. Loved this video!
Thank you.
Shhhhh. I just bought 2 x LECTRIC bikes and it's hubby's Christmas gift!
Your secret is safe with me 😉
I surely missed ya all. I've been out of service, per say. I'm excited to seeing your videos again. Oh, I lost my motorhome in July and 2 dogs with it
So sorry to hear that, we are happy to have you back ❤
@LessJunkMoreJourney thank you so much. I'm thinking to by a van, of course after the money is saved up. I've already rescued 1 dog for a companion for my service dog and a playmate for me.

It was definitely a great rally and am so looking forward to next year's rally. It was so much fun!
We loved it as well.
Oh boy can I relate to that “glare” when backing up…. But I put a big HOLE in the side of the house when backing up our RV !!!! Small drivable with a trailer hitch…. on a dark rainy night…. 🤦♀️
It's all part of the journey 😀
That looked like a lot of fun!! " Hold on like a hair in a biscuit" that's a classic :)
😂😂😂
Thanks you all!
I didn’t realize how much I needed a good laugh!
Glad you had a good one.
Question: What was the name of the town/community that had that huge house and the log houses in the background while y'all were on the side by side excursion?
We already have our site reserved for the eclipse….our driveway! Good times!
Wonderful!
Hensley was worried ❤
I don’t know why 😂😂😂
Thanks for the shoutout! Sorry the trick didn't work. Must have been one hell of a clog! Glad you got it sorted.
We love rallies! Looks like a great time was had by all.

Super vlog as always. ❤🇬🇧
Thank you! 😃
You guys Rock 🎵🎤🎼Thank you so much for this awesome episode!!!! 🥰❤️👏💕
Thank you for watching.
I’m planning a trip to GTNP and Yellowstone next summer. Can you tell me what campground you stayed at in this video?
It was Nomad View a Boondocking site outside of Grand Tetons.
@@LessJunkMoreJourney you mentioned the Lippert event in Island Park, ID. Was that at Red Rock RV Park?
Happy Thanksgiving 😊
Thank you and to you as well.
What a great trip! Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!!
Thank you! You too!
Loved it!
Ah gotta love that atv dust bath🤣😂 been there done that.
So much fun!
Hensley's face when she saw the dirt! 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome, and Hensley look ❤

Can't think of anything better than eating tacos around a campfire with your family, wish I could make it to Texas!
That is so sweet! Next time!
Saw y’all in Traveling on Adventures video that was Cool 😎
Oh fun! We had a blast!
@@LessJunkMoreJourney It looked like it!!
Nice episode you guys.
Thank you so much.
Closest I've come toexciting off-roading was renting a Jeep in San Francisco and going up and down those steep streets!
😂😂😂
I am currently RV-less 😢, but I'd love to come. Can I either tent camp or do they have camping cabins available? I've been planning my eclipse trip, but I'd much rather share it with y'all.
No they don't have either option available. ☹
@@LessJunkMoreJourney Oh well, only 3 1/2 more years until I get my next RV maybe we'll meet up then (or in line for cinnamon bread at Dollywood, lol)
How do you register for this event ? Next year , I’d love to do this !
Join the Lippert’s Scouts for updates. They have an app and will update when the event releases.
JJ’s face was the best!
Love those sweet cheeks 🥰
7:40: Hang on like a hair in a biscuit... Yep, gonna use that one now.
😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing the good, bad, and ugly! Hugs! 🖖🏻😘🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching.
The atv ride looked fun! Did the atv have “coal” springs?😅
Sure did 😂😂😂
did you say "hang on! like a hair in a biscuit"? 😂 you are special
Yeah! That’s when you hang on real tight 😂
Next time you go to old faithful. Film it in slow motion 👍

TH-cam doesn't pay much so yes all those things are very helpful 😀
I lasted not even 5 min on this trail before I had to take the keys from my dad and head back to the car. I was dizzy and had one of my first migraines. I was 12, and 7 years later, I'd find out I was allergic to Sulfa.
We are all signed up. “Like a hair in a biscuit.”😂
😂😂😂
Hay, it could have worse. In all your travels this is a minor dent.
Nathan: “gas on the left and brake on the right”? What? No wonder why Hensley was worried! 🤪🤪. Liked the RV movie clip. Did you guys get a bunch of spectators? 💩💩
Thankfully it was uneventful 😂
This is why I don't trust backing using the rear camera. I learned to back up by turning my body and looking out the rear window. Haven't backed into anything in 50 years. Safe travels.
I backed my 5th wheel into our house! Expensive!!
Ouch
Fun times☺️❤️🇨🇦
I may have backed our truck over my kayak once……. It still floats almost 20 years later though. 😜
😀😀😀 It's all part of the journey.
@@LessJunkMoreJourney so True! 🤣
Oh no
The good thing about doing a bus tour in Yellowstone is you don't have to find a parking spot.
So true 😂
Whose we? That's what I was always asked when I fubarbed!
❤❤❤
Is that "a hair in a biscuit" or "a hare in a biscuit?" Either way, what in the heck does that even mean? 😂
Haha! Hanging on like a hair in a biscuit is a saying that means you are holding on tight or it’s really on there 😂😂😂. Maybe it’s a southern saying 😂
Turn around and look. This is what happens when you forget the basics. Cameras are for assistance only. Glad it was just the trailer and not a person
Not a crisis. It's just a tailgate. It'll buff out😂.
That will take a huge buffer on that one 😂
While standing inside our RV I watched my husband back into the RV.
Oh no!
👍🏽
I call that Karma
Karma?
Yeah,... When you don't pay the film in a national park you pay for something else..... That is karma
I mean.....oops! Lol.
A "paintless dent repair" gut can probably fix that for a lot less money
Maybe we can find one of those guys.
😅😊😅😊😅
Dust and dirt on a guy is like man makeup.
😂😂😂
How do you guys find these rallies
We were invited to the Lippert Rally. Somewhere we found a website that has a calendar of many RV rallies. I don't have the link but you can Google it.
We’ve been to Yellowstone two times. Really enjoyed that area.
❤❤❤❤
