- ⭐️ About this Episode:
Is this the BEST Boondocking Spot in the entire USA 🇺🇸? When we think of Free Camping ⛺️ locations this one near the Grand Teton National Park can’t be beat in Our Opinion! Mainly because of the views of the Grand Tetons & Snake River valley! While we do think this is the #1 spot to Boondock, it’s NOT PERFECT! The access up to it is rough and a one lane road for RVs! So if you have a “TOAD” I would detach it and send up your spouse to make sure no one is coming down as your going up! Just take it slow and easy going up and coming down! Our 36’ Class A did fine other than a bump we hit opened our frig and cabinets spilling things on the floor!
Also depending on when you go it could be very crowded! People are constantly coming and going and getting a PRIME location view of the mountains is really a luck of the draw! The camping limit is 5 days due to high traffic but we would suggest to get there during the mid week to increase the probability of getting a great spot! But every site has a Mountain View, some might just be looking over other RVers to see it. And if your looking for privacy then this is not it! However if your looking to meet some amazing people and embrace the RV community then you’ll LOVE all the new faces you’ll meet there! We met some great new friends here and lots of other RV families for our kids to play with! BUT as you know from the video that Grady was attacked by a neighbors dog, so just be careful at any camping spot where people have dogs. Our situation could have been way worse but thankfully it wasn’t!

Our 4 kids have fond memories of our vacations out west with tents,minivans, and side road meals. They got to see many National Parks including Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Grand Canyon! We're very fortunate to have been able to travel when they were young like you are with your beautiful family!
TY for being so understanding about the dog. Running children are often a trigger for dogs. Glad he's OK.
Tip for the mice. I live in an old farm house, the ones the electrocute them are by far the best. Just put a dab of peanut butter for bait inside. It's a very quick death and all you have to do is open the lid and toss the mouse, shut the lid and turn it back on. Bait usually doesn't get touched they are zapped before they get to it.
Wow.. I’ll have to check it out!! The glue traps did work!! Stay tuned for the next video 😬 🐁
@@LoftisPartyofSix Not sure why local stores only seem to carry death traps and glue traps? Why kill them? They are just trying to enjoy/live life like you are. Get some of the small plastic live traps off of Amazon. They work really well and once you catch them, you can take them down the road and turn them loose. Your karma and soul will thank you for it.
Great job on the teaching moment; everyone needs to learn how to approach dogs and understand they can be very protective.
The Rat Zapper, works really well, uses D batteries.
Scenery is so beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes when you guys told your story! God is good!❤️
Thank you 😊 & yes he is!!
We love watching you don't get upset no worries accunamatta you know if I can beat cancer like I just did you can keep on going right awesome blessed family relax enjoy your trip
Thank you 😊
Breathtaking views! 😮😍
I’m glad Grady was only scratched by the dog! I’m also glad that it didn’t turn into a huge deal.
Excellent teaching moment as you said 👍
Thank you 😊
You are definitely in Wyoming. I grew up and lived in WY until I was nearly 40. You get used to the wind to a degree but once away from it for several years, you notice it more when you go back. WY is always my home, though. My roots run very deep. I was raised on a ranch. It was the best upbringing I could have ever dreamed of.
I think it's amazing the kids will have this experience and memories
... definitely a boondocking spot to be envious of... beautiful scenery.. wishing y'all safe AND adventurous travels... thanks as always for sharing your journey-☮️
Thank you 😊
Glad Grady is ok. That sure is a beautiful spot! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Michelle
The next morning shots are STUNNING! ♥️
Thank you 😊
We had a mouse nest in our generator. It was amazing the trinkets it had used to build it.
Beautiful place! Love your hiking boots, Laine. And yes...my mother taught me many years ago, you do get what you pay for! Hope Grady feels better. He seemed very brave. Can't wait to see where you are next! Safe travels!
Thank you 😊
great video. thanks for showing the windy "bloopers".
Thanks
My dog weights 4lb and a lady leant over me and got bit, she didn’t take it well at all. I couldn’t believe my dog bit someone and was in tears and soo upset she was mad as hell at me. Thank you for being so understanding with the dog owner and I’m glad Grady was not hurt great teaching by yourself. 😁😁😁
Thank you 😊
That was very adult of you for not over reacting to the Dog Bite. It showed your children how adults should act in a bad situations. Thank you for teaching your children such very important life skills. That they will carry with them through their lives. God bless you and your family and safe travels.
Thank you 😊
Love this!!! Have a spot in hawaii I feel the same about, made it back 20 years later to Thank God for all he done since that first prayer where I felt an alone....we all need these moments
Thanks for watching
Love your boots! I myself only own 3pairs of shoes. However as I grow older, I am realizing that having different pairs for different occasions can be useful. I love your beautiful family!!!!!
Thank you 😊
Y'all are awesome! So jealous! Stay safe and keep em' comin'. Can't hardly wait for the next. Every video is like being on vacation.
Thank you so much 😊
Wow I’m so motivated to go here !! Omg wow
Whoop whoop 👽 time to watch! 😁. Hope all is graceful guys!!! 🖤
Thank you 😊
We had the frig & cabinet thing happen a lot on our RV and we installed a sway bar & a track bar. The helped us tremendously however yours might already have them. I know some coaches do. Thanks for sharing your life with us, may God continue to bless you.
I’m not sure ours has that but if not I’m planning on getting one. Thank you
There is a great boondocking place near Red Feather Lakes Colorado. drive to Red Feather Lakes Village, then go past the store and Hardware store, about 5 or 6 miles, road turns from pavement to gravel. few miles later you are in national forest with spots all over for camping. We found it by accident last Sept. 30 2018. when the camp ground we had plan on staying was full. Had to find a place for the night. It was the best spot we have ever been. No one around, other than a few cars that went by. It was just majestic. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I have 5 more years before my youngest daughter graduates high school. Then it will be month long trips. Can't stay away too long from my Grandchildren.
That sounds like a great spot!! Thanks
So cool that you guys stayed calm and understanding. Love the spot!
Thank you 😊
Great video. Way to be tough Grady. Dogs can be unpredictable for sure. I spent 10 days in Jackson over thanksgiving a few years ago, can honestly say one of the most beautiful places on earth. Can’t wait to go back with my two girls. Safe travels and God bless y’all.
It’s an amazing place for sure!! Thanks Doug!
Born and raised in Wyoming here. The wind is unavoidable. 🏔🙌 Still a great video!
Thank you 😊
Ur family is the best💕👍🏻
Thank you 😊
Nice boots! Definitely a necessity... Glad you understand about the dog and your son is fine.. Very scary though.
Thank you 😊.. and yes the dog attack is just one of those things that can happen. He is fine. Thank you
FYI Hydrogen Proxide on the dog bite is better then alcohol, it doesn't sting when applied on the bite. Heals faster too, if he runs a fever go to doctor asap. But remember to keep clean. HOPE this helps. Love you guys!
I agree. Hydrogen peroxide, let it dry, then apply a thin layer of Neosporin (triple antibiotic) Keep that wound clean.
Thank you Ladies for the recommendation.
Great video guys. Amazing family...Your family is why I keep you tube.
Thank you 😊
No audio at the lake was perfect. You could read the word blessed from that mommas face.
Let her have her one tub of shoes. Lol!! If they don't fit, then one will have to go...
Thank you 😊... and yes all her shoes are staying 😆
No joke, I bought those same hiking boots for my wife a little over a month ago. She absolutely loves them! 😁
That is a bummer about the dog bite, he took it like a champ.
Thank you guys so much for sharing such amazing places with all of us.
Thanks for watching
@@LoftisPartyofSix do your kids like the hiking sandals?
I was always guided towards hiking boots, or well built tennis shoes. 🙂
The Keens we have are great and the kids love them.
@@LoftisPartyofSix okay, that is awesome. 🙂 I have been wearing keen boots for quite a few years, and have always been happy with them.
Thanks again, we all are looking forward to your next video. 😁
Y’all are so blessed! Cute couple awesome family! Beautiful there too! All women need their shoes! I hope Grady is ok. Nothing worse than a dog bite. Scary too. I got bit when I was a kid never forgotten it. Lots of campers there .Keep on enjoying your travels. That’s so true. I had to get a shot that was the worse part. Laine I can’t stand those little suckers. Safe travels! Grady I hope you will be ok! 💙🐶💙💙🐀🙀oops!
Thank you 😊
You can’t go wrong with keens!
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Laine your hiking boots look great they are the ones I wanted but they didn't have that colour in my size, so I had to get the blue/grey ones, they are still nice and look pretty feminine and I got them in a sale for £26!! Hope Grady is okay and that was a lovely memory you had and photos too xx
Thank you 😊
Saw your review on campendium and are headed here in a few days!! Thanks for sharing! Our family has been living in our RV since May. Cant wait to follow along your journey! ❤ God bless your sweet family!!
You’ll love it!! Thanks for watching!!
Michael, you are so understanding. I am glad Grady is okay. By the way that is a beautiful place!! Laine is funny...
Thank you and yes Laine says the funniest things 😆
That dirt road is something else! I stayed there early In July
Yep it sure was!! Thanks for watching
I so love watching your sweet family and your adventures !!!!
Thank you 😊
What a beautiful boondocking spot. Love you guys. ❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
What a stunning view!
Thanks for watching!!
We never boondocked but watching you guys is getting me thinking. We pay 350 bucks for 10 day stays all the time. Very expensive the way to camp. You guys are figuring out the economics and cost effective RVing. Enjoy Glacier!!!
We love boondocking.. saves us a bunch!! Just give it a shot for a week and see how it goes!!
Y'all are really making me hate my desk job! The scenery is so beautiful! "For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain..."
🎶 America the Beautiful!!! Thanks for watching
That is a beautiful answer from god...god bless you all..sage travels nancy
Thank you 😊
Electronic Pest Repellers.....we use them inside the motorhome and outside to keep all the critters away from the Coach and the engine components.
Great idea! Thank you
Michael and Laine,
It was a blessing and pleasure to meet you at that amazing campsite (silver and blue coach to the left of you)! Unfortunately we had to leave soon after y'all came in. You have a beautiful family and I'm glad you enjoyed your time well and that your boy is ok. Your footage of the sunsets and sunrises is great and makes me want to go back again in. Remember, I told you it would be real hard to leave. :-)
Oh, and the road, well, you literally have to go at turtle pace on that road, when your driving the coach.
Blessed and Safe Travels to all of you!
Hi John!! Yep we remember ya!! Thanks for being so helpful to us the short time we was next to you! Hopefully you and your family are doing well and having safe travels! Hope to run into you again someday!
@@LoftisPartyofSix , thanks, we are well and back at home base, even though the road got very bumpy (and expensive) for us about a week after we saw you. That said, we are very blessed and it was still worth it. I've not forgotten, I sill have to email you that article on mice/critters in RVs, so when I get caught up a bit, I will send you that article and the solar info, and tell you about the challenging adventures we had. :-)
And, yes, we sure hope to run into you again in the future. If you are ever in the northeast be sure to give us a shout, you have a place to stay and explore our area.
LMAO 😂 LOVE LOVE LOVE your bit about shoes!
😆👍 thank you 😊
There is another great Boondocking spot right on the Snake River as you head out of the Flagg Ranch Info Center. ( Cross the Bridge and Take the second Turn in, It's beautiful there, we found it by accident. :)
Awesome!! Thanks
Y'all are such a beautiful family, can't wait to see you at Yellowstone
Thank you 😊
Gary Hawthorne
try dryer sheets, I have not had any mice in over 13 years using them. use in any small spaces like under sink and in storage areas.
Thank you!
So sweet a love story! :-) I am so happy for you guys! God bless you and your sweet family! Amazing family! I would be in heaven to find a guy like you! You all make me happy! :-)
Thank you Libby!!
I would love to live like you guys do...…..Heck I would love to camp. Keep the videos coming!!!!!!
Thank you 😊
Get your self some baby magnet for the doors for when your moving. They will keep your doors closed and when done moving just use the magnet clip to unlock it and flip the switch to keep them unlocked. There a life saver. For the fridge use a small hook on the wall and a small bungie ball that will slip in between both top and bottom slot and hold them close.
Thank you 😊
I just wanted to say that I always enjoy your videos!!!
I do believe that if you buy one thing you get rid of one thing. Now my husband has a hard time getting rid of ANYTHING so I get rid of it FOR him!!!! LOL
Hoping Grady is healing quickly and I sure hope the dog's owners didn't punish their dog in any way. He was probably frightened and was protecting his humans.
The mouse trap without the poison is always best to use even if you don't have kids or a pet.
Speaking of dogs I didn't realize you had a dog! That's great!!! I'd love to see your furbaby sometime!
😆 thanks!!
@@LoftisPartyofSix You're Welcome! I kept editing my reply in case you didn't see all of it!!! LOL
Thank you! I just reread it. No I don’t believe they would have punished their dog. And yes we have a dog. He has been on the family farm while we’ve been traveling.
@@LoftisPartyofSix AWESOME!!!
Hello y'all! I love this video. I didn't mind the wind. To answer the question ya had for the ladies, I like to have lots of tshirts and hats! Jeans and shorts go with everything. I only have one pair of cowgirl boots, lots of flip flops 'cuz Texas!, and a pair of skechers women's on the go sport sandal. Yes, we do the get one give one type deal. Happy travels!
Thank you 😊
Love the view an I can hear you God bless your travels
Thank you 😊
I have sweaters. But I love my shoes. I would have a hard time getting rid of shoes. Sounds like each pair of yours has a reason to be. Lol My mom always said. "You get what you pay for." Great video. love you guys. I'm so excited to get out there next year.
Thank you 😊
That is a gorgeous boondocking site.
Thank you 😊
awesome video. we are weekend warriors with our 5th on the way. you guys are inspiring. gonna try for California next year 😊
Thank you 😊
Stunning location! Look into child safety locks for your fridge. That should help!
Thank you 😊
Oh this made me homesick 😢.
Would love to see a video from you guys with your tips for boondocking if you haven’t made one already!
Absolutely!! It’s in the works!!
Ok why it is important to have good boots, I shoot archery outdoors 3 times a week and it involves a lot of hiking up and down hills. I use to wear tennis shoes until i got bone spurs and I slipped a lot and one day I came very close when I slipped and having a quiver full of arrows they almost went in my back i said enough i went and got some Keen boots and bone spurs went away and no more slipping and now I keep three pairs of Keens around and I like Keen because I need a wide boot and Keen works.
That’s good info! Thanks
You should make a day in the life video, would be so interesting to watch!
Thank you 😊!
Thank you for the update. Beautiful area! I put it on our list of places to visit. Do you have a residential refrigerator or an RV refrigerator that keeps opening?
Keep an eye out on Grady's dog bite. Watch for signs of infection, swelling, pain, pus etc. Hopefully he won't need any antibiotics. And make sure he is up to date on tetanus. God Bless you guys!
It’s a residential frig. And yes his dog bite is all healed now. Thank you 😊
Beautiful spot!
Thanks
I'm going to use your link for dog food. I like Amazon's brand cause I'm poor. I'm so glad she said she realizes how small she was in this big world.
Thank you 😊
@@LoftisPartyofSix I'm not sure if you have to add the brand to your link
It's nature's recipe
We picked up mice in North Cascades NP. Found the mice got in our motorhome by way of the battery bay under our steps. Total pain to get rid of.
Can’t stand those critters 🐭
I hope the dog is up to date on his rabies shots. Also...if you put peanut butter, cheese or whatever out on a trap you will be inviting the mice to seek out the food. The best thing I have ever used was invented by a truck driver and after my camper has sit for a year I can say the stuff works!! It's on Amazon and it's called, Rodent Repellent by Fresh Cab. I bought 4 scented pouches then I purchased a bottle of the active ingredient in the pouches which is Balsam Fir oil and I drop some of that oil on the pouches to keep the pouches working. Happy trails and safe travels.
Thank you 😊
Michael - let go and breath.
Lapel-mic.
Alcohol and antiseptic immediately, not when Grady’s ready.
Love you guys!
😆😬 thanks
Thanks for replying.
Many TH-camrs don’t.
Thanks for noticing. We make it a point to always reply! Connecting with people is what it’s all about for us! Thanks again
Going to come out to Oregon? Look up Fort Rock, Hole in the Ground, Ice Caves and Cowboy Dinner Tree.
Yes hopefully next year we will get on the West Coast. Thanks
Get you a wind sock for you phone or camera they are wonderful.
Yep I’m definitely getting one!! Thanks
Scarves , I have a scarf if every colour to go with my clothes 😂 shoes I only own about 4/5 pair 🤷♀️ love watching you from Australia , we are currently doing a 40 ft bus to travel Australia with our 7 children again and can’t wait to be on the road permenantly
Thank you 😊!! We would love to come to Australia 🇦🇺 someday!
I'm afraid you can try to do like a child poop locks on it the whole together I just keep it from flying open and I know there's another RV who is a TH-camr they use the like a rod that you use recovers or put in the refrigerator shelves it sends out and bring it to the the refrigerator to the table it stretches it out you can try to use that so the refrigerator doesn't pop open anymore
Wow that camp is amazing! What is free camping like in the USA? We do lots of free camping in Australia with our caravan and going to the USA one day would be a dream come true!
It’s usually limited to 14 days on how long you can stay and on government land. No amenities at all but it’s free so we can’t complain! Thanks for watching!
I got these to keep the critters out of my RV put them in the sun and at night under my truck and RV when a critter comes around light comes on and scars then away also if you have chipmunks around if you leave the hood open they don't like it because its not dark and cozy I learn that near Bridgeport CA this guy told me because they chewed his wires his last trip. Oh Ajax powder works around tires and things they can climb up.

Good to know.. thanks
i Like the video nice job for 2019 keep up the good work :-)
Thank you 😊
We must have just missed you! We are at Lower Teton View right now. We’ve been toying with the idea of trying Upper but haven’t made the leap yet. Maybe you know, but the limit after Labor Day is 16 days. 😉 Seems like we are on the same path - we’re headed to Yellowstone next too. Maybe we’ll see you there! Safe travels!
We was there a few weeks ago. Our vlogs are a little behind real time. I didn’t know they changed the length of staying after Labor Day!! Thanks
Well, then we are behind you just far enough to hear all your tips. 😊 Excited to hear about what you loved at Yellowstone. Our kids have never been and are so excited. Hope to run into you sometime, I think our kids would have a blast playing!
Yes hopefully we will have some tips for ya at Yellowstone 😉!! Y’all will love it! Hope to see y’all on the road someday too!
Awesome Video 👏
Thanks
I have SO MANY pairs of pants shoved in my tiny little RV nightstand but i can’t help it!! I try to get rid of something when i buy something but i struggle 😂
😆 the struggle is real
SHOES!!!!!!! I have the most shoes LOL
😆👍 👞 👟 👠
I understand about But did the dog have a shots and they have papers I’m glad everyone is OK love your channel and thank you for taking me along with you
Thank you 😊
Cut up some "Irish Spring" original bars of soap and place it around the crevices and storage areas. Mice HATE it.
Really??!! That’s good to know!! Thanks
Go try them on at the store but order on line. You will get a much better price.
Thank you 😊
Gorgeous spot!! We would really like to know exactly where that is, we sold our home and now full time RVers and getting ready to head out cross country soon. Great video, new subscriber here. Save travels.
The link to the location is in the video description. Or look it up on Campendium.. it’s called Upper Teton View. Thanks
Got it, Thank you.
No problem.. have a great weekend
There’s an unwritten rule among campers. Stay away from other people’s campsite unless you’re invited. I’m betting the dog was just invoicing the rule.
We boondocked in this exact spot but we had a tent No Rv lol : )
Yep we had several tent campers there too!
I have a question! What do you guys do for secular work to support yourselves while traveling?
We are work for a company called Plexus! They make all natural supplements and Laine started taking them 3 years ago after seeing a friends results and then it birthed into a business. We help others find a healthier lifestyle and grow a business out of it. Thanks for watching!
Loftis Party of Six - weROAM that’s awesome! One thing that I definitely have on my mind trying to make a realistic plan to live on the road!
I need some advice, i used regular toilet paper in our camp. So the paper has clogged our tank. I have used different plumbing products thats RV safe. Husband has even used pressure water hose in the tank from where the sewer line
Sorry I don’t have a remedy for ya. My brother in law had that happen and he had to hire a guy to remove the tank and clean it out. Hope y’all can get it fixed quickly.
Fill the tank 2/3 with water and drive around the sloshing may loosen things up. We just use regular household toilet paper in our tank and a lot of water and never had a clogging problem. A shop vacuum also works great for unclogging plumbing.
Where is the camp spot, thanks.
In the description is a link
@@LoftisPartyofSix Rad, Thank you much.
Definitely shoes
You need to make sure you check them constantly. The mouse/rat will eat whatever part of them that is stuck on it
😬👍 ok thanks
What do your kids like the most about full time rving?
All of us being together as a family.
Lots of beautiful boondocking spots across the Western US and Canada. This spot was a bit disgusting when we were there last year due to the abundance of toilet paper and other human waste on every foot trail we tried to walk near that campsite.
That’s probably true.. I did see several people go down into the woods for that reason. We never ventured down the trails and did our exploring elsewhere.
I just spent 5 days at Shadow Mountain. Rough road. Not recommended for large RVs but all the comments said it had the most amazing views of the Grand Teton so I took a risk and drove up the mountain on my 22’ rv. It was an unobstructed/amazing view! How do you get to upload your vids? I’m struggling with the connection and the weboost has been of no help. Thank you!
Yes I heard Shadow Mountain was a great spot too! Glad you was able to get up there in your RV. So we Verizon and I use our hotspot to upload videos but it don’t always work. So then I find a McDonalds or Starbucks and use their WiFi. Thanks for watching
How was the cell signal at that spot?
Spotty
What lake are you guys at in the beginning of the video? I want to visit :)
That is called Jackson Lake. Thanks for watching
@@LoftisPartyofSix Thanks so much! Luv watching your family :)
Obviously, I know y’all can’t do this, but do you think you could go full time in a vehicle and tent?
It might be fun for a limited time but it’s not in our near future!
Question . Where does Lane shop ? She always looks so awesome. I am a mom of 2 and I live in yoga pants and loose shirts. I would love to look somewhat put together lol.
It varies.. but recently she has been shopping at TJ Maxx and she has also bought a lot of stuff from Amazon.
Awesome. Thank you. Looks like I am going shopping lol.
Place bar of Irish Spring Soap in the Basement. Mice and Rat do not like the smell
Thank you
