Your kids are getting a wonderful education. It does my heart good. Y'all are wonderful parents.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Aww thank you so much!

[@amyhenderson812]

JJ climbing was the best! Miss ya buddy! Love viewing the world through his eyes!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Nathan I'm not sure that Marissa isn't from another world because she is out of this world beautiful. But seriously, I must thank my parents for going to a different place every year on vacation. I've continued the tradition. I've been to every state in the union except for Alaska, California and Nevada, and I'm planning on getting to them in the next few years. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug from me.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you.

[@tevbrannan5885]

I've really enjoyed your Idaho videos. Who knew Idaho was so spectacular? When did y'all go? Not many people around so it seems like a good time. Keep em coming.😊

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

@@tevbrannan5885 We went late summer. August/September

[@steveegbert7429]

Idaho is so under rated, yet one of the most diversely beautiful places I have been and a nature photographers paradise. Thousand Springs I was not ready for the first time I stopped by there. I thought it was going to be a quick drive through but ended up spending most of a day there. Craters of the Moon was on my want list but I always bypassed it on my way to Yellowstone. I'm so glad I finally made it a destination and spent the better part of three days there taking it all in and photographing the rugged beauty there. The sun bleached dead trees really added to the otherworldly feeling. I still need to make it to City of Rocks and that area.

[@paulab984]

FABULOUS video! Ya'll have convinced us to go to Idaho. Amazing! You do my heart good with your joyful spirits and your video talent. I'm old enough to be your mom and I'm thrilled to see how your kids are being raised and knowing the faith and values being instilled in them. Marissa, you're always lovely but your eyes looked luminous in this video and you're getting skinnier, girl! Of course, I'm always jealous of Nathan's eyelashes! You all look so healthy. This lifestyle is good for you! I always enjoy your videos and your commentary. Ya'll are fun! And happy birthday, Nathan!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much.

[@dwd3416]

We stayed at the campground at 'Craters of the Moon' and that was great, the wildlife came out at the setting of the sun.

[@carlsanders4680]

Thank You !!!! Me and my BRIDE ( of 35 yrs. ) are planning a road trip out west in a couple of yrs. She said she wanted to go to Idaho. I said why, it's just flat land and a bunch of potato fields. Thanks to you and some other RV full timers I have been watching for about 3 yrs, I have eaten my words. With this last video it reminds me how wrong I was and now Idaho is at the top of the list of places to see out west. Thank you for taking us on your journey around the US to show us all the wonderful places our country has to offer. Love watching your channel and family. Stay safe and enjoy every moment with family, it passes by far to quick. THANK YOU !!!!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

One of the things we have learned in our years of travels is there is something beautiful in every state and we loved to be surprised when we find it. ❤

[@wellsonwheels457]

High desert! Lol… awesome dudes!!!!!

[@cynthiasmith4966]

As always, a fun adventure! Just amazing! HaPpY Birthday, Nathan!

[@pkmagic]

City of Rocks, best memories ❤

[@tinacathey8241]

Priest lake is a beautiful area to stay and visit. Courd e Arlene resort is awesome with restaurants, massages, golfing and the floating restaurant is one of my favorite places to eat.

[@reginaf1706]

So happy you are enjoying our home state! We love Idaho!

[@thehappycampercouple2266]

If you want another out of this world destination, go to White Pocket in Arizona. Near Lake Powell. Pretty neat area!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks!

[@martaleary5598]

My husband and I have Idaho on our bucket list! Since we saw a documentary on ether Netflix or Amazon? And we were Wowed by the whole State! Amazing 🤩! Thank you so much for this video!

[@Ahuka]

White Sands is one of our favorites.

[@jonellesandel1066]

Unusual and stunning landscapes I always come back to Utah and the incredible landscapes. Deadhorse state park is awesome, canyonlands, Bryce is an underrated gem. So amazing! Can’t forget Sedona AZ….stunningly beautiful.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Couldn't agree more!

[@herb7877]

We live in OR. but my wife is from ID. so we have been to most of the places you are showing. I think you'll understand why we have never relocated other than to visit. We were just at the falls yu were showing this summer. Well worth the trip

[@meaganferguson814]

Your family would love Edisto Island, SC, specifically Botany Bay and the Driftwood Beach! We were in awe with our visit over Spring Break 2023.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is a beautiful place.

[@darcyrobb3692]

Your in YT Christine aka Frugal Fit Moms hometown. Loved watching & coming along on the adventure🥰🍁🇨🇦

I'm so excited to watch all of you go to Craters of the Moon, someplace I've been and being able to experiencing it again. I even stayed at the same KOA.

Thanks for taking us on your unique vacations. I love learning about these places.

[@ashleighgreenhaw1920]

Wow! That is amazing!❤❤❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@LDaw_96]

Not far from the Craters of the moon is a museum of the Japanese internment camp. There is a nice visitor center and you can walk around and learn about the thousands of people that lived there during WWIl because we were so afraid. They delete with such unfairness with so much grace. Many of their children were even drafted. It is inspiring. It a great historical stop.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you for the suggestion.

[@coreystatham]

Go see upper and lower Mesa falls in Idaho along with big springs!!!

[@philkraynik4887]

Awesome! Thanks!!

The things you guys are seeing Is awesome. I’m definitely going there when I go visit my aunt in Idaho. 😊

[@slamboy66]

This was a good vid.👍👍👍

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.

[@thesandsie13the2nd]

the paint pots in either Banff National park, Kootanai national park, or Yoho national park ( i don't honestly remember where they are) Canada.

[@northstar68]

Epic; love to learn new things 😊

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@gordonstrickling5971]

You would like City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico north of Deming NM. You can camp right beside or in huge volcanic rocks

[@daleclark8872]

I absolutely love joining you for all your travels! Awesome videos!! 🙏❤️

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks so much for traveling with us!

[@brettelizabethspore]

More encouragement to head to Idaho next year. Thanks!

[@JillRH]

Great video. We lived in idaho our whole life until this summer. Moved to Kansas. Lol sounds crazy. Southern idaho is considered a “high desert” since it’s a desert at higher elevation.

[@debbiecarter4558]

JJ, that is exactly how I climb rocks😊

[@edandsharonmoreland]

Great video with lots of stuff to add to our list. Good to see Corey was wearing his shoes too :)

[@alanpatterson764]

Your videos are the best. You and your family are just so cute and so appreciative of life. Thank you for the videos of the sawtooth area. I went through there not too long ago and I obviously went through there way too fast because I didn't see any of these things. Your videos teach me to slow down. You guys are great!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for yet another amazing opportunity to see incredible scenery. Always look forward to your videos. And, I lava your family 😉

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you very much!

[@karensolberg1741]

Craters of the Moon is one of my favorite National Monuments. If you get to Flagstaff, Arizona, I recommend Walnut Canyon National Monument to see the Cliff Dwellings built between 1123-1250. Wukoki is also nearby with more ruins of ancient peoples. And there are more of those lava fields like you are seeing in Idaho.

[@debbiedriesel9109]

I'm so glad you got to experience some fun things Idaho has to offer. Between the Perine Bridge adventures of a previous video and then Craters so much fun. I wondered if you made it to the Sturgeon farm near Buhl? I'm sure the kids would have loved to see those huge fish. So glad you got to experience my home state!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tips!

I see I will be going to Idaho in the near future. This was a great video.

[@susanpratt3290]

Nathan, I have been in a lot of states, as we moved from time to time when my dad was in the Air Force. I went to College at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, and joined the Campus Christian Fellowship, we took many trips, one of them was to Craters of the Moon. That was awesome. We also went to Jackson Hole, rode the river raft on the Snake River, Timpanogas Cave, Provo Utah, Canyanlands, Newspaper Rock, other parts of Idaho north of Bear Lake.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

What great memories 😍

[@jackiemurphy7652]

I was going through Idaho when you guys were. wish I could of met you guys. Had to take my great grandaughter back to Nebraska, now on my way back to Washington state.. love watching you guys.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much.

[@c.alcazar2584]

Wow that is so beautiful, Im surprise how the kids sre changing, JJ is doing so good at walking everywhere and your daughter well she is climbing and walking since she was little, I know you been to New Mexico but we have a place tgat is called Bisti Badlands, is beautiful and out of this world, ...we also have Carlsbad caverns, White Sands those are few places to stsr... Well have fun and be safe....

[@jasonsites8742]

We were at Craters of the Moon last month. Really cool place and the campground that was there is going to be a stop for us next time through. I imagine they get some spectacular night sky’s in that park!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Great sky!

[@jaimemanning9623]

Loved the video!! We went to Craters of the Moon a few years ago, and experienced it while there was smoke in the air from wildfires. That made the experience even more cool!! There weren’t very many people there, and the feeling you got with the smell of smoke & haze, made for a pretty cool experience!

[@ejs6010]

Great fun sharing your b-day with FOS! Happy Birthday Nathan. Your Idaho videos have been great. You are finding gems of various places.

[@firsttimecaller]

Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park jointly have some of the most otherworldly sites I've ever encountered. It's a wildly underrated region. Meteor Crater is also a big hit with kids. The entire route from Flagstaff to Albuquerque offers a ton of attractions that allow you to get off the beaten path for stunning landscapes.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Great suggestions.

[@sherriweber7105]

Happy Birthday Nathan! 🎉🎈🎂 What a nice beautiful place to visit and take the kids so they can learn and experience it and enjoy the journey. It’s good to see parents like you both doing this for their family. Great video! Everything was beautiful! Have a great birthday! 🎁 And great week!

Hopefully you make it to Idaho Falls, it's got some great views on the waterfront are and a beautiful Japanese gardens in the same area overlooking the falls and river. I spent a week in the area and really liked it.

[@andrewfidel2220]

That entry into city of rocks reminded me SO much of Bryce that my brain just screamed that it's a grey version of it. How is this not better known?!? Thank you SO much for sharing, even though we've already crossed Idaho off our states visited bucket list we obviously didn't even scratch the surface and definitely need to go back!

[@loragunning5394]

If you ever find yourself traveling thru north-central Illinois, take the time to visit The Allerton Estate. It's not really "otherworldly", but is a bit of a step back in time. After having been abandoned for quite some time, it's now under either state or private ownership (I forget which), open to the public on a limited basis. You'd have to do a search to find info on it, which I have done a number of times, but always late at night after a couple of adult beverages, so my memory of my search results is a bit foggy, apologies. I lived in the area briefly in 1973, when it was still abandoned, and my boyfriend (an Illinois native) took me there one afternoon. The memories of that day are with me still, over 50 years later. Highly recommend.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Very cool

[@jessicataylor9737]

Carlsbad Caverns gives you the feeling of being on a different planet.

[@phyllissmith1105]

A couple of places that look like another world to me are Antelope Canyon and Meteor Crater in Arizona; Devil's Postpile and walking inside an Earthquake Fault in Mammoth Lakes California; and Goosenecks State Park in Utah.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you for the tips.

[@esthers5772]

This is a great video. I love underrated or little known places. It certainly doesn’t look crowded. What time of year were you there and how many days are recommend to see all the places you visited?
