(bass notes)
- Good morning, clan.
Welcome to Friday.
Today's the day we're loading up the trailer
for our first big camping trip of the 2017 season.
And I say camping, because, you know,
it's up north in the woods.
You know, camping with air quotes kinda thing.
I just hooked up the trailer to the truck, easy-peasy.
It's super nice to be able to just back it in
where it's been sitting for the last two months or whatever.
And Tiffany's getting the last of the bit
of our clothes and food inside the trailer,
so we're about this close to leaving.
We're about this close.
So quick update on the dirt bikes,
neither one of the kids said they wanted to bring theirs.
They have no desire to ride.
They have nobody to ride with.
Mormon Lake doesn't really have any cool trails to ride on.
They're just like Jeep trails.
And Bryce has crashed multiple times there.
So he's kind of like, "Nah, I'm good, thanks."
I was gonna bring my bike,
but again, I have no one to ride with,
'cause the Swags are not coming.
Jason has a RZR,
which means he can go places that I can't.
I can go places that he can't.
And it's just not the same.
It's just not as fun.
And really the bike has some things that I forgot to fix.
So I don't know, I'm just not bringin' it.
I know a lot of you guys have been asking like daily
in the comments section when are we going riding again?
When are you going dirt bike riding again?
Go get on the dirt bikes, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I was gonna say yeah, this weekend,
but, like I said, it just, meh, meh.
I don't have anyone to ride with.
I'm a social guy.
I need someone to be like, "Yo, let's go dirt bike riding."
- [Tiffany] Swags aren't coming.
- Swags aren't coming.
Like, I was thinking sweet, Tanner and Mike,
we're gonna go riding but last minute change of plans.
They can't come.
So I'm gonna bring the drone.
I'm gonna fly the drone with this on the RZR.
So I'm gonna get some sick shots
like chasing the RZR, go behind the RZR.
I'm gonna try to do all kinds of cool stuff with the drone.
So look forward to that.
But when we get back next week, I am itching to ride.
I was looking forward to riding this weekend.
It's just, like I said, it's not the same.
Mormon Lakes' trails aren't really trails.
They're Jeep roads.
They're just not as fun.
And no one to ride with, no one to chase, it's like meh.
I am gonna, when we come back next week,
I promise you, promise, promise you one dirt bike ride
out here, by where we live, out in the desert.
I promise you.
We'll get up butt crack of dawn, early, five in the morning,
and we'll go for a ride, all right,
just me and you, just me and you, I promise.
The trailer's all hooked up, ready to rock and roll.
We're gonna get this show on the road.
(upbeat music)
- That's what I made.
- [Tiffany] What'd you girls do?
- Arts and crafts.
- [Tiffany] Made a little bowl?
- Uh-huh.
- [Tiffany] Your hair's a little crazy, by the way.
So you painted it?
It's like a Halloween bowl.
- Yeah.
- [Tiffany] It's cute.
- It's kind of like a tiger, like a tiger bowl.
- [Tiffany] oh.
- But the inside's purple.
It's Halloween paint. - Where's Kiera's?
- [Kiera] I made that.
- [Tiffany] What?
- [Kiera] Those.
- [Tiffany] So you made all those, too.
- And Bryce made this.
- [Tiffany] Aw.
- It's like the carrot baby food, though, the color.
- [Woman] Is it good, Bryce?
- [Tiffany] Sierra, what you got going on?
- We're making cornbread.
- [Tiffany] Cornbread for our chili.
- [Bryce] Yeah, it's orange.
You're already slacking off.
- [Tiffany] Don't make a mess.
- Race is like trying to eat it when it's not even mixed.
- [Tiffany] Ooh yeah, it's not cake.
It's yucky, huh?
I know you.
Move!
Hey!
- [Sierra] You should go up there.
- And here we are, guys, Mormon Lake.
We got the trailer all hooked up, settled in.
Everything's unpacked and put in its place.
We got the grill.
We got the stove.
We got the kitchen all set up, our beds.
Meemaw and Papa's new trailer,
their brand new, awesome trailer.
They've had their last trailer
for, gosh, 20 years, 19 years,
but pretty much as long as Tiff and I have been together.
They just got a brand new fifth wheel,
and Mike is super proud of it, super excited about it.
The Wolfs are just one spot over from us.
So we're real excited.
We're excited for the camping this weekend.
You guys who've been with us for the last couple of years,
you know we've been doing Mormon Lake
for the last two years.
This is a great place.
And the Bevos just arrived.
So Chrissy's here with her new blonde hair.
She's looking good, she's looking good.
And there's Baby.
She's super bummed, 'cause she has
to stay inside the trailer.
There's a lot of other doggies.
She likes to bark.
Sorry, Baby.
It is what it is.
And Tiffany's making cornbread.
- They already know that.
- [Clintus] All right, then.
- I've been testing the cornbread.
- [Clintus] She's testing the cornbread.
Kid's have already taken off looking for the park.
If you guys remember, was it last years or two years ago?
They have a petting zoo here.
And they ran down to go to the petting zoo
to check out the animals.
Ooh, and Wolf got a new truck.
Look at this, a brand-new Ford Super Duty, what, what?
Nice, fancy.
This is where the party's at, right here.
What's up?
Playing caps, we're playing caps!
Oh!
Heading over to the park, check on the kids,
see how they're doing.
It's like 60 degrees right now,
and I'm wearing shorts and flip-flops.
I'm freezing my butt off (laughs).
I'm actually freezing my butt off.
It's 110 back at home,
and I'm freezing my butt off over here in the 60s.
I'm like shivering.
My feet, legs are frozen, like OMG.
(kids yelling)
We got some baseball players.
We got Bevo, little Bevo with a bloody nose.
- What?
- [Clintus] A bloody nose?
- No.
- [Clintus] You got boogers coming out of your nose.
They're black.
Nice shirt, Sierra.
- Thank you. - [Clintus] I like it.
Where'd you get that?
- Tati gave it to me.
- [Clintus] Tatiana gave that to you.
Where's Bryce?
Oh, he's climbing like a monkey.
Oh my goodness, look at the pony,
Look at the little baby pony.
(Clintus laughs)
It looks so silly compared to the big ones.
Look at him.
So funny.
Oh look at that.
What is that?
Is it a guinea pig?
(kids chattering)
- [Boy] Look at that giant pig!
- You know, we don't use our trailer very often, you guys,
but when we do, it's a treat.
It really is.
It's our home away from home.
I kind of wish we did use it more often
but you know, busy schedules, busy life
with the kids' sports and whatnot,
and of course, summer break is only 10 weeks.
It's like 10 weeks.
Like, when I was a kid, we had three months,
three solid months of summer break.
And now, it's 10 weeks,
because they get, like, a three-day weekend here,
a four-day weekend here, and it's like,
it's so hard to do that,
'cause usually, three-day weekends are a holiday,
and the kids have like a sports tournament
or something like that.
So it's just, like, it's hard.
It's hard to get away
and actually use it on a regular basis.
All right, so this is Meemaw and Papa's new trailer,
all new and fancy, a lot of room, slide-outs, both sides.
Right, is that a slide-out over there?
- [Papa] Yes, it is.
- [Clintus] Yeah, okay.
So dining room table, two chairs for the TV,
couch that pulls out to a bed,
electric fireplace like ours, which is nice,
lots of places to plug your phones in and charge your stuff.
It's really, really nice.
Nice big kitchen for Meemaw and Papa,
an island, lots of storage for Meemaw, it's a plus.
They actually have a fan.
It's really fancy.
Coffee, wine, beverages,
nice big fridge,
Go up two steps here to the bathroom,
and then their bedroom, which is really nice and big.
There's a closet, more places to plug your phone in.
Bed's over there.
All right, it's dinnertime.
Tiffany's got her chili.
She made the white chili, all the good stuff.
Meemaw made traditional chili with the meat and beans.
Of course, Tiffany's cornbread muffins.
Nothing spicy, though, right?
You didn't put any chillis or anything in them?
- [Papa] No.
- [Clintus] Bummer.
What's up?
Say hi!
- Hi.
- [Clintus] Hi!
All the kids are in the Wolf's trailer hanging out.
Sierra's babysitting.
Watching the show, what is this, Trolls?
- [Sierra] Yeah, I think so.
- Ooh, watching Trolls.
Got a little troll right here.
(country music)
So it's about midnight.
It's 50 degrees outside, super quiet.
I mean, there's, you know, generators going.
Obviously, you can hear the band playing in the saloon.
But like a billion stars out, it's pretty awesome.
I love being out here, up in the mountains and the woods.
This is a really cool place.
This is like our third year coming here,
and we like it, we like it.
There's a good variety of people here.
We just wish we had a RZR.
Honestly, trip's like this make us wish we had a RZR.
But I don't have anything to tow a RZR.
I can't put a RZR in the back of my truck,
and I can't put a RZR in my trailer,
and I can't tow a trailer behind my trailer.
So it's like ugh, no reason to get a RZR
when I can't bring it, you know.
The kids are all still awake.
- [Kids] Yeah.
- Even Race.
- [Clintus] I think it's bedtime, yo.
- No, no, not even close. - It's 11:30.
- I fell asleep earlier.
- [Girl] Mm, delicious!
(gentle music)
What greedy babies.
- Now click on this one.
- All right, guys, it's late.
We're finally back in the trailer.
We're going to bed.
Thank you so much for watching.
Thumbs up if you liked it,
"i" in the sky for more videos, links down below.
We'll see you tomorrow for another day here at Mormon Lake.
Vlog on.
- Hey, Clintus, I'm the Noah from Alaska, vlog on.
