We needed to get water and dump so we drove due south on Sunday to Challis ID where we spent one night then drove south east toward Idaho Falls. We kept going around the southern end of the Teton Mountains and spent one night at a National Forest campground along the Snake River between Alpine and Hoback Junction. Again we found we were camped next to the busy, noisy road and had no good access to the river. We did find a spot to watch rafters as they surfed over some class 2-3 rapids. As close as we were to Jackson, WY and one of our favorite campgrounds, the Gros Ventre in Teton National Park, we decide we might as well camp there as anywhere else.
As we drove up to the entrance about lunch time and a big sign said “Campground Full”! Not one to be deterred by a sign, John and I drove on in. While I sat in line, John drove the RV to the Amphitheater parking lot to wait on me. The host said it was truly full and to come back early, early the next morning. So I asked if we could stay in the parking lot and was told it would be okay for one night. We gladly set up camp there and then got our bikes out to explore the campground. What we found was an empty electric site that we would fit in. John made a beeline to the office and we snagged us a really nice spot.
