Where We Are Now
We landed this afternoon at Ely KOA Journey, pretty much right in the middle of Nevada, elevation, 6500 ft. This is just a stop-over for a night, but it really is a nice campground. We plan to drive around this after and check out the town.

Where to Next
From here we're heading north to Idaho. Our first stop is a place called Anderson Camp. We plan to spend a couple of days there so we can check out Shoshone Falls and what's left of Twin Falls

As always we take some time on the day we arrive to walk the resort. Along the way, we did notice a good number of grasshoppers, but they seemed to be in only one small section of the park. As I walked up to take a photo of a site with its own dock, the couple at the site next door said hi. Ten minutes later, we were all drinking margaritas and talking like we've known each other for years. (this is my favorite part of full-time RV'ing) Meeting great people just makes the park! During our chat, Jackie and I got acquainted with no-see-ums. (who knew there would be bugs in Florida?)
We picked the wrong time of year to visit Crystal River because the manatees come up the river to its 72-degree springs to keep warm. Just a few miles from the resort is Homosassa Springs Wildlife, State Park. It has to be one of the best wildlife reserves in the country. Well worth the $13 dollars to visit. First and foremost are the manatees. During the summer, the manatees there are rehabilitating from boating accidents and things. Also, there is a large assortment of birds there along with alligators, a hippo, and various other animals.
