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

Kenisee Lake RV Campground, OH

Our Visit

     Our drive from Niagra to Kenisee Lake was an eventful one.  Our "stop engine" light and buzzer came on and it was almost an impossible find to locate an auto/RV/truck mechanic that had the equipment to analyze our trouble.  We finally did, got the issue resolved and was able to make the 173-mile drive in just a bit under eight hours.  The other thing we found is that if you're using Google Maps as your GPS coming from I-90, it will direct you to go under a ten-foot bridge just before reaching the campground.

Once we got to the campground we found that they had already chosen our site for us.  (not the norm for a Thousand Trails park)  Fortunately, it was a 50 amp site as we found that there are just a few of them. I'm guessing that the assignment was to prevent RV's without 50 amps from using the available sites.  The campground is very nice, the sites are large and all have grass lawns with full hook-ups.  There are tent sites with just water and electricity as well.  Like with most campgrounds that rent out annual sites, the better locations we filled with people who don't travel.  The campground is only open half the year.  The other half power and water are turned off, but people can keep their RV's in their sites.  We found that most of the annual sites are just used on the weekend.  The campground is very well kept up and has decent amenities.  The pool could be bigger and the shared sports court could be split up so that you didn't have to set up a net every time you wanted to play pickleball.  The small lake is fine for boating but swimming isn't allowed.  There is also a good number of folks with ATV's and they drive them from the campground to go mudding somewhere nearby.  Overall the campground is one of the better ones we have visited, the people are very friendly and the feel of the campground is welcoming to traveling RV'ers.

     While here at the campground we didn't find a whole lot of excitement in the surrounding area.  We drove to Geneva by the Lake, (the local tourist area) then followed the road east along the lake for twenty miles or so.  Unfortunately for the town, since the 70's the lake has eaten up the beaches and businesses who once had nice beaches to draw customers in no longer have them.  We drove through town around eleven on a Monday and found most stores and attractions to be closed.  We also stopped at a couple of parks along Lake Erie and had a chance to wade out into the lake.  It was surprisingly warmer than I expected.  The problem is that the geese and seagull population at the parks is so numerous that most of the grass and beach areas are minefields and not very pleasant to hang out in.

Ponderosa Falls RV Campground

Ponderosa Falls RV Campground, Cheney, Washington

     Ponderosa Falls is not a public campground, it is a KM resort which welcomes Coast to Coast members.

    We arrived at the campground around 9:30 am on a Saturday and had to wait until ten for the office to open.  The office assigns sites based on availability and size of rig.  They were very friendly and suggested a few sites that we either empty or going to be available by noon and welcomed us to go check them out before deciding.  We found a great site that was to be available that morning, so we opted to wait for them to pull out.  They did but without their trailer.  After a couple of hours of waiting, we picked another site, which turned out just fine. (without the grass) Most of the sites had full hookups and varied in size with plenty of both pull-throughs and back-in sites, along with a few cabins.

     The campground had a very nice lodge with some weekend meals.  It also had a very small indoor pool, a weight room, and laundry.  Outside there was a basketball and pickleball court, horseshoes, a kid’s play area, and one of the better miniature golf courses we’ve seen.  Each hole had three holes to choose from.  For little kids, there was a small paddle boat pond. 

     Just a few miles away was the Northern Quest Casino.  We checked it out and saw that it had headliners like Donny & Marie.  The gaming floor was nice as well. We also drove into Spokane to walk around.  The city has some neat history, but what I enjoyed most about the city, is that it’s the site of the 1974 World’s Fair.  I was there when I was twelve and some of the old pavilions are still standing.  Over the years the city has let the area go, but are currently rebuilding it.  I look forward to seeing it again when the construction is complete.  The Spokane River runs through the center of the city with several natural waterfalls.
