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.
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

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.

TLC Wolf River is a nice campground a couple of miles from the Gulf of Mexico. We arrived and the camp host loaded us into his golf cart and drove us around to find a site. The sites were labeled A & B, (A sites faced the alley and B sites face the Bayou) we found a 50 amp 'B' site. (an extra $5 a night for 50 amps) The campground had a small pool (not heated) a mini-golf course, some horseshoe pits, and a clubhouse, most of which showed neglect and wasn't very inviting. Our site had a nice view and was shaded so we did enjoy the park. After meeting and becoming friends with the couple next door, the campground was more enjoyable. I'd say we'll visit again in the future.
While we were there we took two drives. The first one, we drove to the Gulf and then headed East twenty-five miles to Biloxi. The beach along that stretch of the Gulf was a beautiful white sandy beach for miles. On the other side of the road facing the water were beautiful homes and six Waffle Houses. While in Biloxi we checked out one of the many casinos. (we came out ahead) On our second drive, we went west. This time we found more beautiful beaches and ended at another casino, the Silver Slipper. By joining their member club we got a couple of free nights at their campground (good for 30 days). Actually, the campground wasn't pretty nice with many sites viewing out over the Gulf. Just to say we did it, we had lunch at a Waffle House. It wasn't bad, but not really what we expected.
