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

Tuxbury Pond RV Resort, South Hampton, New Hampshire

     The drive in was wet and rainy so the branches along the route were low and did a number on our roof.  Our Garmin GPS led us to the back entrance to the park (which was not a road for RV's) and Google Maps put us on the correct road but took a screwy way to get there.  (Later the car's GPS placed us a mile away from the entrance)  Check-in time is 2 PM and we arrive at half-past ten.  So we had to pull over and wait.  (however, our assigned site was empty when we arrived)  Our site was nice enough, right between a park model that was vacant and a great couple with their three grand-daughters.  (So it was all good)  The park is along Tuxbury Pond which is large but mostly covered with vegetation that wasn't very inviting.  The park is divided with the park buildings in the middle.  It offers both heavily treed campsites as well as several with no shade at all.  The swimming pool looked nice and has a nice camp store.  There was an inflatable movie screen showing Christmas movies in July.  We did look at some of the other buildings like the laundry and what I assumed was a teen area which was in bad condition.  The campground is quite large and the only dumpsters are located about a quarter of a mile outside the gate with no recycling.  The campground is half in New Hampshire and half in Massachusetts.  Overall, the campground was fine and meeting new friends made it all that much better.

     While we were there we took a day to drive up along the New Hampshire coast along Route 1A.  This was the first time we had been able to drive along the Atlantic Ocean and actually see the ocean.  We followed the coast until we reached Portsmouth.  Along the way, we stopped at a revolutionary war bunker, Fort Constitution, that is located inside a Coast Gaurd station along with a Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse on New Castle Island.  On another day we drove south back into Massachusetts to do the tourist thing in Salem.  We spent the day poking around town, did a tour of a which house and walked out onto Derby Wharf to check out the light station built in 1871.  Salem was a beautiful town with lots of history and lots of tourists.  Who would have thought that less than one year of witch trials in 1692 would bring so much money into the town several hundred years later?  We had also planned to visit Boston, but the parking cost alone made it unappealing for a partial day visit.  In the future when we can take the train into town and plan a little better, we'll try it again.
