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

Gateway to Cape Cod falls in the category of a campground vs. a resort. The camping sites were large, treed, and all have fire rings and a picnic table, so it gave you the camping feel from the get-go. The section that we camped in was mostly people camping and not residing in the campground, which added to the camping feel. The campground also has many resort-like amenities, like a pool, tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts. (although the courts were far from level) There is a snack bar/restaurant opened for three meals on most days and there seemed to be plenty of activities going on. On the downside, the rec-room and the mini-golf course might need of some TLC and the dirt roads had several potholes that you could swim across. Overall, the campground had a warm welcoming feel to it and is definitely one we would return to. As it happened it was also a great place to meet new friends.
The campground is located at the base of Cape Cod and is only a half an hour drive from Plymouth to the north and New Bedford to the south. Both towns are rich in history, which is always fun for us. While we were in Plymouth the Draken was in town our tour. The Draken is a replica of a Viking ship used a thousand years ago. We also drove out to Provincetown (P-town) at the very tip of the cape. (the spot where the Pilgrims actually first landed in Nov. of 1620) As it turns out Provincetown is home to and a destination point to a large LGBT community which made for a very enjoyable if not colorful visit. We will have to return when we have more time, we made the mistake of driving out there on a Saturday and the slow traffic ate up most of the day.
