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

Bay View RV Resort

      We arrived at Bay View RV Resort seven months after Hurricane Harvey had hit.  It is unfortunate that so much damage was done to the area.  The clean-up and rebuild efforts are amazing.  However, it looks like the park is slow to bounce back.  A lot more clean-up and rebuilding need to be done.  This is understandable, but we didn’t see any work going on in the park working toward that goal.  Some of the unsightliness could be cleaned up in a matter of days or even hours, but it’s still there months later.  The park charges members an additional $10 as a campground fee.  I hope that extra money is going toward fixing the park up.  We had the good fortune of camping next to some really nice people, so it made the campground a bit more welcoming.  From the pictures, you can see the devastation that took place, it is very sad.  I’m sure in time the campground will become a resort again.  I could see us staying there again in the future, but probably just for a night or two.  Driving around we saw a lot of RV parks in much better condition.
