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

Preferred RV Resort, Pahrump, Nevada

Our Visit

     We wound up leaving Las Vegas for a week because we weren't happy in the RV Park that we were in and found ourselves in Pahrump, NV.  Preferred RV Resort is a private park for members only.  Fortunately, our Coast to Coast membership includes us as members.  So for $3.50 per night we decided to try it out.

     The first thing we noticed about the park was how friendly everyone was.  People helped us get into a site, (the first two that were assigned to us at the gate were too small for our coach and car so we picked a spot and then told the gate where we landed.  They were great with that.  Later, the camp host stopped by and filled us in on all the sites to see in the surrounding area.  Although the park is all gravel and very little grass, the friendliness of the members made up for it.  We took part in a couple of the breakfasts and tried to have dinner, but we got there ten minutes after the announced starting time and found a full house and no food left.  The staff was very apologetic and assured us that this sort of thing didn't happen often.  They made up for the next morning by serving way more breakfast than I could possibly eat.  

     The town of Pahrump was nice.  There are a few casinos and all the conveniences that you find in larger cities.  Best of all gas prices were about fifty cents a gallon less than Vegas prices.  From town, Death Valley is just over an hour's drive.  On our first trip to the valley, we drove to Dante's View where you can see most of the valley from 5000 feet above.  From there we stopped at Zabriskie's Point and then down to the visitor's center at Furnace Creek.  On our second trip to Death Valley, we first stopped for a date shake at China Ranch. (a date farm) then entered the valley from the south.  We followed Badwater Rd stopping at Ashford Mills Ruins, Badwater Basin, and Natural Bridge.  Our timing was good as it was cloudy and in the mid-'80s while we were in the valley, so our short hikes were comfortable.  Death Valley was surprisingly interesting and is another one of our great national parks.  

     Overall it was a great week, the park was nice, the people even nicer and there was enough to do to keep us entertained.  I'm glad we changed our original plans and drove the sixty miles from Vegas.  We'll make a note to visit here again in the future.  I would like to see Death Valley in the Winter.
