Jackpot, NV to Ely, NV

I didn’t get any photos again today.  It was a much needed shorter day of travel.  We left Jackpot around 10am this morning and our first stop was to take on fuel in Wells, NV at the Flying J.  From there we continued south on Hwy 93 taking a short break for lunch about 70 miles before arriving at Ely.  We are spending the night in the RV park at the Prospector’s Casino with full hookups for $16.65 including tax.  With overnight temperatures in the 30’s it will be nice to have electric heat as needed and I was also able to catch up a little bit on the laundry.  Before dinner we went over to the casino to use our two free margarita coupons we received with the payment for our RV site.  I played the machines for a while and was able to win $25…not bad!  Tomorrow we will be headed to the Elks in Las Vegas.

 

Cache Creek to Prince George

After putting in a long day of driving (for us), we decided to stay at Prince George, BC for a couple of nights. We stayed at the Southpark RV Park about 3 miles south of town and paid $60.48 (Canadian) for the 2 nights. It was a full hookup site with 30amp electric. We really need to do a bit more investigative work before selecting campgrounds. This one was okay, but the sites were very narrow. We passed another park south of here called Bee Lazee and one north of here called Stincich which probably would have been better for space although we didn't check the price. We drove around town on Thursday to check out the fuel stations. Someone parked next to us the night before told us to go to the 2nd Shell station north of the campground and that they take Flying J cards. We'll check it out this morning as we continue on our way.
