HWY 93
Dick Simonis:
We did that road going south, and will probably do it again on out northward trip.
Yeh, the Ely KOA is a trip, they stuck us out on the back row by the fire support trucks. We never did get the wifi to work in the boonies.
Did you take 318 into Ely, or stay on 93 the whole way?

Next time in Twin between April 1 and Nov 1, try the county park at Rock Creek. It's not a bad campground, and pretty inexpensive -$15. It's immediately west of St. Lukes Magic Valley Medical Center on the north side of Hwy 30/93. It's down in the creek canyon and not visible from the highway (Addison Ave), plus the sign at the entrance is small, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hi Bill and Joel,
Bill, the corrugated aluminum portion of the topper was rock hard. I tried to break it loose by hand, but just couldn't make it roll, so I soaked them with hot water while Chris ran the slide in and out until they would bend! ( hard to do with a 6ft ladder)
Joel, I will give rock creek a try. I am sure it's a better value than the S 93 RV park!
I have had parks that we will just pull out of. This one is really not that bad. They are doing a bunch of work, and the ground is very soft!!!
I buried a 15x15 Plywood pad with the front jack. I am not sure if I will will get the block up. I think I will need a pick to get it out tomorrow. Hey its better a block than an axle.

Dang Joel! I didn't even know that park was there and I thought I knew Twin pretty well. Anyway it looks like a nice place. Just a heads up tho, St. Lukes picked up her skirts and moved to a new building on the other side of the new Walmart just off of Pole Line. Your map looks like the park will be found even without that landmark.
Joel Ashley:
Our son's family lives down on Washington St. South, but I can't quite fit the coach down his driveway to park in his big yard, and when I parked on his front yard we left ruts that I had to fix. So when someone mentioned the park we tried it and stayed about 10 days. It works out well since Lee was born in Murtaugh and grew up in Hagerman, we can travel in all directions to visit relatives, and see the kids, grand kids, and great grandchildren on Washington St. only a few miles south. The main drag, Blue Lakes Blvd., is a hop away as are malls, Fred Meyer Store, countless restaurants, and Costco. We stayed at Hwy 93 Park once, but was too expensive for what and where it was.
New Yorkers who parked next to us at Rock Creek liked the area enough to buy a nearby lot and settle in for good on a small horse ranch. It gets a bit too hot and dry in summer for my native beaver tail, but okay to visit. They expanded the park to the west in 2008 I think, but the 9 spots on the east end are nicer and all face the well kept green space and the creek, though none on that side are pull throughs. No biggy for us since we stay for so long and the toad is always unhooked. They didn't have sewer hookups, but a honey wagon goes through once a week, and a free dump is a mile southeast of the park at Washington St. N. and 4th Ave. W.
I actually thought they were adding onto the hospital, so am surprised they moved it. They were building a new hospital down the road in '08, and I thought it was another outfit, but it must have been a new St. Luke's. We got a kick sitting on the patio by the rig and watching the helicopters fly on and off the hospital roof and low over our heads, so I'll miss that.
