Mountain Home, Id. Elks Lodge

We have arrived, just where ? Mountain Home, ID. Elks Lodge #2276,

Address: 325 S 3rd W St, Mountain Home, ID 83647
Phone: (208) 587-9926

They have 6 sites with 30 amps and 2 more with 50 amps, water on site with a common dump. We setup in #1 or really #1 1/2, as we moved over 1/2 a space for satellite connection and great grass area for Dakota and Tilly. Dakota, loved the area as she played until she was plum tired out. After 2 long walks we all fell asleep.


We took a walk around town, stopped in at “Apple Barrel Deli And Bakery”. We scored as they had tables setup outside and were very paw friendly. Devon, came out with water bowls for both.

5 out of 5 Stars for food and friendliness:

Susan and I both had home made soups and 1/2 sandwich. Yum on the soup and sandwich.

For traveling along the highways, we use a web site titled Mile – by – Mile

Mile By Mile – Link

I like this web site instead of Goggle Earth or Maps Satellite view. Mile by Mile gives you descriptions along a specific highway. 
For the highways we were on, it stated “Limited Service”. Boy, that was an understatement.


We left Pahrump on Tuesday, May 1. Our goal was the Prospector Hotel and Casino, in Ely, Nv. Boy, were we surprised when we arrived and found the Rv park had closed just 2 weeks earlier.


We discuss the options and decided to add an additional 125 miles to the day and arrived in Wells, Nv., for the night.

Susan called and arranged for a 1 night stay at the Angel Lake Rv Park, for $35.00 Easy access as all sites are pull thru. I had decided to do it this way as the temperatures were expected to be in the 20’s and 30’s do to a cold front moving thru.

We awoke to 30 degrees in the morning, but as the sun rose so did the temperature. Susan drove the first leg of the trip and we switched out near Twin Falls.

One thing we both agreed, this was a $500 day in Fuel. OUCH....

Our fuel schedule:
Start of the trip = Coolidge, Az.

May 1st.,  Amargosa, Nv., 77 gals @ $3.189 = $244.48

May 1st., Wells, Nv., 66 gals @ $3.48 = $228.50

Distance we have traveled since Yuma, Az. = 1123
