Driving by Pocatello Regional
Airport on the way to Lava Hot Springs KOA in Idaho, a big
jet few across the road very close to the two RV Gypsies' RV.
Karen Duquette was able to snap two quick pictures through the
window of the RV. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies parked their RV at Lava Hot
Springs KOA in Idaho. Although they made their reservations 2-1/2 weeks
ahead of time, they were assigned to an overflow spot near the
office. Actually the overflow spot was real nice, but it cost $70 a
night because it is considered a premium site (the back half of the
RV fit on the paved area - there was a fancy gas BBQ grill
on site and a nice picnic table in a grassy area). Only problem was
that there was no cable in the premium site. For that kind of money,
the two RV Gypsies really would like to have TV.
The campground Wi-Fi was super slow even though they were parked next to the office. And on the second day, the Wi-Fi didn't come in at all, and no, the two RV Gypsies did not upload, download, or use excessive bandwidth. The water pressure was very poor at times. (Cost of RV sites ranged from $27.50 to $85 a night) Check in time was 3 P.M. Check out was 11 A.M. Your site can be reserved a whole year in advance. |

Below: The view behind the
RV of the two RV Gypsies. The Portneuf River is down behind the trees.
There is a path leading down there too. Looking to the front of
the two RV Gypsies' RV, they saw a big hill and a train going by. |

and zooming in, a horse was seen on the hill behind the RV. |

Below: After setting up the
RV, Karen Duquette took the path behind her RV and went down to the
river to check out the water for herself. |
|
Below: Karen Duquette trying
to decide if she wanted to go in the cold water because the bottom of
the river is quite rocky - actually it was muddy, but had big boulders
all throughout the river. |

|
Below: Karen Duquette was
brave enough to go in the water, but- notice the face she made because
of the water was icy cold. It was a slow, difficult walk because of
the big boulders. Swimming was impossible because of the big boulders.
Lee Duquette would not go in the water. |

tree below was hanging over the Portneuf River. The roots can be seen
barely hanging in there. |

Comments do not make the campground good or bad in general. They are just statements about the experience of the two RV Gypsies on said date. |
