Alaska Kiwi: Boise Idaho to Cave Lake State Park

October 7^th Boise Idaho to Wells Nevada

We had a leisurely get up this morning and left the campground about 11:30 for our days traveling. We drove south on from Boise to Twin Falls were we turned south west and onto Wells Nevada. It was nice to get away from freeway driving and onto a regular 2 lane Highway. We drove about 250 miles today and camped at “Welcome Station Campground,” 8 miles west of Wells. The camp is basically in the middle of nowhere next to a Interstate Highway. It is a small clean well maintained campground and is a nice spot for an evening stop.

On our evening walk to a small stream that borders the camp, we saw a 15” trout in the stream. Then notice an Owl sitting on the hand rail of the bridge, what a treat to see these 2 critters in the camp.

October 8^th Wells Nevada to Cave Lake State Park

When we left the camp we drove through the town of Wells, a town of many boarded up dilapidated buildings. There are some business still surviving gas stations and Casinos. We drove about 150 miles today on some very long stretches of straight roads. We camp this evening at Cave Lake State Park about 15 miles south of Ely. We are about 8 miles of the highway in a remote campground. There were severally people fishing the lake and catching pan size rainbow trout.

We had a camp fire this evening and enjoyed our meal sitting by the fire.
