@apolloskyfacer5842 Год назад

Yet another quality video from the master of quality videos. Keep em coming Russ, it's greatly appreciated.

@henrywardell4635 Год назад

BRAVO.

@richardduke9788 Год назад

As a driver , that be a great retirement job ! I delivered new hospital beds all over the country , with trailer similar to that . A sliding overhead crane would pick them up at smaller hospitals that didn't have a loading dock . Interesting video 📹 , thanks 😊!

@Marcy.Duvall 10 месяцев назад

Not too often one can get this close to the Colorado River when you live on the east coast! That is why we appreciate so many of your videos, Russ!

@richardbeee Год назад

I highly recommend that float trip. Took on back in the late 70's for my geology of Arizona class out of U of A. We had the choice of writing a paper on some boring geological structure or float the river and write about that. You shouldn't have to guess which one i went for. Absolutely fantastic, geology, biology, i could guy on and on. Oh yea college babes too:-) Memories....

@lindamartin2045 Год назад

Wasn't that an interesting trip!👍👍🤗😳. I've not seen the rafters returning from an excursion. Quite a process. Thanks Russ. Happy travels.😊😎.

@kennardchristensen4303 Год назад

Grew up there use to be the diamond bar ranch now grand canyon west now. There wasn't any paved roads then, all dirt roads from Dolan Springs to the river, road looks smooth compared to when we lived there took 3hrs from Kingman to the ranch house. Drove a lot of cattle to Pearce Ferry. We use to find all kinds of stuff at the CCC camp dumps

@WEHenry Год назад

I would enjoy that trip down river but I think I would be glad to get back also, enjoyed the vid Mr russ 👍

@tomthatcher7757 Год назад

Thanks Russ. Watching the boat unloading the people was neat!

@peterwaroblak166 Год назад

About 40 years ago I saw an ad in the Orange County Register, a guy was taking people up river in his Zodiac boats. This is where we put the boats in on a Memorial weekend. That was the best $125 I ever spent...

@45035 Год назад

Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. To bad you could not of been in South Pode Island Texas on the 31st of March this year. We went down there and watch the USS Kitty Hawk come in. They had to tow her 16000 miles from Berminton Washington. Now they are on their way to the east coast to get the USS John F Kennady. The Navy don`t need them anymore so they sold them to the scrap yard for one penny.

@nancycain4434 Год назад

Cool video, enjoyed the drone shots. Thanks for taking that rough rd. Looks like you were at the right place at the r. time to get the boatload of lucky people. Safe travels Russ.

A little bit of trivia for you. The Jet Boat was invented in New Zealand by Bill Hamilton at Irishmans Creek Station In the McKenzie Basin in the South Island.

@henrywardell4635 Год назад

BRAVO.

@lyndacompton1846 Год назад

Very wonderful to see it thank you for being there and showing us

@pinballwizzer Год назад

Wow! Last time i was on a raft trip through grand canyon ( ten years ago) There was a dock! You unloaded to the dock. The fancy buses picked you up from the dock. Seeing that jet boat come around the corner on that tiny strip of water instead of across a lake was startling.

@roberthull93534 Год назад

Living in Kingman, you can see many of those rafts that made the journey, going through town, heading back eastbound on the 40. Those rafts are very big.

@bonnieclyne5618 Год назад

Wow, how cool is that! What an adventure that would be! Amazing video, Russ, thanks! I'll bet those people had a blast and lifelong memories! Blessings and greetings from central Florida!

@FlourishingLove Год назад

That was really cool seeing the river, the people who took the journey getting off the boat, and all of that beautiful desert scenery. I still want to know where are the monsoon rains, though.

@SmittyAZ Год назад

Wow! Thanks for taking that dirt road. I've been right there a few times, but on 100% street motorcycles, so no way.

@xstanadu Год назад

Thank you 🎉Thank you again Sir great trip down to the mighty Colorado river . Never knew a thing of this … so thanks for opening my eyes and others who watch and enjoy your videos ! Amazing scenery !! Continued wishes for Safe Travels Sir !

@mnbsay9548 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this. I lived in Dolan Springs back in 72-73 with my grandparents and I still remember the rafting vans and buses full of people and supplies going back to the starting point. There’s cliffs at South Cove we used to jump and dive off into the water below which was always warm. I haven’t been back since then but do want to go back maybe next summer.

@lylebarnard7447 Год назад

This is one of those places you definitely need to know the weather before you go and road conditions

@bobmirror7164 Год назад

Thanks for the aerial view. In 2000 I took my 12-foot fold-a-boat with a 5-hp motor from Las Vegas Bay Marina to up to he helicopter landing area beyond Pierces ferry. That whole basin was full of water. All of the green flat area was under water. It was several miles wide and the in let to the canyon was some what obscure. Nice to see what the place looks like without water. Kind of what I expected. Back then the rubber boats floated down to the camping area. It was very slow moving water and lots of silt muck mud (aka quick sand).

@cookimozdziock8146 Год назад

Did a raft trip about 20 years ago on the Colorado. 14 days on unmotorized rafts. Diamond river adventures. Wonderful trip.

@stephbrandenburg9957 Год назад

Really nice be at the waters edge.. not a mirage at all! That drone makes all that driving worthwhile! Oh gosh how fantastic! Thanks Russ! Get that water break in .. hot weather -be parched after hiking around

@paul9156c Год назад

You might be surprised how fast washboard dirt roads smooth out at higher speeds, usually around 20+mph. If your suspension is working properly.

@terrian1679 Год назад

I have reached the same ideal resonance on my bicycle its wonderful > I would like a tunable on a 2 wd Tacoma

@kathycypher3399 Год назад

Hi Russ! Really enjoyed your video today loved when you zoomed in. I have been watching for 2 years all your videos.. just so enjoyable to watch your videos. Love your laugh, and love to hear your voice. And really appreciate your clean speech! Wish I could do what you do and go where you go. What a privilege!👩👍🌺 from Hemet California

@lyndaphillips3520 Год назад

Just amazing. Never knew that was how the raft trips ended.

@ZeldaRosenthal Год назад

Great trip! Thank you, Russ! ❤️

@dennishough3709 Год назад

Hi Russ, I agree you should return in the fall and bring the “Dusty Nugget”!! That would be awesome.

@johnharney6548 Год назад

Well Russ, this just gets better and better, Thanks a Million

@azcojan Год назад

We visited the campground in the spring of 2000. At that time, the rafts were taken out of the water right close to that campground. All that area was lake back then and it was not possible to see the river as it was way under water. All those roads were made as the water level receded. We live near a reservoir and river that feeds into the Colorado river and it breaks our hearts to see how people and cities downstream use this precious commodity without thinking that it is not infinite. Thank you for the tour. Your video quality is so clear and well edited.

@williamreed5470 Год назад

Check it out!! Russ is taking us on another adventure. Thanks Russ.👍👍

Things I thought I’d never see! Thanks Russ!

@artyoung5923 Год назад

Absolutely love your channel and the trips around my home state Arizona !! So close to my birth place of Kingman . I’m happy that I was able to watch the video and a little home sick at the same time .

@chofa6769 Год назад

Thx Russ I feel like I’m your shotgun rider ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸be safe

@lindawoody8501 Год назад

I have only been on a short few hour long raft float trip several years ago in another state. Fun but yes expensive. By the way, the gent in the white pickup had an ice chest in the back and the passengers all got a bottle of cold water before getting on the white bus to leave. Probably thank you's and good-byes to guides too.

@tuomasholo Год назад

Love the aerial view along with the drive and walk.

@kimberlyshalaby1134 Год назад

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Now this looked exciting! That was a nice size group to go on excursion with. Most definitely friendships were formed out there. Loved the aerial view of the Colorado River. I'll get caught up on your videos. 19 days no internet or phone service. Those cows weren't moooving fast enough to get snail mail moving either. I really missed seeing your videos.

@davidtwomey5937 Год назад

Someday I want to do the boat trip through the canyon. I had seen it advertised in Vegas but actually seeing what you showed is compelling me, thanks Russ.

@deborahlewis5964 Год назад

Russ you have the best travel videos!!!! Thanks again!!!!!

@KubotaManDan Год назад

That was cool, thanks for taking us along

@yawndave Год назад

Howdy Russ, happy Friday! Thanks for driving that dirt road so we don't have to! I would guess they have to keep it in somewhat decent shape for the rafting company shuttles, but it still looks like there are some pretty washboard-y stretches. Now that you've been to the rafting take-out spot, maybe you could visit the put-in spot at Lee's Ferry on one of your future trips--it's a LOT more scenic than Pearce Ferry. Until next time, happy trails!

@evelynwinchester4726 Год назад

Wow, that was really interesting and how cool you were there to see those people disembark. Glad you talked to the bugs driver. If I were there, I would have chatted with the rafters to ask what their trip was like. THANK YOU,

@philhammond5908 Год назад

Drove from Dolan springs to Greg’s landing when we were drilling to see if it was feasible to put another Reservoir above that they could pump water into during the night and let out for electrical power for Peak power demands.

@juliebradford2999 Год назад

@patc7055 Год назад

Would be so fun to go on one of those excursions!!!! Thank you for sticking around to see how they do it.

@charleyfolkes Год назад

Nice video ! We were in Seligman one day and a bus load of rafters were stopped at Delgadillos Snow Cap resting and eating, burned, bedraggled, and frazzled ..

@markwood1097 Год назад

think its the solitude you love the most about getting off the main ways ppl may travel. WOW Russ what a surprise day trip for you to take us along. got to put on bucket list. that rafting trip from Lees ferry (already stayed there couple days highly recommend that too, Vermillion cliffs the whole area magnificent & basically un touched)down to pierce crossing. those ppl looked tired & as you said made new friends, imagine the camping too ...keep up your vacation/ road trips so much to see & do out west. flooding lol to hear ya even mention that! loving the videos.....

@jakebrakebill Год назад

I'd have to say that was the best and most interesting video of yours that I've seen

@randalljames1 Год назад

My only regret was growing up in this part of the country.. never really appreciated it until I lived in the mid west.. We spent a lot of weeks on Powell and Mead... They use the boats because of time.. The water does not move fast enough after you get down river and the river gets wide. takes another 2 days if you just float the river down.. hop on a jet boat and it is only a couple hours..

@roynapora7683 Год назад

@davechristensen3167 Год назад

Worked as a guide in Grand Canyon for about 15 years. Half way is hiking in or out from Phantom Ranch. Jet boats get the guests across the last 60 miles way faster than the motor powered rafts and a day faster than the row boats. The campground used to be near lake level. The cliffs across from the boat ramp are the eroded silt deposits from the lake when it was full. There is a unrunnable rapid just down stream from the boat ramp. It’s just a half mile downstream. Next time you get there look at it. When I worked down there the boat ramp was near the campground. We called it Pierce Ferry Bay. The last few trips I worked we went to South Cove because you couldn’t get int the Bay any more. I’m 64 and hope to get there by the River again.

@caverbrad Год назад

I'll add that I've done three trips down the canyon full length and used one outfitter for the first one and a different for the second and third. The first was near labor day 2005. My gps points show that we were picked up by the jet boat at Spencer Canyon and taken to South Cove. When we got to the transition from silty river to lake the pilot asked us to brace just in case we hit a sand bar. I think they picked us up at camp and we then picked up another trip from another outfitter. We helped the guides de-rig the outer tubes on the raft. Our guides said it makes for faster travel but still would take them something like 6? hours to get to South Cove. 2010 I decided to do the same trip but try another outfitter who also ran the whole canyon. By then the lake had dropped more and the new rapid had appeared. That and a 2015 trip we took the raft to Pearce Ferry. I know the area then was getting dicey with sandbars near the Skywalk area.

@charleshicks3492 Год назад

Great video; nice drone video and the boat was cool😎😎😎👍👌👌

@juanito2903 Год назад

Drones are prohibited in National recreational areas! Russ thinks he's above law.

@egarant57 Год назад

Thanks for venturing out down there Russ, much appreciated!!

@monkeywentbananas Год назад

Wow! I may have to raft trip down the Colorado river after watching this video! Looks like a well organized outfit!

@megadawg342 Год назад

The spectacular views are really interesting!! When I look what I see is that an unfathomable amount of water, probably a few thousand feet tall or more cut those canyons and valleys. And it happened in a very short period of time. A tumult of catastrophic proportions. Moab, all the way up threw the Scab Lands of Oregon and Washington. Water did this, VERY QUICKLY! Warmer, Dryer is the trend now, coming out of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago. Either the Freeze or the Flood, or both killed off the Mega-Fauna then. Just look. It is there for those with eyes to see.

@Acein3055 Год назад

Thanks for the great videos. It's the next best thing to being there.

@joemc111 Год назад

Russ great video. Two Questions for you or someone who knows. I was looking for the other side of the Ferry,never saw a place it could of been. And after seeing the boat ramp I am just guessing Lake Mead backs up this far, keep the videos coming.

@azcojan Год назад

Lake Mead didn’t exist when the ferry was in use. It is my understanding that it was used to cross the river to transport to and from the mines on the north side of the river.

@spankyiskool420 Год назад

It's like 28-30mi down a rough dirt road. It's the Colorado river I think. Back end of mead.

@timsterrett2417 Год назад

To cool for school russ.

@dennisportillo6074 Год назад

Halfway other grand trip us at Phantom Ranch. The 9 or 10 day trips are commercial trips. Private trips run from 16 to 21 days. Of I could get 21 to 24 days away I would make it happen. Retirement is getting closer!!!
