I assume that a lot of people who are 'dry camping' are the new nomads whose only home now is their vehicle.

You provide the best scenery videos. I love the west. So sad to see lake Meed almost dry. I was out there in 65 went swimming with some friends . Keep up the good work.

Greatly appreciate your untiring efforts in every parameter to move your subscriber fraternity along with your good selves. All The Best in Your Excellent Earnest Enterprising Emerging Evolving Travel Endeavor 🌹💐🤝🙏

Could it be a lot of people are staying away from those sites because gas prices are just to costly for them to visit?

@richardl.7390 2 года назад

Valley of Fire State Park is a "must-see", not very far from Lake Mead. Rock formations everywhere and a very nice (though a fee-area) campground. When you exit the Park on Interstate-15, you are between Las Vegas and Mesquite. Lake Mead is starting to look like Anza-Borrego in Southern California, not scary yet but coming ! Very nice video, full of memories for me. Thank you so much ! RICHARD

They need to shut down all new building in the Phoenix and Las Vegas areas for at least 5 years. This area has been allowed to over populate to an obscene level. It needs to stop.

@johnlenart597 2 года назад

My walking days are over also. Boy getting older isn't for the timid.!! Sure appreciate your videos. Wonder what this moon like surface would look like if it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.!! LOL. Getting too warm for school.🥵🥵. Still a beautiful area even in it's dry state. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

@patd4u2 2 года назад

Can't believe how low the water level is. Going to be over 100° all this week here in the Phoenix area. I forgot about having one of those America the beautiful passes, I have the access pass. They give it to you free if you have a VA disability rating. It's good until I kick the bucket.

Hey, Russ, great video of Lake Mead and campsites. Las Vegas gets about 74% of it's water from Lake Mead. All water from drains, etc. are funneled to a treatment facility, cleaned and returned back to the lake. I thought you'd be interested to know that. Happy Trails!

@Hi_Mommy953 2 года назад

You should go check out Lake Las Vegas it is really cool all the runoff from Las Vegas goes into Lake Las Vegas some great catfishing there at night I'd imagine that's where the water you seen the runoff from the Lake Las Vegas go check it out it's cool

NOTE: The water from Las Vegas goes under the lake at Lake las Vegas ... The Lake Las Vegas Water is Potable water.. Not filled by the Vegas Wash...

@Bobs-bd3yo 2 года назад

All of the lakes are feed from the Colorado. They say the lakes are low because of a 20 year drought im thinking over use. You cant send out more than what comes in. Well logic would say that.

@lorih3577 2 года назад

Yes, did boondocking for years in that area. If you are disabled you can get the pass that gives you free admission to the National Parks, so its free. RV dumps and potable water at Boulder Beach and Callville Bay. Love that area

@BlueSky-ff4oy 2 года назад

Very interesting. (That must have been a pretty penny spent on gas to show us the past few videos.) THANKS! I cruised right past LV recently so I appreciate you stopping to do the tour.

@lindawoody8501 2 года назад

Thanks for going to all the overlooks and using your drone to show the sights. I also agree about the Las Vegas Harbor campground area at Lake Mead that you drove through, for no hook-up camping. Looks very pleasant with the trees.

Thanks for that great heads up on Las Vegas Bay CG. I could also see myself staying there in the next year. Your headed to the area that for 28 years I boated on Lake Powell. I kept my boat last at Big Water but repatriated it back to NJ in 2002 when the lake started to dry up. Now it looks like you best could use a Jeep to explore it. Safe travels.

Stayed at Gov Wash in the Class B. Good times. Pro Tip: Get there early for a good spot. Indeed the roads to the super good spots are not really accessible for much larger than a B but there are spots for As or converted busses or whatnot.

@cjhoward409 2 года назад

We stayed at a campground there about 8 years ago. The water was very low even then. It took us 20 min to walk to the lake but the people working there said it used to be about a 4-5 min walk to get to the lake 😬

@davespeer6569 2 года назад

We hope you stopped at Echo bay on your way to Utah. Jason Robards and Ann Margrets hang out back in the day. When they still had water

@jmn93065 2 года назад

Hey Russ, I wish you would have stopped at Callville, I used to launch my boat there back in the mid 2000's. It doesn't appear that the launch ramp is active these days. I'm glad I did my boating 20 years ago when the lake was still useful for boating. So sad.

@notmyfault6835 2 года назад

Hopefully, the incoming water if from the Rockies snowpack 🏔 ❄💧🙏

@spankroy 2 года назад

It would be interesting to see a breakdown in where the water ends up by percentage. I know Las Vegas treats wastewater that is pumped back into Lake Mead, so they are not as heavy users as one would expect for such a large metro area. If California wasn't run by the current galaxy brains in charge, we should be able to install desalination plants along the coastal areas using solar/offshore wind to power them. Israel has implemented newer technology they use for desalination which requires far less maintenance on the filtration side compared to traditional desalination plants.

@gargar8196 2 года назад

I’m glad someone else is talking about desalination plants needed. It will take four or five years to build a desalination plant or longer we need them now. Can also power them with natural gas

@brianweber4154 2 года назад

Santa Barbara does. It's not cheap. Arizona takes a lot of Colorado River water too

@stephentaylor280 2 года назад

They are about to cut off a lot of water to Lake Mead to use it to put more water into Lake Powell. Love your channel !

@loricarter4175 2 года назад

Watched a news program think 5 years ago...they were diving down 100 feet to see all the equipment etc. Left for building the dam. Pretty soon you'll be able to walk through it.

We were there 3 weeks ago and that boat was upside down and there two ponds in front of it that the coyotes were catching fish from.

Hi Russ, Great channel! I've been watching for a few years now. Always very relaxing and interesting. I was wondering what the incidental music was that you often play? It fits very well and I'd like to investigate what other tracks they've written etc. Thanks! Keep trucking!

Hi Russ! Echo bay on the lake has a nice campground, very similar to the one in this video but, they also have a tiny general store, and restaurant. I don't know how far out the launch is now . we used to take our little boat out there all the time. We haven't been in two years but always liked echo bay the best Oh! and an abandoned luxury resort that's super creepy but its all still there and you can see how it used to be kinda fancy😀 As always, love from Las Vegas to you😘

@tjadventures9163 2 года назад

I go to Echo Bay but have never noticed the store or restaurant being open. I agree, the prettiest but the water level has dropped there as well.

@lynnleavitt478 2 года назад

In 2012 I purchased my senior pass as I entered Yosemite at the south entrance for only $10. It's good for a lifetime and never expires and gets the holder's vehicle and occupants into any national park and some fee based national forests. Camping fees are additional. I heard the price has increased to $80 and is no longer lifetime, but that might be incorrect.

@susannbasta2972 2 года назад

That is absolutely correct, a few years back now.

@gregordonnaghchaid26 2 года назад

That's crazy, me and dog were there just two years ago (2020) and the ramp where that sunken boat was at was actively used. Vegas and Arizona better pack up and go away. At this rate they'll be trying to figure out how to capture clouds for water. Well that explains the Californian who tried to get water from Seattle so he could tow it in big sausages to L.A. 😄

All that water comes from the people in Las Vegas when I watering their lawns and it water too long and goes over the curb and down into the channels that all goes to Lake Las Vegas when they're overflowing the ponds on the strip for all of us tourist destinations Treasure Island that's where the water comes from and from the sewer treatment plant that's the water of course the water is clean once it comes out of the sewer treatment plant hahaha you think so

I've been seeing all sorts of coverage about the bodies they've been finding around Lake Mead. The most interesting was the fellow found in the barrel. I guess a couple retired policemen have put up a reward for information. I mean a case that cold and probably mob related (assuming this because of the proximity to Vegas, the bullet hole in the skull and the age of the corpse) I'm interested to see if anyone really comes up with a real lead. Interesting as all that is there's got to be some pressure on the environment and local economies unfortunately. I hope you're right and they do reverse this. Great views though Russ. I love the West. It's all so "spooky".
