This is pure disinformation. I've already tried to educate you as a KZfaq poster. When you post disinformation, it could negatively effect the environment and the very important attempts to soften the drought effects. PLEASE for the love of water, learn the source of Lake Mead WATER! Thanks dude.

BTW, are you working for BIG Casino bosses? To heck with actual water issues, as BIG Casino bosses, we DON'T want restrictions! :))

That's what I'm saying! I'm gonna go back there once it's over and do another before and after

​@@jessiesdroneadventures7464I can't wait for your video after the remnants of this tropical system move through.

For sure! I'm hoping to get back up to lake Powell soon.....but that heat 🥵

Its crazy how fast they are filling up. I'm thinking we're only gaining inches in water when we're gaining feet.

Hey thank you for checking out the video!.... appreciate it! 🙏

Hey thanks for watching! 👍👍 Glad you enjoyed the vid!

Well Thank you! Glad You Enjoyed!

Right! Every little bit helps! And it's certainly showing this year!

Hey thanks!!! Appreciate bit 👊

Hey thank you for watching!........Glad you enjoyed!

Hey thanks!!!! It was my pleasure 😁

Buddy!!! Thank you a million!! I don't get too many of these but when I do I reinvest every cent back into making these videos....thank you once again....I'll keep the video coming 👍

Ty!!

Oh awesome!! And thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍

Well thank you! I appreciate that..I will keep the adventure videos coming... funny enough I moved from the Midwest out here.

Thank you! glad you enjoyed the video!

Haha well thank you . I appreciate that 🙏

Oh neat story! Thank you for sharing!!! Yea the scenery is beautiful, but the temps can be very unforgiving!

Thanks for sharing! I'm in the process of compiling old photos so that way I can do a. Better before and after video of the resort..... hopefully they don't tear it down just get!

Right! Night and day difference compared to last summer

Greatly appreciate that! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I'll keep the videos coming! 👍

Absolutely! Going out there again in a couple weeks! Will see if there is any difference!

hey every little bit helps! Ill certainly be out there!

Appreciate that! Thank you !

Lol, awesome!!! 😎👍

Hey no problem! glad you enjoyed the video! I was just in Mesa about an hour ago

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! I'll keep them coming!

weather dry or humid heat.........100 degrees is still 100 degrees

Likewise!!! That would make for some great before and after photos.....it would be historical! Only time will tell but I hope it happens

It would be cool to see, but I can tell you from first hand that when the water is as full as it was in 1983 it’s just as inconvenient to go to the lake as it was last year in July when it was that low. The ultimate goal would be for the lake to be what is basically considered full like it was back in about 1999. In 1983 the lake was actually considered overfull as the lake is not supposed to spill into the Spillways.

I had the same issue!! About every half hour or so my camera would overheat, then I'd have to turn it off and keep it out of the sun for about 10-15 minutes. And yea on top of that, every hour or so I would go back into my car to cool off for 15 minutes and rehydrate 🥵 that heat was playing around.......and I was always told to listen to your body......dont wanna end up on the list of bodies found at lake mead ☠️....And thank you so much!!! 🙏 glad you enjoy the before and afters! Echo Bay is a pretty neat area, especially with the resort. Hopefully the temps ease up out there, I got a long hike out there I want to accomplish next week.....you know it's hot when even technology don't wanna work haha...thanks again! Stay cool 😎👍

Agreed 💯 even if it does fill up to 100% capacity, there is more people living in the southwest than ever before... conservation is key...... however, seeing that people are leaving California, maybe it will balance out

It sure is! Hopefully she keeps filling!

Right! At least 5-7 more wet years, should be interesting to see what the weather pattern is like next year

Hey thank you so much for sharing your story! 🙏🙏Greatly appreciate that! I also wondered what it would be like to live out there, Its a really unique area.....back then I'm sure it was like a little piece of paradise away from the city. Right off the bat I dont know who is tearing it down, but I'll check my footage because it did have some names and numbers on those shipping containers......I'll get back to you! 👍

eh, I dont know about solved, but its definitely helping

LOL Keep thinking that-- and you will keep contributing to the issue.

Sounds like it was the place to be! 🤙

It was really the only thing to do in the summer because it was too hot to be outside. Well over 100;people hanging out swimming sun bathing and jumping off those cliffs. The rangers wouldn't bug us if it was mellow. We would even camp over night sometimes Waking up by or on that glassy water with the sun coming up was awesome. Thanks for the video. Brings back tons of mems! Hope we can save the lake!!!

@@spigetts Hey thanks for sharing your memories! always enjoy reading them when people share them. I unfortunately did not grow up out here so I cant speak to lake mead Like others can....glad you enjoyed the video and thanks again!

Like Becca from back home?

I agree. I am optimistic, but the population of Las Vegas, Phoenix, and LA continue to increase every year....I think where the water is at now/where it was at last summer, is the new normal

True....but it hits kind of different at Lake Mead

Right! it was crazy, ive only lived in AZ just over 4 years and one day I was driving on the 202 going west, and then I got to southern ave and I looked out my window and I was like , " whats all this water doing here" and then seeing water pour over the dam at tempe town lake.....what a time!

Sure makes a huge difference.... Wonder if we'll get any more due to monsoon season

​@@jessiesdroneadventures7464The hurricane may help.

It was either a shaving from a tree or a piece of wood. That caught my eye as well when I first got there......thought it was wildlife of some sort, but throughout other areas of that spring there were shavings from palm trees

I could see that

Always do! Always will 👍 heading back out there this weekend. Temps should be "decent" but I'll be prepared!

I've seen that quite a bit here in Arizona. Someone once told me they more than likely dumped them..............Easier and Cheaper just to dump them on the side of the road or out in the middle of nowhere, than it would be to have them properly disposed of.

That's going to be a lot of buckets of water 😅

Exactly!

Amen to that!

🥵🥵🥵

Going back this weekend

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 I won't miss it for the world

🙏

True. From Hoover dam or from up above it doesn't look like anything really changed at all, but if you go there regularly it's easy to see how much it's changed

Heck yeah!!! A lot more wet winters!

I thought the same thing!

Excellent question! I read an article from the hill that said the snowmelt usually starts to stop around July, but this year we had way more than usual, so it could last a little longer, and with monsoon season here the rain could add a little to it. Between Snowmelt and rain.....I believe they could continue to go up until mid September

Absolutely!! And we'll definitely be documenting it's journey

It absolutely was , but it still mind boggles me as to why the park services wouldnt get rid of the boats or pick up the trash

Oh hey! I remember! I'll actually be out there tomorrow morning for a couple hours if your free then, otherwise I can meet you out there sunday, only thing is i do work sundays " I work a weird schedule" so I wouldnt get out there till about 4:00 pm

And Ill be back at lake mead next friday! will be interesting what things look like

I hear ya

Nah!! Raw sewage has come through that wash

Anythings possible. one thing i do know is ever since lake mead started getting in the youtube spotlight they started Requiring permits to film out there and some other youtubers say they blocked off certain public access roads to areas that the public use to go to.......I cant confirm that myself but its something I am looking into

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 they installed that new low water pipeline in 2016 I believe, and it went active in 2020. Within 2 years water levels hit all time lows and within 6 months of that going viral we mysteriously have a miraculous resurgence. Not saying the 2 are connected, but it’s very odd at the least. Anytime they don’t want you to see something there IS a reason, good luck tracking it down.

My first thought.

Haha, I thought the exact same thing. I was shocked to see that in the middle of nowhere, and thought to myself, " what a great place to take a dip" then I saw the warning sign. And yes! Lake Mead has a long way to go, but every little bit is progress! Thanks for watching the video. 👍

rain & snow

Lower government wash

After I got done shooting out here I went to the gas station and got a redbull and Drumstick!

lol, in my opinion, ever since bodies started showing up at lake mead its definitely peaked peoples curiosity about the lake......brining in more visitors

Oh they definitely did, it won't make a huge difference in the water level, but hey every little bit helps

That's what I'm thinking

Nah, that's still quite a ways under water

I think there will either be more water next year or it's going to drop like never before

hey I feel yea.....roasting here. Love lake mead because if I get too hot, I just jump in the lake!

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 When we lived in California…that was part of our family summers. We would take the boat and go Striper fishing mostly out of Temple Bar.

@@ericbowers1620 ahhhh! thats one place out at lake mead I havent made it out to yet. Ive heard people talk about it and I know where its at. I always see the just before coming into the lake mead rec area. Plan on making it out there at some point.....probs when heat dies down

It could happen!

That's the million dollar question, and I have no idea why. To my knowledge they didn't remove any boats when they had the chance..... doesn't make any sense 🤦‍♂️

I don't see why not.....a lot of people do fish there

I should be able to tell you in a few weeks. Planning a trip up there

Oh for sure! I keep a cooler of beverages in the back of my car and On these hikes I had a big jug filled with just ice, a large water bottle, a Gatorade and a diet coke.......can never be too prepared in this type of weather.......staying cool as always 👍

@jessiesdroneadventures7464 that's good to know Jessie.. saw you were getting a little bit hot there. Glad you're fine

@@vegas7105 next time I go out there which will probs be next week....just gonna have to get there at sunrise

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Not a bad idea maybe beat the traffic there while your at it. More wildlife around that time I heard.

That wouldn't surprise me, I've been trying to capture more video of the coyotes, bighorn sheep and wild horses that roam around out there. I'm sure they appreciate the less heat intense mornings just like we do

I don't know....park services are lazy? That's a million dollar question that has yet to be answered

Maybe a couple feet

8News now asked the NPS " national park service" why they dont remove the boats.........this was the response "As vessels continue to surface, park staff document their locations and assess for potential hazards or threats to environmental or human safety. But it is not standard park policy to remove a boat from the lake due to it being a labor-intensive, multifaceted and costly process.”

But then we get to see water flow over the spillways once again at Hoover dam!

Thank you 🙏

They are white due to the calcium deposits and other minerals that attached themselves to the rock walls long ago when the water line was much higher.

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 wow. The water level was once halfway up those mountains!

@@bml33 hard to believe!

True! we got lucky this year with excess snowpack.........will have to wait and see what next year holds

Rocky Mountains

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Show me..

That is the million dollar question. There is many different forecasts about the lake future, but only time will tell

Eeeesh!!!!!!

Eh, I see what your saying. But out of Arizona, California and Nevada.....Las Vegas actually uses the least amount of water

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 good Point. I think any desert community Like SoCal should too

I rode my bicycle across Australia Almost every house collects the rain that lands on their roof into a large tank for use

@@PInk77W1 that's what more people in the southwest should do. Granted we don't get a lot of rain here, but when we do, it would definitely take more pressure off of the Colorado river as the main source of water
