Lake Mead can be bypassed on your adventure up the Colorado. Get to Glen Canyon Dam and prepare to have your mind blown by Lake Powell. What you’ve seen so far is the baby brother to Powell. It is magnificent, to say the least. I live on the river in Bullhead City near Laughlin. You’ve documented our precious area in a beautiful way. Thank You!

@AdamSwords 8 ай бұрын

Hey Randy, I’ve already done Powell! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftxhaNZ6uZ65lYE.htmlsi=L_tIkB_05ktKuh2I I’m glad you feel I’ve documented it well :)

Don’t think I’d want to watch one without commentary. Don’t always care for the music, but i prefer this style.

@jollyrob 10 ай бұрын

I think episodes like this one (which I really enjoy btw) could def be interspersed with sections of pov/nature sounds giving us a deeper understanding of the ambience you're experiencing.........but not the whole vlog, I like the craic 👍

@AdamSwords 10 ай бұрын

Yeah that’s a great idea

@CuncleMike 10 ай бұрын

This is the right answer. If I had to throw a percentage to it, I'd say 20-25% ASMR style and the rest your typical style

@AdamSwords 10 ай бұрын

I’ll try to implement that!

@CuncleMike 10 ай бұрын

Not for every video but your solo-dolo adventures would work to have a smidge of the ASMR stuff. As a matter of fact, you know what you are doing lol. Just do what feels right bro.

Adam, this is another awesome video! I'm following you for quite a long time and you are such an inspiration for solo traveling. This year I had a VW T5 custom built as a camper van and am now traveling across Europe together with my dog finding my every day adventures. Over the past couple weeks I traveled from The Netherlands to Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia in to Northern Italy where I just watched this one. Keep on doing what your doing!💪🏼

Adam I just did this ride from Cottonwood to Hoover dam last weekend with the AriZona PWC enthusiasts group out of Phoenix. So gorgeous. I’m in so cal but have a place in Havasu and have done Davis dam to Parker on PWCs and probably 5 miles down Parker at one time or another. Doing a Catalina run with the group 7/13. First time to there. Excited

Nice ski and love all your accessories! Keep up the narratives for sure and the music too. Lake Mead has been my go to for 24 years now. I don’t fish, I just sun and swim and sun some more. Anyway, the dam making Lake Mead … you could have made one last turn for a full cool view of the dam from down below. I think you’d have really enjoyed the size and overall experience of being so close to it. There’s a line with many bobbers that let you know, you can’t go any further. You were SO close! 😊 That view looking up at the dam from Black Canyon is awesome. Keep up the fun videos!
