Lake Mead: recent news says the water gain is up 50 ft but "only buys them a year". Other news say a super El Nino may bring more wet weather across the southern US hopefully helps. Can't imagine what would happen to the California/Nevada/AZ population if it does go dry.

Lake Shasta water level is up to its tree line, first time I’ve ever seen it full. Am sure Gavin has the dam gates wide open, to drop the level, to keep whining for fed drought bucks. Fair Winds.

Hooray for rising water in the big lakes and Colorado River. Great for drought relief but the agencies involved in water distribution still must be careful to save what is left for the coming drier years.

Thanks a lot, Russ. That brought back a lot of memories from my raft trip down the Colorado through the Grand Canyon in 1972. At the time, we were living in Santa Barbara so we took the train from there to the south rim of the Grand Canyon and hiked down the Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch, where we caught the raft for a four day trip out. In those days the rafts were a lot smaller, accommodating only nine people per raft. The trip cost $160 per person and they furnished everything including all the food. All you had to bring was your sleeping bag. We also brought lightweight tube tents we could crawl inside when going through rapids. I have sent you a link to that album, in case you want to see it.

There's a saying : "Have you hugged a tree today ?" ... Not a thing you should do with a Yucca or a Joshua Tree ! LOL ! Now these are beautiful desert vistas you have captured. Excellent video, Russ !! Like you, I marvel at any place new I discover during my journeys, I remain a kid and a discoverer at heart ! P.S. I just sold my 5-ton Ford RV. I had it for 22 years but everything has to come to an end one day. Now I'm traveling lighter in a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, smaller inside but much less expensive to run and maintain. Maybe a trip to the Southwest this year, God willing. Rafting on the Colorado River, not for me though !! RICHARD

The Joshua Tree forest is looking a lot better than last year, that's for sure. There's another really impressive forest in the Cima Dome area of the Mojave Preserve. I like the idea of the Grand Canyon Skywalk but the cost (around $60 total I think) and and photo prohibition has kept me away. One Colorado River spot that's really worth a visit is Lees Ferry in Marble Canyon. I know you've visited the bridge over the river there--I highly recommend a side trip to see the balanced rock formations and where the they put in the rafts for tours down the river through the Grand Canyon.

Thanks Russ for all your videos. I'm waiting to make my move back to Arizona and it helps watching your beautiful videos. Moving back after a long stay and Colorado. The closest I am to the Colorado River is 60 miles away in Grand Junction. The river that is here in Montrose, the Uncompahgre, comes off the San Juan mountains and after it reaches here, it goes on to Delta and dumps into the Gunnison which makes the trip up to the Colorado in GJ. Glad to see the water levels coming up. Our river here is full and running fast.

This video sure brings back some memories. I like to go out on those roads to get away from the silliness that is Las Vegs on my Vegas trips. I rafted the Grand Canyon with a private charter group using Western River Expeditions as concessionare in '92/93. I would love to see them disassemble everything and load into the trailer. The jet boat extraction company was (still is?) located in Meadview. They will go as far upriver as Separation Canyon then transfer passengers and duffle bags and jet boat out to here. The fact there are two buses tells me more groups are coming out that day, plus the jet boat is still there (drone footage) for that purpose. I suppose that is what the fuel truck is for that you mentioned. Makes sense for multiple extractions per day; two 350 hp or so motors going quite a few miles up and back would really suck up the gas.

@supersami7748 Жыл бұрын

Russ if you had been here (Meadview) one week later on Memorial Day Weekend you would have seen dozens of boats (big ones at that) on the lake. The boating activity has increased drastically in the last few months.
