Really nice! You also went by an old set from the show Gunsmoke on Johnson Canyon road just a mile or so in from hwy 89. It is quite dilapidated, but enough structures are there to see a bit. I haven't been there for a few years now. There are a few vids on youtube that show it if you want to see it.

Wild thing is is that flashfloods can come in from many miles away, to an area where it isn't raining even, as he says in the video.

Good fun. Happy Fishing 🎣

I really would like to know what made you decide to become a greater on KZfaq, what was your life like before? A video about your life would be interesting!

What a majestic place! Wonderfully filmed. I was hoping that you would have a picnic out there, just as in some other of your videos. Even though it is very windy to eat, but maybe it would have been even more interesting to try and have snack in these special conditions.

Great view of the Mittens

These flash floods are DANGEROUS AF.....Please watch these insightful videos and be prepared... before you have to learn the hard way.

Would a thermocell help with the mosquitoes here

I used to live on Charlie Nelson's Egg Ranch & I remember seeing some wild flash floods! The trail along Mill Creek going underneath US 191 was maybe 6 months old I think, and the trail Moab had just down from the park was fairly new as well. I was on a volunteer crew cleaning up the trail system down there. In some places the mud was horrendously deep! I think under us 191 it was around 2-3' deep in icky red mud.

After one year of use on several hiking and camping trips, my final thought on this is while it is innovative and has some advantages, the price ($34.50 on August 8, 2024) does not justify its purchase. You can make an alcohol stove for free. The price does not give enough value or utility much different from a conventional alcohol stove.

I thought at first this this was Moab in the ME.

Enjoyed your video! Moab is one of my favorite places to visit and explore.

Lived in Moab for seven years, it is a common occurrence. And life will go on!

Hey there, what a utterly beautiful pic !!!

0:33 You are not wet until your socks are soaked.

When it rains anywhere out there you should stay in a high ground area and not go down and stand on the bridge right over the flood waters. 🙄

Really beautiful there 😊

I'll be there Aug 11-13 2024, hope all this crazy shit is done already! Sorry to see the people of Moab have to deal with this again.

Only takes one time to leave the rain fly off and you will never make that mistake again! Ask me how I know too! 😂

First time camping?

Nature doesn't care that you put a town there. That river has been there for 50,000 years maybe. Humans are just an insignificant observer who's been there for a blink of an eye.

When I visited Moab in '93, most of those buildings, including motels along river, weren't there. I think there were only 3 motels, a hostel, and a few RV parks. Talk about paving paradise.

I can see it was posted on June 29, but when did this actually occur?

We were your neighbours at the Campground 😄! We arrived right bevor the storm and were just able to put up our tent. We wondered about the lonely tent next to us without a flysheet. We often slept without flysheet, twice we had to put up the rainfly in the middle of the night 😅 It was crazzy to see all the waterfalls coming from the rocks around the Campground. We only saw the damage in moab the next day.

NO WAY WOULD I EVER STAND ON OR NEAR A BRIDGE WITH THAT MUCH POTENTIAL OF WASHING OUT AND COLLAPSING. My friend, a flatlander, sat up a tent in a wash and went to dinner. When he returned the tent was inaccessible. His group of four slept in the Jeep that night😖. Luckily the tent survived too.

If you ignore the weather, it will remind you to pay attention next time.

I got married in Moab in a flash flood 😅

Just out of curiosity, what was the weather forecast that morning?

I must do this hike!! One for the bucket list.

That would be a perfect evening!

Nice video! Felt like I was along for the ride.

Is that muddy water, or is there poop in it? It seems really brown even though the sand and rocks all around are red.

I was at Moab when this happened! Poor tent campers around me!

The blue tarp under tent funneled water under the tent. Always keep the ground cloth (tarp) completely under the edge of the tent.

I just love this. I can't wait to explore the desert on my own.

That's a mild one. They have been way worse.

Thanks so much for sharing!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Wish people (usually foreigners 9/10 times...) would tell their stupid kids to STAY ON THE TRAIL and not go off trail and damage everything around places like these...

Great footage! Thanks for sharing

Is it bad for laughing at this

There is a missing Texan couple in Moab due to this flood.

Where is your trash bag pancho put tent on high ground duh

Los Angeles has a bunch of cement washes because of flash floods. Lately people don’t find cement washes ascetically pleasing so they argue to rip them out. Until the flash floods come again.

Love the scenery very beautiful and like your videos too

Thank you so much for sharing this experience! Now im going to check it out this summer

😱😱 nice rain and rainbows 👍👍 😱😱 see water like that be mind blowing 🤯🤯 that's beautiful 😍 flash flood 😯😲

Well I guess all this water ends up in Lake Powell, so, at least that's one positive aspect.

Ahhh, nature's soil redistribution system at work.

I just read about 2 tourists dying in a flash flood in Utah. Then I see more people standing filming water levels rising. We see tourists running from high ground to low ground. Then they are standing on a bridge which could wash away under their feet. I survived Katrina by seeking highest point in my county, in a fortified building. People who died were drowned in their homes, all storm surge, up to 12 miles inland. Moving water is deadly, 6 inches can sweep an adult off, a foot will carry off a small car. Flash floods are so unpredictable, so fast, yet tourists stand by FILMING what could be their final moments. So unnecessary and silly.

Thanks for posting this. I'd heard about the flash flood. I had been in central Utah at a camping meetup with a few other women. I was thinking about leaving a couple of days early to drive the three hours to Grand Junction to see a relative I hadn't seen in ages. But then, I couldn't bring myself to leave the idyllic location and get on I-70 for the 3 hour drive, so I didn't go after all. Something told me to stay put. Had I gone, I would have then headed over to Moab to make my way back to Arizona. I most likely would have been there during the flood. I'm really grateful I missed it. A flooded tent is a minor inconvenience compared to the fury of raging waters. I have never forgotten the Big Thompson Canyon flood in 1976 in Colorado that claimed many lives. A lot of people were camping in the canyon at the time and couldn't get out.
