Thanks Russ, I am I. My 70' now, I have spent my entire adult life in the four corners.thank you so much. do to age and heath I can't go to those places anymore.thank for your current update, on all those locations that I have visited
Over the past 40 years.Hard to see.If anyone thinks that global warming is false ,they must have brain damage.i am going to download these videos for my grandchildren.Thanks again!!
If the water keeps dropping, I'll bet you can get a super deal on one of those houseboats. Thanks for the tour Russ, take care, Mike
You mean former house boat, current tiny house?😆
Seriously doubt it’s an if at this point, the federal emergency disaster plan will probably drain and close Powell within 2 months… Probably be no more my the middle of next month… (July 2022 is the predicted time I believe)
Russell, If you return to Az via 89. Between Page and Kanab, you must stop at the old Paria town site. Rainbow hills everywhere. And take the short hike into Moon Valley. Like nothing you ever saw.
Dang. You are SO appreciated, Russ. Great video, informative 👍 great content and editing. Thank you.
Love watching the journey Russ - always feels like I'm riding down the highway with an old friend.
Yes, the riding along makes us FEEL like we are traveling, I love it.
Appreciate the quality of your video, sound and editing. It is good to see someone including maps - please give us more!
Hey , Hey, It's Our RVerTV Russ, Thanks again my friend for the Ride Along Today.👍
Hi Russ, enjoying "riding along" with you. We went to Lake Powell in 1989. As I'm watching this video, my mouth is wide open in shock. Thank you for filming - beautiful scenery.
God Bless, United States America , Russ , RVerTV Fans. Russ Too Cool 4 School. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Thank you Russ.
This drought will be unfathomable if it goes on for another 5-10 years. We need to start building a water pipe from the Mississippi!
Was a desert to begin with, we tried to make it into a garden, silly man, never learns! thank you, Russ ALL stay safe
Love love your travels and how you take us all with you! You let us see what we may never see! Thank you so much for letting us go with you! Excellent job Russ😍
Hello Russ, man oh man what in the world! So so scary with what’s going on. I wonder when this is going to affect Lake Havasu and the Parker Strip area(our favorite place) We decided to stay home this summer. I just don’t want to cave into paying so much for fuel. Thanks for all you do!
Heh Russ those lakes, Lake Mead and Powell have to be a worry for the govt. not to mention the businesses involved. Great drive again today. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I enjoyed this episode of Historic Lake Powell low water level.
Russ, be careful in those visitor centers. You don’t want to wind up behind glass with the other fossils 🤣.
What a shame to see Lake Powell like that. We will not see it full again anytime soon. Great video Russ.
There is no hell. That's another scare tactic that religion uses.
My Husband and I enjoy your travels.
You sure are spoiling us Russ! Do love that you show a map, your route, the drone views and narrate. Keep on RV'ng!
I think you're planning to use this as a gift someday for your daughter. Something to show her how you spent your years. I think your videos are AMAZING! There is so much AMERICANA, so much to learn, I just spent about 30 minutes explaining to my niece about how to get on RUclips and to look up rvertv, and how to type in especially your video on the copper museum and museum up in, believe it was Washington State that fancy museum but I wonder my niece is like 60 I'm 66 but I want her to get a good feel for all of these videos especially some of them the ones up in the mountains and the amazing little towns you videoed with look like the mountain was right in right in the center of the whole thing it's absolutely your videos are just gorgeous and I think we can all learn a lot from them. This is a modern day 2020s record of what the United States is like.
Wow!! Some serious camera equipment!! Marvelous scenery!! Keep up that good work!!
Thanks for another visit to Lake Powell and the Big Water Visitor Center, right in the middle of one of my favorite places in the whole country. Right across the way was where I used to store my Boat at Big Water. I used to stay at the Paria Movie Set Campground when it existed before going out on the lake for several weeks at a time, when there was a lake. But you know, by the late 1990’s it got too popular. I think I prefer it back to its natural condition and for one would just like to see the GC dam removed. I like the way it looked in your video. Nice and peaceful and not too crowded. It was a madhouse by 2000. You think those houseboats are large? While camping Memorial Day 2001, a rear paddle wheel houseboat of about 75’ or more along with a rouges gallery of several ski boats came and pulled up and beached within 2 feet of my 2252 Cierra and dwarfed it. They pulled my sand anchors out and pushed my boat out and began to over run my camp site until I stopped them. They then threatened me with bodily harm. That was a mistake as I work for the military and was capable of protecting myself. When they realized threats wouldn’t work and they had created a toxic, poisonous atmosphere with me and couldn’t ever stay there at that point, they eventually compromised and left w/o incident. I had contacted the marine police and was surprised when they came to hear from a Policeman you could have/should have shot them on the spot. Stand your ground. In over 45 years of traveling and camping in the west, those (rich?) knuckleheads remain the biggest jerks I ever ran into.
You probably have some great pictures and stories to tell?
It could have turned out worse. Body in a barrel
WHOA! So shocking to hear stories like this.
I love seeing your adventures.. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe:)
Thanks for watching!
Sad sight indeed. Thanks for the trip and Safe Travels
I had to subscribe to your channel cause you make me feel like I'm riding with you on vacation cause I need one I love to travel I wished I could but you make it interesting enough for me.
Russ can’t get enough of your adventures🤗 Ty
Great video! Your videos were a lifesaver to me during covid lockdown! Possibly during these gas prices now too! Your videos are so very appreciated! Thank you so very much!
The houseboats are kind of cool but boy had to really be expensive having one of them now but really enjoy your videos Russ keep up the travels
Beautiful Utah. Art of Mother Nature Sand paintings. Hello lake Powell! Home town Page, Az.
appreciate the simplicity of these videos, just a basic adventure to exactly where the thumbnail shows.
Russ always has a very informative ride along. Keep it up.
Great videos, Been at Lake Powell Autumn 2016. Amazing area. At that time already quiet low levels of water but now even more lower...
Scooby would've needed about five years to work that bone down, Russ.
Thank you for the ride along. Might still make that annual family camping trip
Thank you for taking us a long
I have visited this area a few times, this is very shocking to see the current conditions you have posted! Thank you!
Thankyou for takeme yo this Places...love.
Awesome I like watching your videos
Yes, that Hwy 89 is a beautiful ride along with scenic views. Like all those fossils. Thanks. 🙂👍
Something poetic about the desert reclaiming itself! Nature is giving the big old middle finger to man! LOL
Great front seat view, nice scenery and steady screen shot. Thanks for sharing. Video like this really helps people who can’t physically there but missed those wide open desert trips. Let’s play for some heavy winter storms coming and fill them up soon. Have a safe trip!
Thanks Russ..so sad to see the lack of water..But, it may turn around! We can only hope! I so appreciate your adventures.
Hey it's a desert what do you expect it looks pretty cool to me be thankful for what you have
Currently at lake Mary top side no water watched your lake mead episode. And I knew you were headed to Lake powell used to live in Page, just following fun thank-you. Oh yes I am an Arizonan too. Born in scottsdale.
Several years ago my neice and her husband lived in Phoenix(sp?) AZ. She had to go up to Long Island, NY to finish her medical degree and training. They are so glad she was able to get a place in San Antonio, TX since they both wanted to be in the desert south and they'll move in a few months.
Hey I couldn’t write when I watched the one on Hoover dam thanks that was so amazing
Lovely, 😍. You'd think lots of boats would push up the water level (haha). Be safe .
Russ, it's sad to see no water. I have seen ponds bigger than the lake.
Utah was a great choice to go to! So beautiful!💕🏜️
Russ, I just saw a news snippet that told of a huge rock slide where part of the cliffs fell into Lake Powell on Memorial Day near the Warm Creek area. Due to low levels of the water. Just thought I would let you know.
Wish I had gone to Lake Powell years ago 🥺 How sad. How long before its completely dry? I like your attitude "make the best of it" stay positive. I believe in making the best of things....because this is all weve got. Thanks Russ for taking us on the road. Always an adventure.
Thanks Russ!
Thank you for making this interesting video 👏👍
🙋Hello Russ! Beautiful scenery. All those iceburgs calving, & breaking away, you'd think someone could get one for each of the lakes. Tourism would drop. Campground looked nice 👍
Somewhere south of Big Water Visitor Center.someone erected a mysterious stainless steel obelisk, similar to the ones in the film 2001 A Space Odyssey. Only instead of it being pitch black, it was shiny silver. It was in a small canyon in a very remote area. No one has figured out how they got it there. Helicopter perhaps ? After it caused enough mischief, they moved it someplace else.
Wow! You are not that far from me! I'm on Johnson Canyon. Maybe I will see you around here one day!
Awesome trip Russ, thank you so much!!
Love your videos thankyou so much for doing this
The water will never ever recover I believe it will dry up in my lifetime. Tragic
I live in Northern Ut. I spent my childhood vacationing at Powell. It's 145 feet down. It's at 30% capacity at best. We used to fish in 400 feet of water for stripers. It's absolutely horrible now!
Oh Russ that’s so sad the state this mighty lake has become, I’ve spent whole day fishing here in 2006 had great time exploring different outlets what was a great place , and now it’s just a puddle ,
😂sad . Keep trucking Russ 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for the ride Russ! I so appreciate seeing these videos. Wonder what is causing all the lakes to drop? Here in Northern Wisconsin, I have a fairly large pond in my back yard where there was none for 37 years.
Hi Lucy, to answer your question, the American West is experiencing a mega-drought that’s the worst in 1,200 years. Reduced rain and snow, and regional temps getting warmer, like all over the globe.
Liked Grand Staircase center indoor exhibit so much got caught up and thought you were heading towards the bat caves in New Mexico! Lake Powell must have been the absolutely fabulous; still is scenic.
Hi Russ are you going to Monument Valley you will love it ......safe travels 😊
Nice campground
Seeing the dinosaurs made me think what if this happened to our Loch Ness and those prehistoric monsters that survived a multitude of ice ages could not hide any more?
Your videos are so great! I´m from Brazil and like to suggest to show us new locals like these in northeast Nevada (Wells, Winnemucca, Lovelock, Gerlach, etc) and western´s Utah, like West Wendover. Appreciate it!
Nature always wins, going back to nature.
We were there a year ago April. Wow sure had dropped the water level since then. Love your videos thank you very much!
Between Kanab and Fredonia, there are so many Beautiful things to see. Have to get off the road a bit, but, there's a lot of movies filmed through there. The little house in the end of "The Outlaw Jose Whales", is not far off the main road. Across from the old "Buckskin Tavern". That's also, where we found an old straw hut. It was still intact. There were dinosaur footprints that were big enough to sit in, somewhere along that highway, on the same side as the "Buckskin Lodge and Tavern. I heard that it burned down, but, everyone still knows where it was. Might have rebuilt by now. Happy Travels!
We used to be able to see the water from like a hundred miles away!
Didn't you see any of those 2-ton chicken roaming the countryside near Grand Escalante ... LOL ? Good for us all the dinosaurs disappeared eons ago ! The road up Grand Escalante is one of the loneliest in America, scary at times so much so it is narrow and the escarpment steep (Devil's Backbone notably). From Page, you can drive up to Kayenta and then to Monument Valley to see the Mittens. Most beautiful spectacle is at sunrise ! There used to be a campground at Monument Valley but the Navajos built a new Hotel where the campground was. Lake Powell is the "headwaters" of the Grand Canyon, on the Colorado River circuit. Powell was one of the surveyors who made the first topographical maps of the Grand Canyon. Nice video, as always ! RICHARD
Yes just wish I could do that but with the gas prices and going up yeah and the fact that I would have to go out of my comfort zone lol I'll just watch your videos and dream. Be safe out there my friend.
Beautiful area, need to visit sometime, thanks for sharing.....
Just think what it would look like if they didn't limit water going into lake Mead.
Been there a few times before. It sure looks different.
Everything is expensive now.
Lake Powell is returning to its former glory, the Colorado River.
Glen Canyon, a flooded canyon going back to a green beautiful Canyon
Russ, this may be a little political and you can delete if you wish. My first trip to Powell was in 1969 with my wife on a western tour in our car, tent camping as we went along. We camped there in June and the wind was awful. We put as much in the tent as possible and did the dam tour to get out of the wind. 1976 was the start of our boating life on Powell. We have been there almost every year since; only missing a few. We would spend one to two weeks every year camping at Lone Rock beach with family and friends. Incredible memories for all. Our kids grew up there and it is in my Will that my ashes will be spread at Lone Rock beach. I would like to point out that Bill Clinton in 1996 created Grand Staircase Escalante and did not have the guts to step into the state of Utah when he signed the bill. It was signed at the Grand Canyon. I do not think he has ever been in Utah. This took millions of dollars from the Utah schools and jobs from the people of Utah. Lake Powell is Heaven on Earth to me and my family and many others.
I'm on the verge of inventing Rain, that's the GOOD news. The bad news:
it'll PROBABLY take me until the end of June.
What a shame to see our lakes drying up!
Looks like we haven't seen the last of Hite, Utah, after all!
Well I can tell you where all the water is.... I just spent over 30 days of non-stop rain driving through Oregon and then 2 weeks in Washington State. Not ideal when living in an RV with a big dog and a cat. Never saw so much rain in my entire life
Have you stopped at the Navajo Bridge? I just visited there. Condors.
I wonder if that lake will ever fill again...
👍Thanks.
Hate to say, many years ago some old timer said, "ONE day nature will reclaim the land'.
Residents in the SW need to understand its time to sell their homes, property and businesses before they become worthless.
I'd be scared I'd roll into the lake
What area does Lake Powell offer for water? I know coming from Lake Mead and living now my life we offer water to Las Vegas California Utah Arizona and Mexico. What water does Lake Powell service to
When all those houseboats are on dry land, I will go out there for pictures. The water will never return.
Those boats are impressive!
This is what happens when huge cites like Las Vegas of 2 million people live in the desert where it does not have much rain. People living where under normal circumstances could not live.
Hi total shock the water level so low.sad.need rain
Hey Russ!!! "BEAUTIFUL SCENERY " keep looking for "THE WATER"!!!
Always!
Can you tell me where has all the water gone I would love to fish out there that's for sure.
They are finding dumped bodies out there since the water level has gone down
SOMEBODY STOLE THE LAKE!
Sure looks a lot different from when I was there in 1989. I worked at Bullfrog Marina.
There should have been drastic measures taken 5/10 years ago, now some people will have to leave the area once taps don't run anymore. I remind everyone that empty water systems develop bacteria very rapidly.
Just wondering if you ever been to Bear Lake
It be a good time to go metal detecting there.
Nice
