Russ...I hope you see this! I have been watching you for 3 years. Every time you took a ride and I said to myself...I want to go there...I write it down. For 3 years I have been writing down all the small and large towns/cities you brought me to that I liked. As I write this, I am in Arizona now in Novermber! I finally was able to get myself to AZ and I have gone to more than 20 spots! It is a great feeling to drive down the road and remember seeing it prior through your eyes. I would have never learned about these places if it was not for you and I love how I can afford to see these amazing places and not pay an arm and leg like one does in tourist traps and that is all because of your efforts and videos. Thanks so so much Russ for helping me accomplish one of my dreams.
Congratulations Russ!!!!! 100k, Time to get that fancy plaque. You have built an awesome channel and I have to say since losing my daughter in 2017 at 15 years old I have loved the easy-going demeanor of your channel. Always a nice relaxing time. Thanks my friend you've gotten me through some tough years.
So cool Russ about your silver play button 😂!!!!!!! My grandma lives in Kingman and I lived there a short time to right after I was born. We visit her every year and I love all the videos you do from there ☺️.
RockStar Russ! Love your content. So beautiful and educational. Your bumper music is all it takes to calm me knowing you are taking me on a narrated trip. I love all of those places you take us to near the Colorado. Stay safe and keep on trekking.
100K subscribers!!! I called it in a comment in your last video, I knew it would happen for you this week. Russ, Congrats my friend. That is a huge accomplishment. Even though I don't know you, I'm very proud of you and again thank you for all you do to show this beautiful Country. YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY 🇺🇸💙👍
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! When I started watching you had a little over 10K and I wondered from the start why you didn’t have more. What and how you run your channel is so different (and 100% better) from all the other channels I have tried to watch.
Hey Russ, congratulations on the 100 K and also when you first enter that campground the guy right there with the red SUV when I was down here a month ago, he threatened to kill me and that’s when I decided I would never come back to this area
Congratulations on your 100k you deserve everything Russ and thanks for always letting us tag along last couple years I've been able to travel much so I enjoy every trip you take thanks again
🍂🍁🙋Hello Russ! The aerial views are truly amazing with the various colors of browns, greens, & blues, that enhance the landscape. Sure are plenty of really nice spots to camp. Soon there will be visitors coming to fill up the empty places. I'd like to see more ATVers enjoying the trails out there. Very inviting area for ATVs. I liked going to Ehrenburg. Hope the State Department gets that sign fixed for future travelers. I wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for you. 👍🍁🍂
Good to see you Russ. As the saying goes: You learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know about that old cemetery. I enjoy taking that back road to Parker. Have a great winter season!
You done did it, AGAIN! You dug up an ancient memory! At 14:40, in your drone shot, there is that band of civilization across the river. That is an area known as the Colorado Riviera, basically a vacation mobile home park dating back to the (very) early sixties. Dad was among the first to buy a lot there, right on the river. I mean, we could step out the front door of the mobile home, walk about 75 feet, and our feet would be wet! It didn't last long, though. Dad, a rising dentist wanted to put a swimming pool in our Corona backyard, but decided that he had not yet reached the point for both a pool and the river home. He called us three kids and asked what we preferred. My older brother and sister both voted for the pool while I voted for the river. Final insult? Guess who got the chore of "pool maintenance"? Thanx, Russ, for the memory.
Russ & Viewers, the pipeline was built by E.P.N.G., El Paso Nat. Gas, in the early 60's. The headwaters of the pipeline are in Southeastern N.M. between Carlsbad and Wink TX. The original line was built from there to El Paso TX then years later onto agriculture canning facilities in Souther CA. which wanted gas for their canning plants. The workmen of the company pioneered techniques to dig and lay pipeline. They were West Texas tough men who had grown up on dust bowl farms, but found the work difficult as they approached the Colorado River. They were used to Rattlers and Heat, but not like the Blyth area. In the book El Paso Pipeliner, it told how the men arrived pre- dawn to patrol for the diamondback that had slid into the ditch during the night. Yet, it was the 115 degree heat which was more dangerous. The engineers had the bright idea of hiring local farmhands since they were used to the heat. As work started with the new hires, it went well until 4p.m. when they started to drop from heat stroke. In the recovery tent, the foreman asked why they did not handle the heat stress better. They quipped back, "we have lights on our farm equipment!" We do not try to tough our way through the scorching heat. We work at night. Yeah those folks are tough. That was a little history, but lets' move on to the pictured facility in the video, or plant. In the 50's & 60's, there would be a few small 2 bedroom rent homes on the grounds with sidewalks, play area such as basketball, tennis, swings, etc. for the employees. They were small communities sometimes up to 30 houses. The plant you showed would have huge compressors housed in those metal building to push the gas westward into CA. I thought I saw some towers used to treat the gas, and a "pigging" station used to send a plunger down the pipeline to clean it of fluid and scale which build up on the walls of the pipe. I will close with thank you for the video of the Colorado River and area like Havasu. You do a good job. The journey continues!
This will be my third year camping close to that area. Been camping in the dunes area (Gets Very Dusty During The Holidays). Did not know of the cemetery, I'll definitely check it out. Safe Travels and Congratulations
My wife is patently waiting for your walking tour of all the gem stones hopefully you can do a detailed video and upclose shots, she's really into that stuff. Don't disappoint Russ 😜 😂😂😂 Andrew
It’s a pumping station owned by TC Energy and a metering station owned by El Paso Natural Gas. I helped build (engineering and start-up) of the LNG plant at Topock Arizona.
Thanks for all that information Russ, this will be my first trip to Quartzsite and that's exactly what I was looking for... but how about you don't tell anybody else!
another great video Russ, since you share so much info I thought I could share a bit back. I'm a retired b pressure pipeline welder and the pipeline co is TC Energy formerly Trans Canada Pipeline. the big facility is a mainline compressor station with 2 compressor buildings. oh and congrats on the 100k from a newbie on your channel.
Ahhh, you're showing the folks our little secret, the great area and mobile home parks of Ehrenburg, lol! We traverse that part of the river a lot since we have a 2nd home (mobile home) out here! This is a boater's and four wheelers paradise. Yes, things are changing in Ehrenburg with the newest mobile home park for Snowbirds and RVr's opening any day now! Before too long, this place will become the next Parker with the changes. I predict it won't be an economical oasis on the river for much longer! Check it out!
About the No Trespassing signs...I camped at that group spot in 2020 with friends. We walked to the sub-station, and a road that ran along the west side of it. Someone had built a very impressive hut out of bamboo, but clearly on the fringe of their property. I imagine they are just fortifying their boundaries.
Russ, congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers. Been with you since, I think, about 30,000 on the counter. You've worked very hard to make this channel a success, and the number shows it. Kudos! By the way, did the new logo come with the milestone?
Sure is gorgeous out! Hope you catch some fall colors . Was hoping you’d get up to Toltec (so?)mountain area .. think train is popular . Congratulations again! Super work!
Good to see you received 100,000 subscribers Russ! Congratulations! Looks like it may not be the safest place to Camp along the river there. What do you think?
La Paz County Historical Commission thanks for the cemetery marker. Yes, Arizona's earliest cemeteries were constructed long before statehood and contain a large number of unmarked graves. Many of them are in mining towns that failed, where people came and (hopefully) left anonymously. There are groups around the state that study the graves and look for the names and histories of these people, many from the easternmost states like New York and Kentucky, etc.
Hi Russ. Its Bilk from Goodyear. We are coming down with our 25 ft trailer. Were would you recommend spending the night Sunday Monday night. We have no idea. Thank you. Bill&Debbie. Love the show.
I don’t have that answer. I went up over 5000 in elevation, I don't know how steep it is beyond that. It was getting dark and I turned around just before 6000 elevation.
Can you walk along the banks? You mentioned fishing. My dog loves the water and i would love to just find somewhere that i can take her where she can get in the water. It seems like a lot of the banks are full of vegetation and muck, and not anywhere that anyone could walk at all. Just wondering. Your drone shots are beautiful.
Debbie- At the first area he showed, there is a boat "ramp". There are a few spots where there is a sandy beach, and you can walk right into the river. I have swam there many times. Important to note: One side of this peninsula is stagnant, the other is swift-moving water.
Russ...I hope you see this!
I have been watching you for 3 years. Every time you took a ride and I said to myself...I want to go there...I write it down.

Thanks Russ for all the great travels. It's a shame I've missed so much thru Arizona just by staying on the freeway till reach my destination.

Congratulations !! & Thank You so much !!

Thanks for showing us the colorado / camping area!
Like your videos. I got waylaid in Laughlin for about two months. Your videos make me want to go back.
This will be my third year camping close to that area. Been camping in the dunes area (Gets Very Dusty During The Holidays). Did not know of the cemetery, I'll definitely check it out. Safe Travels and Congratulations
You taught me more about Ehrenburg than I thought I would hear. windy area oh yes it is
Great spot for fishing
We stayed for two Nights in 2017 directly at the Colorado River on this big Campground. Really great
Russ you popped up on my radar a few days ago & subscribed, Really enjoy your videos. Thank you kind sir
Good job! Wishing your channel the best.
My wife is patently waiting for your walking tour of all the gem stones hopefully you can do a detailed video and upclose shots, she's really into that stuff.
Don't disappoint Russ 😜 😂😂😂

thank you
I love your theme music..
Russ with another awesome tour!.. Thanks brother!
Excellent video Russ! I can't believe you didn't repair the sign for us 😅
That business is Morgan company. They build box trucks for Penske and Uhaul. I transport those to all over the west coast.
I was just camping there four days ago, one of my favorite camping spots.
Thank you Russ, I enjoyed this episode.
I like your videos, thank you.👍🏼☮️
You sure find some obscure and interesting stuff to share. Thanks for sharing.
Happy November. Congratulations on 100.000. Subscribers!!!!
It’s a pumping station owned by TC Energy and a metering station owned by El Paso Natural Gas. I helped build (engineering and start-up) of the LNG plant at Topock Arizona.

Hi Russ thank you for showing off this area. I’m going to visit it soon.
That big place is Morgan Corp, they build truck bodies for Penske, Ryder, etc. rental trucks.
Koo vid..helps lot..I know now like I was in the drivers seat..nice place and ur pretty koooo.....thanks

Missed that acres road last time I tried there and ended up at the boat launch??? Now I will know where to go!! Thanks

Went there last year and it was trashed. I almost started hauling trash. Can you do a video of the hippie hole. Heard there are adding pavilions.
Hi Russ. Its Bilk from Goodyear. We are coming down with our 25 ft trailer. Were would you recommend spending the night Sunday Monday night. We have no idea. Thank you. Bill&Debbie. Love the show.
Plomosa road is my favorite for boondocking
I love your name for McDonalds😀
I never go there. It’s just yucky.
I don’t have that answer. I went up over 5000 in elevation, I don't know how steep it is beyond that. It was getting dark and I turned around just before 6000 elevation.
Russ!!!!
Very interesting. Will you give me an interview when I get there?
Hey Russ, great information. Does the dirt roads along the Colorado River go all the way to Yuma ? Thanks
Ŵhy didn't you try to push the sign back upright?
Hey Russ. If I bring my side by side out to Quartzite, do I need to get an Arizona Off Road at the Fish & Game in Parker?
Great Video. Is there a place close to Quartzsite to obtain US Park pass
Lets go Russ
Nice , I was wondering what Edinburg looks like
Can you walk along the banks? You mentioned fishing. My dog loves the water and i would love to just find somewhere that i can take her where she can get in the water. It seems like a lot of the banks are full of vegetation and muck, and not anywhere that anyone could walk at all. Just wondering. Your drone shots are beautiful.

Have you ever found gold while metal detecting?
What’s gonna happens with severe water restrictions shortly???
Hu Russ how much does it cost to camp by the Colorado River where you were? Thank you
What kind of drone do you use?
Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers, it's been a long time coming. I subscribed when you were at 20,000.
Always a thumbs up 👍
its called morgans truck body shop they build moving trucks
what band does the music for the background on your videos ??
