    Personal memoriesfrom Thanksgivings long time past. Childhood in the early sixties, would see all our camping gear packed into our 16' Glaspar. After a trip from Corona, east of L.A., across Davis Dam (yes, I remember that) to Katherine landing. After the boat went into the water and a lunch in the cafe, we set out up the lake (with barely enough room for Mom, Dad, and 3 kids) maybe ten miles or so. After finding a fairly flat section of shoreline, the boat was beached, the tent was pitched, and a long weekend of fishing, swimming and exploring was had. I often wonder, with everything now in the ownership of the U.S. Guvment, if that is still allowed?
    Luv your vids!

There sure is a lot of spots to see north of where you left off. What temps are you having right now. I’m loving that all the places you have been to lately do not seem to have a lot of visitors. Something to keep in mind when I start my traveling.

    Hey Russ a great one as always! That pass you came thru on 68 is named Union Pass. The other side of the road from you stopped at (free BLM) used to be a tiny "settlement" that was owned by an enterprising mom and pop that had a fuel and water stop. It was water first and hay for the team. Later in the teens or 20's they built a Conico (?) gas station and a small motel. Like 3 or 4 rooms. Pretty cool place to explore. They even had apple trees. Glad to see Mojave was holding her own tho you could see a little bath-tub ring around it. Just a little. First time across that dam for me was 1977. Memories....

    I do love the drive on the 68 through the pass there. Just beautiful prestine mountains untouched from the days of mining there and still in the condition they are from thousands of years of rain, hail, snow, wind, heat and cold. Natural areas
    (compared to the hills that have been dug, caved in and the sides removed of Cochise County on the other side of the state)

    This water level is scary!
    I was in the river a month ago with the seado and hit a "sand bar" or maybe closer to say a "rock bar" but, in the dead center of the river I got off the do, stepping in the ankle deep water to pull the do off the rocks.
    There are many of these "islands' that one has to keep an eye out constantly in the Bullhead area, south of the casinos.
    It is scary to think what's going to be in the future especially as they empty Lake Powell and I I heard even lake Mead to have the river continue as it did a century ago, no lake only the river running through. CRAZY!!!
