Boulder Beach Is Back - Lake Mead Water Is Up !!

[@daniel385]

Water's up! Great news. Keep the water coming!

[@debbiekelsey5529]

Do you know what I would like to see you do is have a video of you camping overnight and just show us what you do when you are camping and what you have to eat. I would love it to go along with your other adventuring.

[@desertrose9499]

Water looks better a little bit anyway. I miss the old days when the lake was full. Everyone loved to go out to the Marina and feed the fish 🐟

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! Another " BEAUTIFUL DAY"!!! "LOVE THE SOUTHWEST "!!!

[@kathy0698]

Brings back memories! Remember spending many a day at Boulder Beach, and swimming where you are walking.

[@lloydbaker6988]

Hey, Hey, RVerTV Russ,Bolder Beach ,YEA To Cool For School. 👍

[@dylanreynolds8264]

Is nice to see boulder beach back russ See you at roberts stream

[@LLC273]

Nice that the campground has some trees.

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Gas went up 16 cents overnight where I'm at, I don't know if I'm going to make it to the desert southwest in November. Nice looking campgrounds. Safe Travels

[@nooksandcrannies9871]

I love watching your videos. Have you been to Echo Bay lately. We were there at this time last year. Crazy how low the water was from my previous visits. We drove from Vegas to St. George, then down along Lake mead towards Echo bay and Valley of the Fire. Amazing scenery. I’d love to go back to camp and explore more. Thanks for the videos.

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Those palms looked happy.. back to the days of Ester Williams. Thanks again … got me wistful of getting a road trip

[@Go4Corvette]

That looks like a used railroad car wheel they used as weights. Have fun, Russ. Take care, Mike

Great news for Lake Mead.

[@keithbalke6352]

All gone on 30days

[@raymondrivera617]

When I was there 51 years ago, all of that was underwater. The lake was huge. Where we camped, it wasn't far from the water.

[@dawnr9158]

Hi Russ! Good to see you. 😃

[@ksr1177]

Great video Russ. When I was young we use to camp at that camp ground all time and launch our boat there and the marina was also nearby. The water was just a short distance away. Thanks again for video and look forward to the next one.

[@johnlenart597]

Even though the water levels are still low it's nice to see some greenery. Hopeing for a good monsoon season. Still a monumental time for the desert area. Glad you could share it with us. Too old for school, but still cool.!!! 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@breathedeep]

Weird to imagine that where you walked used to be high level water line. 😮😮

[@earl2688]

Lake Mead water level is 5 ft. above where it was 2 months ago, but more than 20 ft. below where it was this time last year and 40 ft. below where it was 2 years ago.

Thank you, looks like a nice area for some winter camping, live in Colorado and love the big open west landscapes.

[@jimp.7286]

I remember camping in boulder beach campground about 83. Water was around a hundred feet or less walk past the trees. Looks like you'd do a serious hike to get to it now. Sure looks different.

[@Scrambler85]

That is a beautiful campground 👍

[@Yormsane]

I hope you'll take us on a tour around the cool downtown of Boulder City, Russ. Since the through traffic was diverted along I-11, it's so much quieter and more enjoyable than 'back in the day'.

[@RockyRacoon123]

You should come to northern Minnesota. The camp sites are in the forests & you can’t see your neighbors. And listen to the wolves howling while watching the Northern Lights.

[@vintagesavoiur]

And still low on rainfall for years

[@Cyfi71]

Hey Russ, that anchor you saw was a rail car wheel with the axle off.

Hi Russ! Beautiful here in southwest Missouri, too!

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!!

[@MountainFisher]

In 1956 Russ the Lake dropped near that low, then climbed back up. 1983 is when it went over the spillway. Lake Havasu is where Los Angeles has its intake like Vegas does, I guess that's why they keep Havasu so full. Colorado River Aqueduct starts there. You ever go look at the lakes on the other side of the water lines out of Havasu Russ? Get in a campsite next to someone who doesn't know how to build a fire without smoking everyone out.

[@chuckstith838]

The Phoenix intake is just on the other side of lake Havasu in the Bill Williams channel

[@MountainFisher]

@@chuckstith838 I remember it from an old Huell Howser video on the LA Aqueduct. Huell also took a boat out on the other lake created from the pipeline.

[@stephend.mixell2042]

Nice little side trip. Beautiful day and thanks for the ride, Russ. Take care.

[@timlabell]

Great video as usual thank you Hey I was wondering how do I get the video of you going in the river boat to the Davis dam how do I find that 1

[@jroar123]

I don’t know where you are but if you do head down to Laughlin and Bullhead City, take a look around Searchlight. However, it is a notorious speed trap. Because of the rains, I am not sure you can go over Christmas Tree Pass. It’s on the map and there are pictographs to see in the area. Once you finish the dirt road ride, it will put you on the road for Laughlin.

[@GratefulOverlander]

You really should search his old videos before you recommend something that he has done numerous times, lol... That, and Laughlin is north of him, not south

[@SmittyAZ]

@@GratefulOverlander Laughlin is north of Lake Mead? Or, do you mean when he is 'home' in Q?

[@jroar123]

@@GratefulOverlander Hold on, he said he needed to get his van worked on in Henderson and he was at Lake Mead in his video. He also mentions going down to Bullhead City on his next video. I was just mentioning interesting points along the way. Is this an old video and he’s someplace else? And, to anyone making the same trip, most out-of-town visitors would enjoy Christmas Tree Pass. That and making a side trip to Oatman, Arizona (watch out for the wild donkeys). That and possibly going to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. To get there you take the exit in Williams. Williams has a place called “The Bakery” right across the street from a Mexican Restaurant that has the best Pie anyplace. Well worth the stop. Also in the evenings, Williams closes off the Main Street to reenact old Cowboy gun fights.

[@tommurphy9278]

Hello Russ great video, how do you use your senior pass online do they ask for a number?

[@chuckstith838]

Las Vegas returns 93 percent of the water it takes from the lake. Yea sure it does.

[@vanlifeonthego6684]

Generators and dogs barking, sounds like something we'd say. Yet this campground we will use and have several times. Hate to advertise it but it's only $10 if you have a Lifetime Senior Pass. We have a 2022 Travato with Lithium, so we don't need any hookups but at least these have water. Even though we sleep with a loud fan running, we still normally avoid campgrounds. This one however is very quiet, and the host seem to be on top of things when it comes to quiet times. In terms of campgrounds, these have some of the most privacy and distance from each space. Quiet a few have shade at some point during the day with a few that have some all day. We have family in Boulder City and even though their neighborhood HOA isn't that strict, our family is weird about how long we park at their house. Gives us a nice getaway when visiting and we love this area.

[@bambamrv8287]

Lake Mead again? Have you considered visiting other states?! Summer would have been a good time to make run cross country to all the Northern states up into Maine and then head back West through Central States; I don’t know but I keep seeing your thumbnails wishing you’d go see America so I could go along. I get enough Arizona from CVK and his crew!

Mind boggling on many levels. The vastness Low levels of water The many campsites available etc. Question ... with the exceedingly low level of water why aren't the authorities removing boat wrecks etc as it would be the right thing to do ? Also, why no metal detecting permitted ?

[@shepdogsd]

Re millions of gallons going to vegas: Nevada is only allotted 4% of the Colorodo, and WE DON'T EVEN USE ALL OF THAT!!! ...remember Clark county recycles 99 percent of INDOOR water (unlike California cities). It goes right back into Lake Mead. 40% of the water we take is indoor use. Most of the colorodo goes to farms in imperial and riverside counties and Arizona. SOURCES: "Southern Nevada Water Authority" and "Colorodo River Compact". P.S. Las Vegas will NEVER "run dry" unless the colorodo essentially dries up. Our intake to Lake Mead is BELOW DEAD POOL. So that means the water hogs won't get their water, leaving plenty left over for Vegas.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

Nevada does *NOT* use “millions and millions of gallons of water a day” from Lake Mead. First of all, of the 3 states and Mexico that get water from there, Nevada is allotted the least BY FAR: _Annual water allotment given in acre feet:_ -California: 4.4 million acre feet of water allotted per year. _(usually exceeds the amount of water they are allowed to take)_ -Arizona: 2.8 million acre feet of water allotted per year. _(frequently, but not always, exceeds the amount of water they are allowed to take)_ -Mexico: Mexico and America have a treaty stating that America must ensure that Mexico gets *at least* 1.5 million acre feet of water allotted per year to Mexico. _(Mexico is entitled to go over the 1.5 million allotted, as the treaty states America must provide AT LEAST 1.5 million acre feet of water, so Mexico’s allotment is actually 1.5 million or more acre feet of water)_ -Nevada: 300 *THOUSAND* (NOT millions) acre feet of water allotted. _(Never goes over the amount of water it is allotted, typically has extra water to spare, which California usually ends up getting)_ Also note that Nevada (Las Vegas) recycles water used in homes, treats it and redistributes it back to homes & some of the Las Vegas strip is provided water by an underground aquifer and doesn’t take or affect water in the Lake at all. *Note: an acre foot of water equals approximately 325,000 gallons of water,* and Nevada uses less than 300,000 gallons of water from the lake a day, NOT “millions and millions of gallons” as you stated. By contrast, California uses approximately 4 millions gallons of water a day, Arizona uses around 2.5 million gallons a day and Mexico used around 1.2 million gallons of water a day.

The RV park is very pricey, about $900 a month with no real amenities. I asked them why so much and they said because they're "walking distance" to the lake. What a joke

@@MudDuck I guess I'll have to play it. At least I have a chance of getting the spot I want, but if someone moves in next door with a contractor generator, no moving. Too bad LVB doesn't have any FCFS sites. Boulder does.

[@MudDuck]

Yep. I used to spend 3 weeks there in November & April. My travel is very unpredictable and found Lake Mead a good stopping point between Idaho & Quartsite. Guess I will have to plan more. Weekends always fills up so getting a linger term spot will be out probably.

@@MudDuck I'm a Quartzsite guy too... also Salton Sea

Maybe it's reservations only because they can't get a real human to work and stay there full time...
