[@erikandreassen6531]

Thank you for the journey, due to ill health (been for a while) medication and age I can't travel, in fact I'm also limited in my own country (New Zealand) due to not being able to drive due to medication. So watching you (especially full-screen) takes me to a place I can't go in person. So thank the internet and you tube but most of all thank you for showing me a huge chunk of your country. Keep on trucking and I'll keep watching.

[@Yormsane]

Many thanks for a great guided tour Russ, your commentary and drone sequences are always so informative. I suspect many of us watching from chilly northern climes would love to spend the winter down there!

[@paul9156c]

Me my Dad, Cousin and Uncle watched the Parker 400 Enduro motorcycle race in around 1970. The last time I was there. It's where I learned to ride a motorcycle. Very good memories! 👍

[@kevinp2820]

Hello Russ! So good to see the Parker Strip and the Colorado River water level is looking good. We are members of Emerald Cove RV Resort have been for 16 years. Love that place. Yeah it's older but very enjoyable to stay at. Great people and the best food at the Tiki Bar and club house. We will be headed there in a few weeks. Thanks for whetting my appetite! Lol!

[@robertjean659]

Great drive Russ. Thanks 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@lloydbaker6988]

Hey, Hey, It's RVerTV Russ, Hey Russ let's head up to Parker. To Cool For School. 👍

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "GREAT DAY " for a "DRIVE "!!! Be Safe!!!

[@brendaseverns9704]

You've got my husband saying "cool" & "check it out" and then he laughs. 😄 He's been binging your channel! We really enjoy your explorations. Thank you! 😁

[@ksr1177]

Never get tired of seeing that beautiful river so many great memories. We always saw the wild donkeys in the evening maybe because it was cooler. Another great video Russ thanks again.

[@johnwagner8132]

I was a driver for Airborne Express, this was on my route along with Parker, Big River, Quartzite, Blythe, and all points in between! It was the best job I ever had!!!

[@IDNHANTU2day]

Russ, this is funny. I was in Parker today. Went to check out some of the places you suggested. Went up to the Dam, some of the floating bars on the river, Bill William's Refuge, BlueWater resort. As I drove on the 95 I wondered if I would come across you and your White Mother Ship (now that you have an E-Bike). Last night I stayed in the London Bridge area at one of the resorts. Had a nice dinner and great walk with my wife. The area is fantastic. Just got home to the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. I drove my EV and discovered Range Anxiety is a waste of time. They have chargers everywhere. I'm hoping to go to Oatman and feed the Burros before it starts to get really cold. Thank you for all the tips.

[@mikeswales7839]

Another nice video without the hordes. Thanks!

[@allensalisbury]

Parker dam is the deepest dam in the world. I started going to the Parker strip in 1960. My folks leased a trailer at Echo Lodge on "A row" in the 70's. Great memories.

[@jesscarey7666]

Great job as always Russ! Thanks!

[@vrm86gt]

love the Colorado! we will be back for a visit in January!

[@maryblackburn7204]

There was a burrow on the driver's side of the road. Just before you said, there's the sand duns, the burrow was standing by the white blocks on the side of the road in the shade.

[@jamesmoyamoya1978]

Very cool. Thanks for the tour

[@larryjohnson6398]

Nice to see clear skies we're up here up in Washington and it's really smokey from all the forest fires have a great day Russ we enjoy watching you be safe

[@americaunboxed1449]

I drove up through Parker and Lake Havasu yesterday on my very long drive home from Peoria to Roseville, CA. Beautiful area along the river there.

[@desertrose9499]

Love your videos. So peaceful and relaxing. I miss being out on the road. Your videos make me feel like I am riding shotgun to all these wonderful places. Thanks Russ! 👍

Hi, Russ. I enjoy your videos, always entertaining. You mentioned Burros, you drove by one on this video, around 18:14 on the video, and I think he was looking at you. 👍 Happy Trails!

[@jtrojan]

Nice to see you back on the road. Enjoy your videos. southern Nevada, Arizona and Southern California have the mild winter weather to entice the snow birds who enjoy it.

Thanks Russ! Enjoyed seeing The Mighty Colorada River and your memories of bringing Scooby 2 to swim in it! I wish you could get a Scooby 3 and create new memories! I wish we could have seen a burro or two though! Come back here again this year in 2024!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙🐎🐕‍🦺🐺

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍Hello Russ! Beautiful day to ride out to see Crossroads Campground. Offered some nice places to camp along the Colorado River. The sun sparkling across the top of the river, the tables, kindly welcome you in. Beautiful blue body of water. Nice place to enjoy riding a e-bike. The aerial view shows how enjoyable trails for ATVs are follow. Enjoy the rest of your evening Russ. Have a good week.

[@gaylandbarney2231]

[@maryelmaguire3161]

You past the government camp my family I use to live at. They put a fence and tore down the houses and Parker grade school. I use to go to that post office all the time. There use to be a little grocery store which we would go to.Spent hours on the river and crossed over the dam hundreds of times for 5 years. My dad use to be apower plant operator there. The hippies use to love this area.

[@susanstrickland6774]

That's a really nice drive. Nice campground. Exceptional drone footage, so clear. Such a neat train bridge. Good to see Parker dam, nice piece of history. 🙂👍

The river and the weather are the beauty of that area , The landscaping not so much. Most people are there for the temps. And great to go out and tear up the ground on a ATV.

That looks so inviting. Nice tour around and with the drone really get to see way out there! I’m guessing not every radio was tuned to David Bowie’s Let’s Dance … otherwise I’d hope you get a few days stay out there!

[@Dweezyxd]

How’s the weather down there Russ cause I’m planning to go to this place here soon so I can do some camping and fishing

[@alexshatzko1381]

lots of snowbirds from the edmonton and calgary alberta that go south and some from bc

Yeah that great big canal that goes from just above Parker dam headed towards California actually it's going to lake Matthews the canal has been dry long time remember last time you were there it was dry all the canals coming off of the Colorado River in California a very very low especially the one that goes to Indio Coachella valley canal

Big Bend Resort has a restaurant on the water; it's behind the store that's usually closed. It's a breakfast and lunch spot and was closed for several years. Decent Pizza...

I love your editing Russ. Do you have a special editing program you use? Thank you

[@richardl.7390]

Crossroads Campgroung looks a lot like the campground south of Bombay Beach along the Salton Sea on US Rte 111 in Southern California. I stopped there twice in 2017 and 2018 in July and it was gawdawful HOT. I was literally alone in the campground but the Ranger made me pay full price for a site with no commodities. California is expensive and the personnel is rude towards visitors. Anyway I love your videos ! CHEERS ! RICHARD

Great video I've been wanting to go there absolutely gorgeous

[@rvertv]

sounds like you have a great plan. Can get snow in flagstaff. be careful

[@Zulutime44]

Interesting. I compare this to what I saw there in 1967-68, over 50 years ago. Parker and the AZ strip up to the dam are 10 times the size in population and built environments. However, the northern stretch of the California side you drove through in this video looks pretty much the same as it did 50 years ago, semi-rural.

[@LoloKanosAdventures]

Checked online to make a reservation there at crossroads camp. Looks like they’re booked solid 😅

[@LandRoverDS2020]

Oh I miss the bright blue sky 😭 We are 1.56 a liter here in Canada so I think that converts to roughly 6.00 a gallon in your neck of the woods

For cross roads campground... did the sign say "no dogs allowed". I was thinking to staying there a few nights this coming Feb. but I have a dog. Thank you

[@SenatorBulworth]

Is the railroad bridge still in service, Russ? What railroad company? Since there is no industry around there, is the only employment tied to recreation (or government)? Is Lake Havasu becoming more popular than Lake Mead?

[@Scott_Bee]

The bridge is still in service. See the train crossing weekly.

[@SmittyAZ]

Needles (BNSF) and Parker (AZ-CA) have a Railroad presence and Needles (BNSF) has the Amtrak. There are some Industries scattered throughout the area.
