Historic Take Off Point: - (Parker Dam) Lake Havasu

[@johnlenart597]

First we had Covid, then the Drought. Sure is nice to see water levels back close to normal. I guess a little prayer does work. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@rickhamilton2959]

When it's 32 and rainy in Wichita it's great to see some warm Arizona sun.

[@IDNHANTU2day]

I cant get enough of your shows when you are in the desert.

[@ronaldhall2489]

You having a boat and taking me out in it is the perfect boat ❤

[@rvertv]

Many thanks!

[@evelynwinchester4726]

Thank you SO MUCH for that beautiful ride. We lived in Lake Havasu in the 90's. Nice to remember with your videos. We never went to Start Point, so that was a treat.

[@lloydbaker6988]

Parker Dam Lake,Too Cool For School, Thanks, RVerTV Russ 👍

[@rvertv]

You bet!

[@blueprismquivers4540]

Hey Russ! Thanks for all you do for us. My favorite place in the world is The Colorado River. In 1970 my dad started taking us to Picacho Peak area for fishing and swimming (including a few beers outta my dad's cooler. I was 15 years old. In 1981 I started dating my eventual wife who's parents retired to Willow Valley, AZ. We would move there in 1985 and live there for 25 years raising our 4 kids. All 4 kids were born in Lake Havasu City. We've been in Idaho now for 13 years but The Colorado River is our home. Thanks again.

Always enjoy the beautiful scenery through your travels. I get to visit places that I will never have the opportunity to see in person. Thank you so much.

[@b2dary890]

What you are doing, is what life is all about, Russ👍👍

[@ksr1177]

Havasu lake is one of my favorite places to boat on. Thanks for sharing Russ.

[@rvertv]

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

To cool for school Rustifer!!! That Blue sky is priceless!!

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Hi Russ yes that is my favorite route when going to Golden Valley. Love it..safe travel 😊

[@thebartzabel9558]

I drove this road on the 27th of October. I found it really cool

[@rodneyprimm5984]

Hi Russ, thank you for sharing. God Bless 🙏

[@JAT922]

I like that you now announce what day you are filming

[@susanstrickland6774]

Thanks for taking us back again. Thats a beautiful ride. So happy the water is up in Az !! These are uncertain times, can't blame anyone for not continuing with tours. I'll look forward to seeing the burrors, and small town America. 🙂👍

[@mikekeller491]

I love your youtube trips you share with us. Many yeas since ive been there! you bring me back to a good state of mind watching these videos you post!

[@kb6lcw99]

That is such a nice walk

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Fall weather seems just perfect. Drone really shows off the terrain!

[@contactmiller]

Just got back from 6 days of boat/tent camping on Lake Powell with my $500 craigslist speed boat. Saw the eclipse from the boat, lots of fun. Lake Powell is up 70 feet this year.

Hi We are at Emerald Cove. Thanks for posting all you do!

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@davidhein4300]

That makes 2 of us!

[@marymurphy5069]

I always love it when you show Lake Havasu and the surrounding area. We used to go to Havasu every other week in the summer, great times. We did the self-guided tour of the Parker Dam years ago, it was so interesting and very cool. Love your travels, and looking forward to the next video

[@juliogonzales5441]

Great 👍 view of the Damm 😊

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@zanobiashalks2769]

AMAZING video, Russ! I'll be coming through there as soon as I sell my house. $139,900 in Steamboat, come on skiers, I'm baffled it hasn't sold yet! See y'all soon!

[@sledawgpilot]

Cool little spot!

[@rvertv]

Thank you so much for your support

[@IEchuckie]

Russ, you always fail to mention that Parker Dam is the deepest dam in the world! Also a stop at the Bill Williams visiter center is worth your time. Kayak and canoe launching, fishing docks, a visitor center, and desert tortoises. Right across from the pumping station that you passed. Enjoy

[@Blackdiamond0125]

Thank you....i like it a lot😊

[@rvridingwithdirty2839]

Thanks again for another awesome video, I do pin these locations on my travel map! I really enjoyed the Hoover Dam and Casino video and had a great time there after learning about them from your channel. Keep up the GREAT work and as always, Stay Safe and Have Fun!

[@rvertv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Go4Corvette]

Okay, Russ, number one, show Van some love and clean, second, bring sugar cubes for Donkey, lol, and don't forget to water that RVTV cactus. Then have fun, Mike

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

Welcome!

Glad you home safe but we loved your travels all summer. Love when you do the local thing going on. Be safe and thank.👍

[@doughimelic]

Really enjoy your drone footage. Good job!

[@BryanKale777]

OMG I have Reservations January-February at Sundance RV!

[@cindymcguine5688]

October is my favorite time of year in Havasu

[@petruachimas8985]

Very informative,,love your show

[@ngongan1479]

I want to go on these roads, want to experience them

[@alanlough638]

I really enjoyed watching this video, Russ! I wish you safe travels. Talk soon.

[@thehappyhermit01]

Hi Russ! Always love it when you do videos in the areas I frequent when I come out from Illinois most winters. There used to be some cool floating bars along that road. Fox's, Woody's and Sundance, to name a few. Sundance had great views from the outside seating areas, but I heard it closed down awhile back. Fox's, while not very big, would have live music from time to time. That area is under-rated, imo. There's also Nellie's Saloon/Desert Bar on the other side of 95. Very cool place. Keep the vids comin, my man!

[@SmittyAZ]

Those floating bars are along The Parker Strip on the AZ side.

[@thehappyhermit01]

@@SmittyAZ Ah, yes.

[@blueprismquivers4540]

Ah Villa was another. The Parker Strip was our high school getaway place when we would drive out for weekend trips. Lots of beer and a little bit of food. From 1971-1974.

[@larryagostini9446]

Hey Russ...Did you ever see the Old movie "Strange Brew".??..about the Canadian Brewery.??...The Big saying in the movie is "Take Off Ehh.!!!!🌈

[@ceetee2021]

Thanks for showing me new places to travel and hangout. I drive a Class C, it's only 24' long but it is wide; the road after the dam looks very narrow. What do you think about driving my rig on it? Safe travels ✌☮

[@jtrojan]

The hills and mtns in SW Arizona are so barren of trees and vegitation. Must bre due to summer heat and scant percipitation in the area. Wonder if Parker dam is for recreation or if water is syphoned off and piped to California.

[@paulwilliams-co3nj]

Fabulous Russ, travelling to Quartzite, any breakfast places recommendations

[@CS-uc2oh]

From Take Off Point, visitors can access any of the 73 boat-in campsites along the Arizona shoreline.

[@davidhein4300]

The water level in Havasu isn’t affected by the drought. Parker Dam generates power, but the lake doesn’t store a significant amount of water. For some perspective, Lake Havasu holds less than 650,000 acre feet of water while Lake Mead at full pool is over 28,000,000

[@CarlosCastillo-iy5it]

HI beautifull roads and towns greetings good day nice trip amigo

[@rvertv]

Thank you so much 👍

[@NavyAviationVeteranRVer]

Hello from Fort Mohave Russ. Glad to have you back safe. Are the dam tours back open at Davis Dam? I loved going though that back in 66 and been though Hoover a few times too. Might be a good video

[@JAT922]

Another dam video. All kidding, great video Russ.

[@thelmahenriques6454]

Can a person dry camp along the road to take off point?

[@corporal42]

I juat subscribed to your channel. I love your content. Im actually considering retiring out there in the next year or so. I dont like the huss buss of havasu so im considering bullhead or fort mojave. Any thoughts??

[@rvertv]

i really like that area too but it gets very hot there for half the year. Golden Shores and Topock are growing comunituies down the river

[@IEchuckie]

There's NO fish cleaning stations there. I remember before 9/11 there was no log boom and you could drive your boat to the dam

[@SenatorBulworth]

Is the Lake full? Sure looks like it, Russ. Come on, Russ, didn't you give the burro a treat?

[@hazcat640]

Do you get in trouble for catching a California fish on an Arizona license? 😉😆

[@IEchuckie]

I'm from California and I fish from Arizona side of the river and lake. Had my fishing license checked many times and it's OK

[@1hasbeen531]

If the fish has a California license plate you have to put him back.

[@hazcat640]

@@1hasbeen531 Oh! Of course! I should have thought of that, it's so obvious! 😆

[@dano450all8]

Any chance on your way up to Bullhead? Can you check out a beautiful RV mobile home park Palms River resort?
