Midland LTVA BLM Campground - Blythe Ca.

[@TheDustysix]

Blythe is a lovely place. I was out there end 2018. Hit the Shell station for the Krispy Krunchy Chicken. A quiet town with the scenery and river.

[@TheDustysix]

......How could there be no permits? It's easy! Worthless State Govt. dregs working in unison with Federal Govt. dregs. Bounce you around like a pinball. I'm a Vet and know the VA. I was out in Blythe/Needles area last year. Lovely. Like southern Maricopa County AZ. before the encroachment of city into farmland. Families vs. Food. Water is the determining factor. Immigrant SEASONAL labor was another issue. The rhythm of life watching the growing of crops is therapeutic. Quiet. I'd love to see many more Colorado River basin videos. I served in Yuma many years ago. 2X, winter and summer. I loved it. I moved from Allentown, Pa. to Phoenix in 85. Only Arizona and Florida since. Your videos are great Sir.

[@nealamesbury7953]

That road is real nice now.- trucks are a fact of life - and we dont get paid much for it, either

[@jaredfaye4169]

180. Bucks for 6 months... what a steal for all that land... plus water trash and dump station.. can't beat it!!!!

[@TeddyB1957]

Russ, you should start saying "UP PERISCOPE" every time you launch the drone. LOL

[@mannys4036]

Thank you Russ. I do enjoy these videos of the LTVA's. No one covers them as well as you do.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Nice video. Those LTVAs/BLM are sure a good deal if you dont need hookups. Great drone footage, so clear. Ty. 😊👍

[@rickysmith5420]

I like when you go through some of these towns especially small towns. Can you show more.

[@HOlsen-xe1xy]

You have the best sightseeing, boondocking, just in general lifestyle information of any of the sites we've seen.

[@jeannetteberks231]

I lived in Blythe till a year and ahalf ago. It is beautiful down there but dangerous now unless your in a group or carrying. Homeless have burned most of the town up now, it's turning into a ghost town that you don't want to be out in after dark. Just be safe and watch your backs!

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Yeah, Bythe is nothing to write home about. Same with the Midland LTVA; the lack of water is annoying considering your permit pays for it. Nothing to do here except listen to the generators. Better off boondocking in the area rather than pay to stay here. I was here in 2020 just before the pandemic hit.

[@itsthehumidityyall8303]

My virtual road trip to CA today. Always a beautiful sky...

[@b-a4798]

Very nice . I have been binging on your videos . From East coast and love seeing totally different landscapes like from a different country .

[@deewhite0612]

Check out Hot Springs LTVA in Holtville as well. We love it there.

[@judyabernathy80]

Such good content, Russ! Very, very, helpful. Love the drone footage. I feel as though I’ll know where I’m going once I get there. If they will ever tell us where RTR is going to be!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Great vid Russ, a lot of beautiful country out there, a lot of nuggets too....lol.

[@micahhardman3183]

Rebel Bbq Baby!! 1st one to open...another Rebel Bbq Restaurant is Located in Havasu...say hi to ol Rudy' 👍👍👍

[@royrice8597]

Oil the road. Water proofing it for all the rain........🤨🤨🤨. 👍👍👍 Excellent photography.

[@lindagates4896]

I am sure enjoying your tours thru Arizona California and Nevada Plus to camp and see and to four wheel and seeing all the sites. Planning on going next fall!! I am in Montana and tired of all the cold winters!

[@newengland2352]

Okay I'm in where to next Russ, lol! I like road trips, nice tour thanks Russ😊

[@BoxVanDee]

Hey Russ, I haven't been there but wondered what it was like. Thanks for sharing.

[@janetjacoby4154]

I love your videos because you explain so well. What turn, which direction, names of roads, and its fun to follow along. Hope to meet you in Quartzsite!

[@jamesgriffin7971]

Russ will figure out how to make the drone go side to side one of these days! Lol! good job Russ we love your drone shots!

[@jipsiemune]

Nice... Great drive , Enjooyed it so much !

[@jesscarey7666]

Very impressive Russ!! Love the drone footage!!

[@kpineapple4]

Russ, your always full of great information. Thank you once again. Ken and Kathleen Spokane Wa.

[@Badgeweefixstuff]

Thanks Russ found are home lol 🛠🇨🇦🛠🇨🇦

[@vernwallen4246]

Thanx Russ.Keep looking for that lost dutchman mine.💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@maggiesjourney3877]

I love Ehrenberg. I've stayed many months on the river and on the flats up above.

[@janellevans878]

Blythe doesn't have a Walmart but their 2 pharmacies are Amazon hubs.

[@gusgus2539]

Thank you.

[@johndoh4022]

Too bad they closed the mines. We wandered all over those mines. You should have kept going up Rice road and hit Blythe Junction aka Rice. Lots of history here in this desert. Blythe is a beautiful town. Just wish more people admired it's beauty.

[@1uptospeed]

had to lol when at the end of vid you said everybody in the van where going to find that ghost town .yey"

[@rvertv]

good catch - first comment on that i was waiting

[@latergator3367]

Go West young man ! Yikes Cali is on Fire ! Runaway, Runaway ! Do they check for faulty PG&E wiring at the Agriculture Checkpoint ? Excellent ride around !

[@thebudmeister8840]

PG&E doesn't service southern calif.

[@latergator3367]

The Bud Meister : Thank God and clarifying that fact. I live in a swamp in LaFlorida so the ins and outs of owning that magical spark have escaped my limited knowledge of High Stakes Enron-like utilities. But in the end who really owns the buzzing? Oh Yeaah ! It ‘s like having Bees live in your head ! Buzz Buzz

[@ftkinsella]

Still loving the drone footage Russ. Maybe one day you could land the drone while the windshield cam is on and we can watch you land the drone. stay safe Russ. Cheers!!!

[@hg2.]

"I feel like I've been there." Thanks!

[@krispedersen2335]

Hey, Russ.....it'd be great if you could start mentioning cell reception in the areas you video! THX!!!

[@Iamrosey21111]

Love it! Thank you :)

[@MrKim-kv2vv]

My kind of place, as well as Quartzite. Not growing so fast life seems to cruise along.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋Hello Russ! That's a good price $180.00 6 months, 2 weeks $40.00. Midland LTVA won't be lonely looking much longer. Probably fill up fast. That was a great way of promoting a business by doing a live talk. If I come there to visit, I definitely would love to visit this game store & buy some new family games. I also loved the kite store you took us to earlier this Spring.

[@adeand4310]

Great videos,

[@timf6916]

Nice ride

[@HikeBikeWalkRide]

Yeah!

[@johneason6540]

I'm liking your travel videos! How long is long term?

[@rvertv]

6 months

[@johneason6540]

@@rvertv thanks

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Russ...you have mentioned wind could be a problem in several videos .Are this big winds that this entire area experiences a factor year round? If tenting...could winds be a problem at any time? Thanks for look see at Midland LTVA!

[@johndoh4022]

The midland area sits in the Little Maria Mtn Range. It can get windy but fairly quiet during the winter months.

[@carl2591]

I see you are using a hero 7 for dash cam..are you using some sorta different mic for your voice.. it much better than the standard mic I have heard on other hero 7 videos.. cool video thanks also is the date, like on this oct 8, the actual day you filmed this.. ??

[@48kornbinder19]

Russ, what about that RV dump station. Was there water there?

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Which is the best western state to license you truck, motorhome and camper?

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Very interesting Russ.

[@nomaddaze]

What's this song called I recognize it from GPAA videos.... I'd like to use it in a couple of my own videos but I don't know what it's called the song I'm hearing at about 15 minutes in..... hopefully will have time to talk a little bit about prospecting when you come see us at The Boondocking Bash tomorrow I know that you're familiar with the and I have a couple of questions that need a local answer : )

[@golddigger9326]

I think they oil the roads to make them water resistant , like they do here in Oregon

[@kccorliss3922]

So only service there was sewer dump? No garbage? Thank you

[@recalcitrantradical7312]

Times change, wwii they train in bouse 60's blythe, and now....29 palms. 🤔

[@ehbar673]

It apeears the cargo doors on the rig just past the border aren't closed ?

[@raydeanfeniuk2168]

"COOL"

[@tazmod7272]

Hello.

[@gregoryadkins2213]

Is there any free(as in 14-day limit)in that area?

[@KRich408]

Does anyone know how the Verizon service is here? And where to get water? We are going to LTVA this winter trying to get information.

[@maggiesjourney3877]

I guess it might be a nice change. I am getting sick of all the garbage people leave behind.

[@missouritravelers]

what kind of drone are you using

[@rvertv]

[@bonita9444]

Are there garbage bins ? I didn't see any 😎

[@rvertv]

yes there was a few

[@MannyWC]

Cell signal out yonder?

[@rudyrissone4298]

Used to be $75.00

[@J_Calvin_Hobbes]

thumb 👍

[@lindatripp3306]

Russ do they have propane at Quartzsite and Ehrenberg?

[@johndoh4022]

Yes they all do.

[@gregory2622]

😎👍👍

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Update for 2023. Best to skip this LTVA. Bythe is not in good shape and nothing to do at the Midland LTVA. Better to stay at the other LTVAs that have water and better facilities. Why pay to stay at Midland when you can boondock in the area for free?

[@porkfatcalifornia3890]

If it’s free ,,,why do u have to pay

[@harvesthawk5772]

How can you not have permits printed? Answer: It's a government operation run by government employees, most likely unionized. Pray they never get ahold of your healthcare.

[@donalddday7741]

But problem is ITS IN California

[@DenaliDad]

Even though the same LTVA pass is good at all seven LTVAs for the entire 7-month season, it is important to understand there are significant BLM requirements as to rig type. Cars and those that the BLM defines as other than "self-contained" are not allowed here. Look for the special regulations online.

[@porkfatcalifornia3890]

it says BLM ,,,why pay,
