Did you know that Robert mcculloch owned all of lake Havasu and was his test lake for his outboards until he decided to develop the real estate and make that his focus. Mcculloch was wealthy beyond imagination. I wish someone would do a piece on him.
I knew he was McCulloch of McCulloch chain saws and superchargers, but not about outboards, makes sense. I had heard that when he bought the London bridge, he thought he was buying the infamous Tower bridge.
When you did the before and after of the London Bridge and the guy being called crazy, but the before and after showed a canal surrounded by sand and then developed with houses and greenery, I thought that guy made some coin in his vision, and then to realize who he was, I have a McCulloch chainsaw, and it baffles the imagination of the entrepreneur and visionary that McCulloch was at the time! Good job! I second your wish!
@jessiesdroneadventures7464. Thank you, I enjoyed the view! A friend owns one of those mansions on the river there. The water is so incredible. Lots of good fishing there. I'd love to see you do a drone on four peaks. I climbed that about 5 years ago to the very top. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for showing all those incredible places in AZ. I cant wait to come back there. I hope next year in around August. I have very dear friends in Apache Junction. I visited them last time in 2017 and i miss this place every day since.
Been spending a lot of time Boating on lake Havasu for the past 20 years…great place, some of the best boating conditions anywhere and a trip up river to Topock is a must see! Parker strip is okay I guess, if you have a jet boat or jet skis.
My favorite things in and around Parker and Lake Havasu in no particular order: I just noticed how out of control this list got quickly... oh well. Fun area. The Desert Bar outside of Parker. The Drag Boat races at Blue Water Casino on the river. Bill Williams River Body Beach and all the racers. The back way to Alamo Lake Swansea Ghost town Foxes and Roadrunner bars on the River. Lapaz state park Rusty's breakfast in Havasu. The bridge and the island itself. Love the walking trails, under the bridge, and all the little shops. There are condos to rent too. All the rental properties in LHC that make long stays affordable and fun. All the lighthouses. The offroad trails east of LHC. Can you find the "Race Track?" The shooting range in LHC. The sand bar, and copper canyon depending on where the fun is. Taking boats or PWC up river. Black Meadow Landing on the Commie side. The dirrerent boating events over the year, including some massive power boats as well as World Finals Jetski event. Many more things too.
Thank you so so much!!!! Really appreciate that! I will put that back into my videos for future trips! thank you so much for checking out the video and coming along for the adventure
Awesome video, with the historical side included! Your fear of the homeless camp on the other side of the river at the beginning reminded me of another fun fact: the homeless and later camps were invented in California in the 80's and were the first I had ever seen through news feeds at the time; here in 2024-25, the homeless camps are all across the country with no sign of slowing down, just a thought!
I've been a fan for a while now. Yes- California is a water hog. I live up by the Shasta Dam. They even get the lion's share of our water. Many people say it's the almond trees. IDK. Anyway, I enjoy your work and I have learned a lot! Working on getting used to your sense of humor. I'm an old lady. 71 last week. I hope to visit some of the places in your videos someday. Keep up the good work! And thanks :o)
lol thank you! I appreciate you being open minded to my sense of humor, its all in the name of comedy and hopefully make a few people laugh in this crazy world....I hope you get to visit some of these place in the future! thanks for watching, jessie!
I went to Havasu and the bridge probably 18 years ago for spring break. It was a blast i was young and had just bought my new boat and a new dodge cummins truck. Me and some other coal miner's i worked with drove down there and party's every day for a week. It was a awesome time.
Have watched many,many videos but you are amazing. Your gift from God is a blessing. Your background information on your travels is appreciated. Not to mention your drone quality 😮 is GREAT.
My sister lives in Lake Havasu City, my brother-in-law took me down to see the Parker Dam. You can't walk across due to 9/11. Been over the London Bridge a few times as well.
And another very interesting video. Thank you very much. I am a new subscriber and I might add that Robert McCulloch was the famous chainsaw manufacturer that made the biggest and most powerful chainsaws of the 50's and 60's. My Dad and I were timbercutters back then and I still have three of those old saws (D44, Super 44A and a 740). He also made go carts and engines and early super chargers for race car engines.

I live in Utah near the Colorado River, and I just love how turquoise the color of the river gets as you go down into Arizona and even southern Utah. Never heard of Parker, but I’m definitely visitingthis spring.
Was just at the east side of lake mead, where the virgin river dumps into it. So beautiful I just love the Mojave desert. And NV actually has a very good water program and managed much better than other states. Phoenix has been notorious for using “water wrong”.
I've been out to that part of lake mead before...about 4 or 5 years ago I also had the pleasure of visiting little jamaica.....before they dismantled it.....was an amazing place!
Growing up in Arizona during the 70s and 80s was a great time to be young. I have lots of great memories of going to Lake Havasu during spring break and summer vacation with my friends. We would hang out on the boardwalk at the bridge and there would be so many boats in the channel that we could walk from one side to the other from boat to boat and back. Everyone was drinking, and dancing on the boats. Girls were dancing and really shaking and showing what they had. We would camp out on the beach and party all night. Big bon fires and lots of great food and music. It’s sad that you can’t do that anymore. Of course I’m too old now but I still go to Parker to camp and play with my boat on the River. I like watching the jet boat racing and I like to fish for bass on the lake.
Loving these vids- the more I see the more I watch. Doesn't hurt that I'm a fellow 'Zonie and the subject matter is always on point. Keep it up my man!
Great video. 1. I remember Charlie and the Family murders and trials. 2. I do not remember Bonnie and Clyde. 3. An urban legend from Philadelphia was that Robert McCulloch actually thought he had bought the Tower Bridge in London and was quite angry that the Brits cheated him. Turns out the Urban Legend was not true. BUT, I believed that until I moved here in 2019. Bonus 1. The lamps on the bridge are said to have been made from melted down cannons of Napoleon Bonaparte’s defeated army. Bonus 2, the fountain you passed catches the summer sunsets just right and looks like liquid fire.
hey thanks for sharing! I read that about robert mcculloch as well! lots of interesting facts about this bridge and surrounding area! thanks for checking out the video!
When I started watching this video I was completely unaware that this would turn into an epic tale of one man and his faithful drone's resolve and perseverance against all odds in conquering adversity 💪😀 I'm amped you made it to the dam. Dayum! Looks very cool, I'm heading there in two weeks to explore. Thanks for the education and all the great trip ideas as always Jesse! I appreciate you brother🙏 PS I've camped in Lake Havasu and shockingly 😮 drove over London Bridge. It didn't fall down?!? Cried. My whole childhood is a lie now 😐
i have lived in lake havasu since 1977...was much better back then, we are now being taken over by people leaving california because of what it has become...sad, hope they dont do the same here
Another awesome video as always. Even though I lived in Mesa for 2 years I never got out to the Lake Havasu area. Parker looks like a nice little town. On another note are you have the same feelings about California as you seem to have. 😁
I was riding over the London Bridge in a taxi and the driver mentioned something about Jack the ripper might have done some stabbings under this Bridge. I had to admit that I definitely had. 😊
I’ve only been through here once, way back in 1994. For some reason this was the route my parents took to Laughlin and Las Vegas. After that trip we started using US 93
Fun fact McCulloch sold the extra granite from the bridge to artists and funeral homes, he recouped all his money making the bridge almost free. Brilliant entrepreneur
Since you're in the area, you should do a video just south of Quartzsite along the Kofa Mountains and surrounding Plamosa Mountains. Dripping Springs, Skull Rock, and Palm Canyon, marvelous places that lack any great coverage yet on TH-cam. I'm a biased local, but it's wicked awesome as for cool Arizona desert scenery and history go.
My family and friends and I used to drive our golf carts up the trailer park near the bridge and float down the river, someone would drive back and forth picking us up and dropping us off. Super close community in that trailer park you were near. Fun times.
As you approach the dam turn right to the boat launch, at the top is a historical marker and picnic area. I fly there an d get good shots of the dam with no power lines and no “no drone” signs.
Good info but Havasu is pretty well known. Now if you did some scouting around Bill Williams river up to Alamo lake and Big Sandy river that is beautiful land that would be really interesting!
Just discovered your channel yesterday and enjoying your content. Wondering if you have any plans to shoot in HLG HDR on your mini pro and then produce HDR content for TH-cam? Its a shame seeing your beautiful shots in SDR, but otherwise im liking what i see so far. Already subbed. 🙂
Nice, looking forward to it! I too have a mini 4 pro and am still very much a video editing amateur, but I'm gradually learning color grading and HDR mastering using Davinci Resolve Studio. It's pretty incredible what the HLG recordings from the mini is able to produce without much work in Resolve. 🤘
upstream at glen canyon dam they drilled down over 600 feet below the riverbed and could not find bedrock. All they found was 600 feet of sandstone. So they built the dam on a foundation of sandstone.
You must have filmed this on a Thursday because what they do is they close down the damn so that the fields out south of Parker can use the water and be flooded and they do it every Thursday
I grew up in Parker and as a kid I went to Bobby D's diner a lot. My Grandparent's church, Christ Church on the River was just down River Walk Dr and it was everyones post Xhurch food and social spot. The owner was awesome, friends with everyone in town. Great food and atmosphere. I think it closed when he passed away and his kids cut and run with whatever they got outa him leaving the restaurant under ownership of the town. I coupd be wrong on the details of ownership as its been years now, but Great town to grow up in, good people too.
Hey thank you so much for sharing!!! hopefully they open it up again or so something with it at the bare minimum, its great spot and very eye catching! thank you for checking out the video!
That road closed you passed was where the infamous Idiot Rock is on the left hand side. It was closed due to Rockfall from the right side mountains. Local
You're saying Parker Dam is "deeper" than Hoover Dam because its foundation is so far below the natural level of the earth? Because Hoover Dam is over 700 feet high.

@@mikej238 Considering California is the most populous state with 40,000,000 residents and 300,000,000 tourists a year...everyone is fine with you not going to California.
I was filming a ride away shot for a video there a while back, on the Arizona side. The security guard lady went full Karen "you can't leave that camera here! you can't leave that camera here!". Wrecked the whole shot. I had to explain to her I was leaving a $500 camera in her parking lot 😂.
If you were born and raised here, you'd understand perfectly. We actually love CA- in some ways- but we _leave it like we found it..._ We don't f' it all up.
My parents stayed at River Lodge Resort on the California side of the river just before the dam for 14 years. I always found the drive along the California side from Parker to the dam to be way more scenic and enjoyable. Unfortunately River lodge was eventually taken over by new owners who replaced the camp sites with Park models. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot!

Bill Williams River
Body Beach and all the racers.
The back way to Alamo Lake

The bridge and the island itself. Love the walking trails, under the bridge, and all the little shops. There are condos to rent too.
All the rental properties in LHC that make long stays affordable and fun.
All the lighthouses.
The offroad trails east of LHC. Can you find the "Race Track?"

Spent lots of time at Havasu and London Bridge in 1980 to the early aughts. The area has really grown up.

The costs are out of control in Havasu because of the Californians. What seems like a good deal for them is way too much for us locals.

I remember my sister in her high school band marching across the bridge in 76’
If she was in the band of knights I marched with her.
I’m from Oklahoma and for some reason I want to visit the London bridge, I don’t know why but I do.
Thank you Sir for this video.
you should! its a gorgeous place!
Just came back from a trip to the USA. We went also to Laughlin and took a trip to the Lake by boat.
I walk inside there before its pretty cool

You used to be able to walk across the dam. Used to also with out special permission ride the elevator down and see inside.
Have you been to Burro creek yet? It's about halfway between Phoenix and Kingman. It's small but kind of a neat little area.
sure have!! I did a video out there a while back!
When I was a young boy I watched them build the London bridge
oh awesome!

That road closed you passed was where the infamous Idiot Rock is on the left hand side. It was closed due to Rockfall from the right side mountains. Local
Water level changes day to day you can pull up the dam water release schedule for most of these dams on the colorado.
Water is way down, sometimes they would slow the flow like that on a busy 4th holiday, couldn’t put boat in water till about 2 PM
I lived in Havasu and drove to my job in Parker for eight years….
Guantanamo? You'd more likely be shipped to Leavenworth, or Colorado's Ultra-Max!
You're saying Parker Dam is "deeper" than Hoover Dam because its foundation is so far below the natural level of the earth? Because Hoover Dam is over 700 feet high.
Ate many times at Bobby D’s I think they owned Cross Roads also
Pity Drones Weren't a "Thing" in the Early 1980's, When the Spill Gates Were Opened. THAT was a Sight!
Look close at the sides of the bridge and you can still see the holes from the World War bullets.
That road has been closed for 15 years maybe more because of the rocks on the unstable cliff
Now there are plans to build a 2nd bridge.

always best to avoid homeless people, you never know what surprises they might have up their sleeves

I was in Lake Havasu on April 1, 2022 and it was 1 0 5 Degrees! Too hot!😂😊
yea it gets pretty scorching there!.....hotter than a spoon in demi lovatos house!
That’s not too bad. I usually don’t start complaining until it’s 110 out of

I guess you don't like California
😂😂😂
Nobody likes California's
If you were born and raised here, you'd understand perfectly. We actually love CA- in some ways- but we _leave it like we found it..._ We don't f' it all up.
Not every video is about it, he stopped at the boundary of the video topic. No problem, it's alright.

So what is the deepest dam hiding?

Thats why you dont ask. The answer will almoste always be no for people who ask.
Parker isn't even on the top 10 list of tallest dams of the world.
He said deepest not tallest. There is a plaque on it saying it IS the deepest Dam in the world.
@asquithmainlines699 Oops my bad! I stand corrected.
Jessie, What's so Depp about that dam? Doesn't remind me of Johnny or even a pirate. 😂
Literally just fixed that...my bad
The richest state in the US is CALIFORNIA 😂😂😂😂
Before or after taxes 🤔
My parents stayed at River Lodge Resort on the California side of the river just before the dam for 14 years. I always found the drive along the California side from Parker to the dam to be way more scenic and enjoyable. Unfortunately River lodge was eventually taken over by new owners who replaced the camp sites with Park models. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot!
thank you for sharing!
I dont know why you basically bad mouth CA since we supply most of the things the rest of the US uses?
california smells like pot and piss
