The fireworks are actually a pyrotechnics class, they teach people pyrotechnics, the people of havasu actually made it an annual thing. It was never meant as a show
That’s incredibly nice of you to say, thank you 🙏 We’re thankful to have our backlog of videos but we’re quickly getting caught up and I’m afraid you guys are going to end up watching us do the wash and walk the dogs here soon 🤪
Hello guys, we hope you are doing well and are staying safe. The lockdown here in Sacramento was just tightened down more today. No one can come visit in your house. So we will not be having our annual Easter gathering. Anyway, hubby and I liked the video, especially the lake views. Nice to see your puppies enjoying the water. Our dog will only swim in lakes, never in our pool. We wish you peace, laughter and safe travels. HAPPY EASTER! 🐰
Thank you, Gayla! So sorry to hear of the further restrictions in Sacramento, I know Easter was weird for everyone this year. Our dogs love the water, our last house had a pool and if it got hot enough they would get in but they never seemed to enjoy as much as natural bodies of water. We’re happy to hear you and the Mr. enjoyed the video - as always, thank you for watching and commenting! Happy Easter back at ya!!
We love your dogs and cat .....nice that they are used to travel in RV....we lost our "BIG BEAR" few years back but we have the family with us......again stay safe ride safe.
My brother lives in Havasu. He works at Parker Dam. It’s a great city to visit. Next time you’re there go up to Oatman to visit the wild donkeys. That is an experience. Thanks for the fun video.
I grew up in Lake Havasu. I live in Ohio now. Really awesome to see a different prospective from someone who has never been before. Thanks so much for sharing.
We were actually in Tucson in December, we have a video on it 😊 Unfortunately, we missed Mt. Lemon while there... actually, we missed a ton of things we were interested in around Tucson and look forward to returning one day!
Both fun places! And, I imagine, on opposite ends of the temperature spectrum - I know Lake Havasu City is crazy hot in the summer and Thermopolis must be crazy cold in the winter being in WY. You just need to be a snowbird between those 2 cities!!
Out in the middle of a desert, great place to do the fireworks. We live near a small town in NW IN they have done the same type of marketing displays at the local county fair-grounds that is right on the edge of town, next to the dog shelter. It is such a horrible place for it. We live about 8 miles from it and we can feel the shakes. It goes on for several nights and disrupts everyone. Yep!! Keep it in the desert!
@@EmbracingDetours They do move them, they get farmed out to homes in the community but, a couple years they had an awful lot of critters to temporarily re-home. People that live nearby have windows break and can you imagine the mental state of a lot of the veterans in the area, when they are being bombarded in their own homes? Yes, it does bring a lot of money into the community for a few days but, not really worth it.
Arizona is a very cool place! Thanks for sharing your adventure. It’s always great to see your puppies running around! Be safe during this really weird time. Looking forward to more of your adventures!
Arizona is a fantastic state! We live in Kingman which is about 60 miles north of Lake Havasu, so I've been to Havasu a lot! A little-known fact about Arizona is that we can have the highest temperature and the lowest temperature in the U.S. in the same day!
My wife and I really enjoy how you explain your trips with pricing / access of Parks and camp grounds along with amenities. Also the difficulty / length of trails and hikes you experience. Only a few give that type of information so it's very useful for us to be able to plan trips. Thank you for going into that type of detail on your videos. It's very helpful.
We really appreciate that, Kenny 👍Looking forward to things getting back to normal as I know everyone is. Thanks for the kind words and wishes, please stay safe out there!
Thank you, Brian and Shawnna 🤗Same here, we really enjoyed hanging out with you both around the campfire at The Steps. Memories of better times for sure. We hope you've found somewhere to settle down and wait this mess out, stay safe out there!
We typically prefer candid shots to posed but we just couldn't pass up the opportunities at London Bridge! Glad you enjoyed the video, George - thank you for watching and commenting 😊
We just want to let you know how much we have enjoyed your videos during this shut-in time. We found your videos probably a couple of months ago and have watched nearly all of them and are looking forward to the shut in being over and you resuming your posting. We are not full timers but do take our 2 dogs and cat when we do go on trips in the travel trailer. Your videos are great because we have so far just travelled in the eastern part of the US, mostly in the southeast, and your videos show us what's out there. Take care & stay safe.
Thank you so much, Frank! TJ certainly had fun with that bit of editing 👍 Thank you so much for following along, we’re happy to have you along for the adventure!!
OMG, We were & still are in Havasu when you were here. I love u both & enjoy watching you videos. Wished I could have ran into & met you both. We are here till the COVID-19 is over. Hopefully soon & it doesn't go through the summer. We live full time in our 5th wheel & it gets super hot here & the insulation in RV's aren't so good. Once it's safe to travel once again we are heading to Fish Creek, Wi. which is in Door County. It's beautiful there, if you ever are back in that area you must go to Julie's Cafe with the big purple chair, my nephew & niece are the owners. Safe travels to u both & hope to see u on the road.... Take Care
Great vlog, we're glad you visited our city! I think it's important to know that the time between firework sets was filled with announcements detailing various information about them: Who made it, where they're from, the order number, etc. You can hear this either at the grandstands or over the local radio stations. The pyrotechnics show is basically a sales presentation for buyers of fireworks, not necessarily spectators. Also noteworthy: the bridge was purchased at an auction and the sellers had no idea where it was going! $2M well spent.
Loved the editing work on the fire works show, with the music! To find music to Max the blasting was near professional level! Great videos always you guys!
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been to Lake Havasu but never camped there. After watching your video I’m planning to go soon, maybe even for the holidays.
Funny, we were at Cat-Tail Cove Feb 14, Friday. We also stayed in the overflow, and I flew that lakeside trail you were on with my drone. We saw the Friday night show of the 3 night fireworks demos. Although it was unique, and saw fireworks we hadn't seen before, we decided to move one and continue on our trip eastward to Scottsdale. We didn't stay for Sat night, but we heard the Saturday night show is the best, so maybe next time.
Pretty cool to find out we were there at the same time! Small world, especially among RVers trying to stay warm in the winter ☀️ We went to the Blast all 3 nights and definitely thought Saturday’s was the best.
WOW! What a fun video! As a local, Lake Havasu resident and Real Estate agent you covered our city beautifully! I would love to know what camera you are using. Cheers on traveling again soon!
Thank you, Rachael - glad you enjoyed our video! We use a Canon EOS M6, all of our gear is listed with links in the description of our videos. And I’ll definitely cheers to traveling again soon 🍻
London Bridge “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”... creative recycling has been going on for thousands of years! 😁 (can’t wait to see how you two handled the isolation phase, we want videos!). 😁 👍👍👏👏👏 😷😷Be safe!
Love your take on the London Bridge, you're spot on 👍 We'll be getting into the Coronavirus videos in a couple of weeks, hoping we don't bore everyone to death with our self isolating lol. Thank you, you be safe too!
We found that we had to be careful scoping out a lot of the boondocking areas, especially with our low slung Airstream. Several area approaches were relatively steeply dipped, which wouldn’t be concerning to most RV’s. Thanks for another great video.
Absolutely, Cam! We are always very careful about approaches for that exact reason, we may one day put the lift on the Airstream so that we don't have to worry so much. Pros and Cons to all different types of RVs! Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Is this Double D from Tennessee Donna?! Memories of a better time indeed, who knew what a difference a couple of months would make... we hope you’re staying safe and healthy. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!!
@@EmbracingDetours haha...this is Double D from TN. We're doing well. Cut our trip a little short due to the virus and have been home 3 weeks. Had some nasty tornadoes tear up our city last night but our family came out of it unharmed. Hope you guys are weathering this virus situation okay.
We hope you're able to make it there in person one day but happy we could bring you along vicariously for the time being! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 👍
Hi there from New Zealand. I have just watched this post and thoroughly enjoyed. I went to Lake Havasu back in the 70s and saw the London Bridge. We were told at the time that Mr McCulloch thought he was actually buying the Tower Bridge.!!!! Wondering where you guys will be self isolating?. Keep safe and well. Cheers Sue
Thank you, Gary! We would love to travel to New Zealand someday. We originally planned to self isolate in a full hook-up campground. With the uncertainty of how long we would have to stay, we decided to head to Washington state to be with family. Thank you for watching and commenting.🙂
We drove through that area in late October and tried to find a place to boondock north of Lake Havasu City. We had a hard time finding something because it was later in the day and there were still a lot of people in the area. We would have loved to have found a place near the water. Glad you found a nice spot to camp. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing your journey. We love to see your videos. Stay safe!!
When we scouted out the various boondocking options, Craggy Wash BLM just north of LHC was our favorite but entirely too busy and many people that looked like they had far outstayed their 14 day limit. Of all the public land places we checked none were on the water, but if you had the ability to get up high enough on The Steps you could get a really nice view of the Colorado River. Lake Havasu State Park offered overflow parking just like Cattail Cover SP did, but theirs was right on the river which was pretty nice. We decided against that because we didn’t want to pay to dry camp but it is an option if you want to be as close to the river as possible. We are doing well, thanks for asking - same to you!
we were there the weekend of the 7th and those lands were already getting full with everyone picking the perfect spot.. my mom and dad live there and let us know all about the firework show.. thank you for sharing the video! this is a fun place to visit
I came to Arizona in Jan. and here it is Apr. still here. My wandering has been only about a beautiful 300 mile area. Now I'm staying in place during the Virus in beautiful Havasu. Have no clue when I will get to travel really dont care as the view is super here.
Hi guys, what a great video! I have been here in Q since December and didn’t know about the winter blast or fireworks but enjoyed your coverage. The london bridge tour and pics of the dogs were adorable. Thanks so much!
Good Vid! I've been to Havasu many times since 1978, mostly boating when younger. Last few years just for the day on my Motorcycle trips while camping in the Parker area! Always enjoy watching your Adventures!!!
Glad you enjoyed, Larry! We enjoyed exploring Havasu, the area surrounding the channel and London Bridge are a lot of fun. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Glad you’re enjoying - thank you, Sandia! Jack the cat stays in the trailer when we’re not traveling. We’ve been living in the trailer for close to 3 years now so it’s home to all of us, he’s very comfortable and happy there 👍
Enjoying all of Your adventures and watching Your experience with Your transmission. How did You figure out it was Your torque converter? We are having a similar problem. Thanks and looking forward to more adventures.
Thank you Steve & Carolyn 😊Honestly, it was kind of a fluke. We suspected the torque converter was always the problem after the rebuild, but it didn't make sense because it was supposed to be the very similar specs to the torque converter it was replacing. It wasn't until the shop called the distributor, that we found out they had shipped the wrong type causing our new problem. It was only slightly different without the trailer, but once we added weight it was VERY apparent something wasn't right. Sorry I don't have a clearer answer for you. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Awesome video guys! Cool fireworks, Lake Havasu seemed kinda neat also..Who has the money and the time AND the idea to move that huge bridge to AZ from London? Thanks again!!! 🥰👍👌🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Loran! I had the same reaction as you about the London Bridge. Someone else commented above that the bridge was purchased at auction for $2M... I can't imagine the money and labor it took to deconstruct it, ship it over to the States and reconstruct it. But, I guess it's served its purpose by attracting people to the area so perhaps a smart idea and money well spent. Glad you enjoyed, as always thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Bri Thanks for always answering viewer comments! Much appreciated! 😊👍👌🎉Also noticed how many subscribers you’ve added in the last year and also your getting lots of views the last 6 months or so! Congrats!🎈🎉🎊
Embracing Detours Just recently found and subscribed to your channel, tons of awesome videos!!! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your travels with the world.
Thank you, Sean! We have been to Sedona but it was pre-RV and YT channel so unfortunately, no video 🙁It's a wonderful place and we do look forward to returning one day in the RV and making a video, but before repeating places we want to visit places we haven't seen yet first.
@@EmbracingDetours ...completely understandable. Although there are places we'd love to return to, Pike's Peak in Colorado, Angels Landing in Utah, Hollywood, there are so many other places we'd want to visit before we revisit those other places. Again, continue to be safe. Toilet paper is becoming easier to find, 😁 Keep your hands clean and don't touch your face. But seriously, please take care. I love your videos! ❤
Up river is an amazing camp spot on the river if you’re dragging a boat or rent one. Willow beach marina & campground. It’s near Hoover dam and you boat they canyon up to Hoover dam. Feel free to send me a note for details/pics.
Thank you so much for your great videos! I am a full time van dweller native aridzonian. My dream trip is the 191 highway. I have traveled on most the Arizona parts. The 191 at most the southern point is Douglas AZ and ends at the Canadian Border. Every fifty to a hundred miles along, and small excursions off the 191 are National parks, Monuments, State parks, Natural areas, Preserves, Mines ( you literally drive though an open pit copper mine on the 191), and the list goes on and on. I could spend a half a year exploring this route. Their are no videos of the entire route. Most of the road is two lane. Not very well traveled at all. I think you guys would really enjoy this trip. Check it out on google maps! Happy trails!
Oh wow, this is the first we'd heard of U.S. Route 191, thank you so much for the introduction! Two lane back roads, not well traveled, small excursions every every hundred miles or so... It sounds perfect 😍 We'll add it to our list, thank you again Glenn!!
Beutiful Fireworks !! In Sweden Firework is Almost Prohibided since It is so "Bad too the Clima" hope You Understand ! The World is Very Strange in our Cou. !!!
I did not realize fireworks were banned in other countries! Glad you were able to enjoy them through our video, thank you for watching and commenting 👍😊
All of this was actually filmed back in February and early March before Covid-19. We aren’t currently traveling and are quickly getting caught up on on our backlog of videos 😯 We understand how you feel, hopefully we’ll be past the worst of it soon. Hang in there and stay safe.
I started going to Lake Havasu in 1964 I was 10 years old the London Bridge is still in London Cattail Cove wasn't built we would launch her boat at midnight down by the dam put all our camping stuff in and take off across the lake I find a camp spot on the Arizona side Arizona state campground dollar night the campgrounds were spread out so we could let her dogs run loose all weekend Camp right on the shore then they put in the bridge built Cattail Cove it was a dirt road at first then we start going to Cattail Cove cuz we like to camp just south of there at satellite Cove I used to love going water skiing at Twilight when the water was like glass not another boat on the lake when we would leave cat tail on Sunday we'd see maybe two or three people camping there we didn't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them being so far away from the water being so close to one another with their dogs on a leash the last time I was there 1990 helicopter flew 10 ft over the boat looking to see if I had beer luckily I didn't I was on my way to get more that was my last trip I swore I'd never go back I know people that have gotten infections from the pollution in the water in the canal by the bridge they have carbon monoxide sensors in the canal when it gets too bad alarm goes off and everybody has to shut off their boat to keep people from dying in my day it was a place to go to be wild and free now it's a place to go on vacation I'm come home on probation I think I know how the Native Americans feel when they see the land they love overtaken by prosperity I have love in my heart Lake Havasu but I'll never go back oil bag mark
I started going in “75” now I go but during the week not weekend. And I head up river. Beautiful beaches and canyons. Love it! Air 105 and water 80 is my favorite temperature.
Sounds like maybe some gun shy training may help the dogs deal with fireworks. I had a weimaraner that I had to get trained for gun shots and training him to bird hunt. Those are hunting dogs. Some professional training should cure them, at least youtube it and see if there is self help.
I would like to say thank you for not traveling and staying safe. So many other rvers on youtube should take your lead instead of acting like it is nothing and going everywhere. Stay safe.
Absolutely! We agree it is important to follow the recommendations of health officials and are doing our part to flatten the curve. Thank you, please stay safe too.
Enjoyed your video. I travelled to same places-lots of varieties along Colorado River so I saw different perspectives. I put my videos on TH-cam. Search TH-cam with my name & words like Colorado River, lake Havasu, Yuma, etc. Have travels.
The fireworks are actually a pyrotechnics class, they teach people pyrotechnics, the people of havasu actually made it an annual thing. It was never meant as a show
This video just popped up. Hope you are doing well.
Wow, fantastic editing of fireworks segment!!!
I love your videos.
Thank you so much, Brenna 🤗
Your videos were fun to watch when things were 'normal', it's therapeutic to watch them now! Thank you for taking time to post!
That’s incredibly nice of you to say, thank you 🙏 We’re thankful to have our backlog of videos but we’re quickly getting caught up and I’m afraid you guys are going to end up watching us do the wash and walk the dogs here soon 🤪
Excellent AZ videos (but all of yours are). This was really helpful for us as we plan for winter of ‘22
Hello guys, we hope you are doing well and are staying safe.
The lockdown here in Sacramento was just tightened down more today. No one can come visit in your house. So we will not be having our annual Easter gathering. Anyway, hubby and I liked the video, especially the lake views. Nice to see your puppies enjoying the water. Our dog will only swim in lakes, never in our pool. We wish you peace, laughter and safe travels.
HAPPY EASTER! 🐰
Apparently the person who brought London Bridge thought they were getting, what is actually called, Tower Bridge in London.
Thank you, Gayla! So sorry to hear of the further restrictions in Sacramento, I know Easter was weird for everyone this year. Our dogs love the water, our last house had a pool and if it got hot enough they would get in but they never seemed to enjoy as much as natural bodies of water. We’re happy to hear you and the Mr. enjoyed the video - as always, thank you for watching and commenting! Happy Easter back at ya!!
Wow, that would be an unwelcome surprise! Thanks for the fun fact, Andy 👍
We love your dogs and cat .....nice that they are used to travel in RV....we lost our "BIG BEAR" few years back but we have the family with us......again stay safe ride safe.
I am retired and seriously thinking about moving there in April or May. Liked your video.
We love visiting Lake Havasu City. Thanks for sharing and reminding us why we love the place. Well we love it in the winter🤗
Our pleasure! I can’t imagine 100°+ temps in the summer, it’s a good thing they have that lake to jump into 🥵
My brother lives in Havasu. He works at Parker Dam. It’s a great city to visit.
Next time you’re there go up to Oatman to visit the wild donkeys. That is an experience. Thanks for the fun video.
Hope you are safe👍👍👍
Thank you, Doug - we are 👍Same to you!
I grew up in Lake Havasu. I live in Ohio now. Really awesome to see a different prospective from someone who has never been before. Thanks so much for sharing.
Ooooh-aaaaaah
Tucson and Mt. Lemon are very cool too! It was 90 in Tucson and very windy with snow on the ground on top of Mt. Lemon.
We were actually in Tucson in December, we have a video on it 😊 Unfortunately, we missed Mt. Lemon while there... actually, we missed a ton of things we were interested in around Tucson and look forward to returning one day!
You guys have been to a couple places I've lived. Thermopolis and lake havasu city
Both fun places! And, I imagine, on opposite ends of the temperature spectrum - I know Lake Havasu City is crazy hot in the summer and Thermopolis must be crazy cold in the winter being in WY. You just need to be a snowbird between those 2 cities!!
The pups in the phone booth was awesome!

We really appreciate that Ann-Marie! We are well, same to you!
Great job choreographing the fireworks to the music!
Glad you enjoyed, it was a fun one to edit!
🤙 another sweet vijo !
Arizona is a very cool place! Thanks for sharing your adventure. It’s always great to see your puppies running around! Be safe during this really weird time. Looking forward to more of your adventures!
i don,t believe it. 0345 the sun will be up soon have i been watching your vlogs this long???? started yesterday lol

Awww, thank you 😊 We think so too!
Wonderful video! SAFE TRAVELS
So glad you enjoyed, Ron. Thank you 🙏
Stay safe & healthy you guys............see you soon.............Mike from UK.
Thank you, Mike - same to you!

Thank you, Bill! The dogs do love the water, especially on a warm day. Thank you for the kind words and wishes, same to you!
Bridge water channel looked like a nice area to hang out.
We weren't expecting that, it was a pleasant surprise. It's a fun place just to cop-a-squat along the channel and people watch.

We had a hard time finding something because it was later in the day and there were still a lot of people in the area. We would have loved to have found a place near the water. Glad you found a nice spot to camp. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing your journey. We love to see your videos. Stay safe!!
When we scouted out the various boondocking options, Craggy Wash BLM just north of LHC was our favorite but entirely too busy and many people that looked like they had far outstayed their 14 day limit. Of all the public land places we checked none were on the water, but if you had the ability to get up high enough on The Steps you could get a really nice view of the Colorado River. Lake Havasu State Park offered overflow parking just like Cattail Cover SP did, but theirs was right on the river which was pretty nice. We decided against that because we didn’t want to pay to dry camp but it is an option if you want to be as close to the river as possible. We are doing well, thanks for asking - same to you!
we were there the weekend of the 7th and those lands were already getting full with everyone picking the perfect spot.. my mom and dad live there and let us know all about the firework show.. thank you for sharing the video! this is a fun place to visit
It is a very busy area that time of year and for good reason... It’s definitely a fun place to spend some time, especially during the fireworks show!
Awesome video cool London Bridge story🙂
Glad to hear you enjoyed, thank you for watching and commenting!
I came to Arizona in Jan. and here it is Apr. still here. My wandering has been only about a beautiful 300 mile area. Now I'm staying in place during the Virus in beautiful Havasu. Have no clue when I will get to travel really dont care as the view is super here.
We’re glad for you that you’ve found a place where you’re happy to spend this past winter and beyond. Please stay safe and enjoy the view!
Still, I enjoyed this story, Thank you,,,,,ありがとう、、、、
Glad you enjoyed, thank you!
Hi guys, what a great video! I have been here in Q since December and didn’t know about the winter blast or fireworks but enjoyed your coverage. The london bridge tour and pics of the dogs were adorable. Thanks so much!
Good Vid! I've been to Havasu many times since 1978, mostly boating when younger. Last few years just for the day on my Motorcycle trips while camping in the Parker area! Always enjoy watching your Adventures!!!
Glad you enjoyed, Larry! We enjoyed exploring Havasu, the area surrounding the channel and London Bridge are a lot of fun. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Enjoy the videos guys, was wondering what you do with your cat when you guys are off exploring with the dogs?
Glad you’re enjoying - thank you, Sandia! Jack the cat stays in the trailer when we’re not traveling. We’ve been living in the trailer for close to 3 years now so it’s home to all of us, he’s very comfortable and happy there 👍
Wow looks like an awesome place. Jessica interviewed at the hospital there but we ended up coming here to Reno 🤣
Really enjoyed this one. The dogs stole the show quite often, however!
Nice video
Thank you, Tim! 😊
Funny this was in my recommended I live in lake Havasu, it’s nice but summer here sucks lolz 120 heat and up is killer, great video!
Cyra Wolfire But it’s a dry heat!😊
Enjoying all of Your adventures and watching Your experience with Your transmission. How did You figure out it was Your torque converter? We are having a similar problem. Thanks and looking forward to more adventures.
Thank you Steve & Carolyn 😊Honestly, it was kind of a fluke. We suspected the torque converter was always the problem after the rebuild, but it didn't make sense because it was supposed to be the very similar specs to the torque converter it was replacing. It wasn't until the shop called the distributor, that we found out they had shipped the wrong type causing our new problem. It was only slightly different without the trailer, but once we added weight it was VERY apparent something wasn't right. Sorry I don't have a clearer answer for you. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@EmbracingDetours Thanks for the information. Love Your videos!
Awesome video guys! Cool fireworks, Lake Havasu seemed kinda neat also..Who has the money and the time AND the idea to move that huge bridge to AZ from London? Thanks again!!! 🥰👍👌🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Loran! I had the same reaction as you about the London Bridge. Someone else commented above that the bridge was purchased at auction for $2M... I can't imagine the money and labor it took to deconstruct it, ship it over to the States and reconstruct it. But, I guess it's served its purpose by attracting people to the area so perhaps a smart idea and money well spent. Glad you enjoyed, as always thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Bri Thanks for always answering viewer comments! Much appreciated! 😊👍👌🎉Also noticed how many subscribers you’ve added in the last year and also your getting lots of views the last 6 months or so! Congrats!🎈🎉🎊
London Bridge is a pub story
Well we played along then!
Good stuff.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Embracing Detours Just recently found and subscribed to your channel, tons of awesome videos!!! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your travels with the world.
Another awesome video! You said you've been to Sedona? Did you do a video for Sedona? I would love to see it.
Thank you, Sean! We have been to Sedona but it was pre-RV and YT channel so unfortunately, no video 🙁It's a wonderful place and we do look forward to returning one day in the RV and making a video, but before repeating places we want to visit places we haven't seen yet first.
@@EmbracingDetours ...completely understandable. Although there are places we'd love to return to, Pike's Peak in Colorado, Angels Landing in Utah, Hollywood, there are so many other places we'd want to visit before we revisit those other places. Again, continue to be safe. Toilet paper is becoming easier to find, 😁 Keep your hands clean and don't touch your face. But seriously, please take care. I love your videos! ❤
I woukd recomend going to at keast San Phillipe in Baja CA. Stay at an RV park or even going all the way to Cabo San Lucas.
Up river is an amazing camp spot on the river if you’re dragging a boat or rent one. Willow beach marina & campground.
It’s near Hoover dam and you boat they canyon up to Hoover dam.
Feel free to send me a note for details/pics.
I lived there for three years. Don't need to EAT ANYMORE!!
❤️❤️
someone had fun editing the fireworks segment! so fun! so which one of you does the video editing?
Haha, indeed!! 🎆😆TJ does the editing - I edited my 2 Italy videos and enjoyed the process but it's a lot of work!!!
Thank you so much for your great videos! I am a full time van dweller native aridzonian. My dream trip is the 191 highway. I have traveled on most the Arizona parts. The 191 at most the southern point is Douglas AZ and ends at the Canadian Border. Every fifty to a hundred miles along, and small excursions off the 191 are National parks, Monuments, State parks, Natural areas, Preserves, Mines ( you literally drive though an open pit copper mine on the 191), and the list goes on and on. I could spend a half a year exploring this route. Their are no videos of the entire route. Most of the road is two lane. Not very well traveled at all. I think you guys would really enjoy this trip. Check it out on google maps! Happy trails!
Oh wow, this is the first we'd heard of U.S. Route 191, thank you so much for the introduction! Two lane back roads, not well traveled, small excursions every every hundred miles or so... It sounds perfect 😍 We'll add it to our list, thank you again Glenn!!
Great video. What do you all do for an income. Stay healthy and safe.
thumbs up
Thank you, David!
@@EmbracingDetours thank you for sharing
Beutiful Fireworks !! In Sweden Firework is Almost Prohibided since It is so "Bad too the Clima" hope You Understand ! The World is Very Strange in our Cou. !!!
I did not realize fireworks were banned in other countries! Glad you were able to enjoy them through our video, thank you for watching and commenting 👍😊
Which direction next? Is the fireworks display same time every year?
Next week, Death Valley Nat'l Park! I believe the Havasu Winter Blast is mid-February every year.
Embracing Detours
I thought they closed the parks, I need to get on the road. CA is suffocating me.
All of this was actually filmed back in February and early March before Covid-19. We aren’t currently traveling and are quickly getting caught up on on our backlog of videos 😯 We understand how you feel, hopefully we’ll be past the worst of it soon. Hang in there and stay safe.
Dose it snow there ???
It does not snow in lake Havasu... the only time it has was a couple of years ago.
I started going to Lake Havasu in 1964 I was 10 years old the London Bridge is still in London Cattail Cove wasn't built we would launch her boat at midnight down by the dam put all our camping stuff in and take off across the lake I find a camp spot on the Arizona side Arizona state campground dollar night the campgrounds were spread out so we could let her dogs run loose all weekend Camp right on the shore then they put in the bridge built Cattail Cove it was a dirt road at first then we start going to Cattail Cove cuz we like to camp just south of there at satellite Cove I used to love going water skiing at Twilight when the water was like glass not another boat on the lake when we would leave cat tail on Sunday we'd see maybe two or three people camping there we didn't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them being so far away from the water being so close to one another with their dogs on a leash the last time I was there 1990 helicopter flew 10 ft over the boat looking to see if I had beer luckily I didn't I was on my way to get more that was my last trip I swore I'd never go back I know people that have gotten infections from the pollution in the water in the canal by the bridge they have carbon monoxide sensors in the canal when it gets too bad alarm goes off and everybody has to shut off their boat to keep people from dying in my day it was a place to go to be wild and free now it's a place to go on vacation I'm come home on probation I think I know how the Native Americans feel when they see the land they love overtaken by prosperity I have love in my heart Lake Havasu but I'll never go back oil bag mark
I started going in “75” now I go but during the week not weekend. And I head up river. Beautiful beaches and canyons. Love it!
Air 105 and water 80 is my favorite temperature.
Nikki is all sad and depressed now seeing Maddly and Brody and not getting to hang out with them. LOL
What does mean HAVASU?and what kinds a language?
Sounds like maybe some gun shy training may help the dogs deal with fireworks. I had a weimaraner that I had to get trained for gun shots and training him to bird hunt. Those are hunting dogs. Some professional training should cure them, at least youtube it and see if there is self help.
As you probably found out later, there's thousands of acres of blm in quartzite Arizona just south of you.
Cool video but work on your audio, stay safe Peace ☮️
Thank you for the feedback, we’ve been really struggling with audio lately and are working on it.
Ah Um Ah Um Ah Um
I would like to say thank you for not traveling and staying safe. So many other rvers on youtube should take your lead instead of acting like it is nothing and going everywhere. Stay safe.
Absolutely! We agree it is important to follow the recommendations of health officials and are doing our part to flatten the curve. Thank you, please stay safe too.
Enjoyed your video. I travelled to same places-lots of varieties along Colorado River so I saw different perspectives. I put my videos on TH-cam. Search TH-cam with my name & words like Colorado River, lake Havasu, Yuma, etc. Have travels.
12th lol
🏅👍😁
Beard has to go
You shouldn’t self isolate, but okay..
We go to Cattail cove often! We are currently boondocking near Lake Havasu and love our spot! Safe travels!
Ig- livedreamlovetravel
That’s awesome, it’s a great place to spend time! Enjoy, stay safe and we’ll check out your IG.
