Take us away Russ..... traveling vicariously through you! 29 minutes of no stress and your upbeat narration
Thanks so much Russ 🙋♀️
I walk my dog every morning on the marsh, goose lake.
Hope viewers like our town

Enjoyed the ride. Thanks for getting us out.
Nice, very nice! Thanks Russ.
Thanks Russ. Nice to get out.
Morning Russ. Excellent video sir!
I got married one time in the campground. Topock is a fun place. Our Boy Scouts loved starting from here on the canoe trips. Bob Jarrard
Thank you! Really nice day out there.
That's Topock's Community Park, with Golden Shores just to the northeast.
I just love ❤️ your videos. Your
Peaceful words and voice.
Thanks Russ.!!
Thanks for getting me out of the house!! By the way, you're living my life!! Thanks for the videos Russ. You're doing a great job! 😎
No set destination, just drive (full of envy)
Right across the bridge you enter into Needles CA. Well worth mentioning from a geographical perspective
Hi Russ many, many moons ago,as a high school student, I worked at that Wildlife refuge. It was a summer job through Youth Conservation Corps. It was hard work and so hot 🥵 but a great experience. As a matter of fact I still have the orange hard hat we wore. Thx for reminding me of a great time in my life.
While I am sheltering in place, I still get to travel with your videos👍! Thank you so much, I appreciate your channel a lot! Stay well Russ 😊🌄👋
Thanks for the ride. I'm now one of those stay at home health care workers with family responsibilities and I really appreciate RV experts, like yourself, willing to share interesting travels. Take care and good rides.
I lived in Golden Shores in the early 70's. Crazy teenage years. At the Topock Marina you only see a bit of the boat dock area, but back in the early 70's and before, it used to be all underwater and we would have hydro races (sm boats). All of the green coming down to the first pull off is called the Sacramento Wash. It was treacherous when Kingman got rains, as it all washed down to the Colo River from there. And the wildlife area you stopped in about 16 min mark (at the mouth of the Sac Wash) used to be completely underwater, and had the greatest fishing. It linked to the Topock Marina and Colorado River. Drone footage showed Catfish Paradise, just north of the levee and back in the day all of the area was under water, except for the levee itself. Gesh, the wild stores I could tell would make you laugh for years. It definitely wasn’t a place for teenagers as everyone was at least 65 and older and alcoholics. Nothing else to do there but drink to get you through the scorching summers. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings.
The mountains in the distance are called the needles.
Hi Rus how are you like your life style traveling enjoying countryside .one thing take care of yourself very much from Crona Virus very much God Bless you.
Russ this is so awesome that you are doing this for all of us that are stuck at home.
Thank you my friend you are an amazing person for doing this great job.
Hi Russ, If you came to the U.K. to drive about you would have a bit of a culture shock. Such fabulous wide open spaces.Very interested as my car came from Mohave which i am restoring. Keep up the good work. Regards, David.
To our Brothers and sisters, aunts and uncle‘s in the UK: this area of Topock gorge north of Lake Havasu city is truly one of the best places you could find in the US if you like nature, fresh air and lots of sunshine. Bring your swimsuits and come and enjoy this with us as soon as our crisis ends.
The pipeline on the AZ side goes to a pumping station and a LNG plant. I was one of the engineers who built the plant. I also commissioned it and started it up. I think you called it a truck stop. Trucks do pick up product there.
Nice video. I like that you're just driving without a destination in mind; exploring and sharing as you go. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Video quality is nice & clear and narrator knows his stuff.
Hi Russ, that's a wonderful restaurant at the Topock Marina and also quite the hopping night life destination. We've had lunch there on two different occasions, one time with a friend from Havasu that introduced us to the place. He has a pontoon boat we rode up from Havasu and on the second occasion we were staying in Bullhead and drove in. Order a beer at the restaurant and they have a very unique way of filling the plastic cup from the bottom up.
Great riding along with you russ. Especially when we’re stuck in the house. Keep the videos coming. Love the desert.
I love that you are simply exploring the small desert/river towns! I live the drone footage too! This was simple but absolutely captivating! I would have loved if you spent more time ar the marina!
Thanks for the tour! 😎 Keep up the great work!
Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
Thanks for the tour and the drone footage really gives a whole different perspective.
Excellent vid Russ, thanks for keeping us entertained bro, I love your little forays out into the desert.
Always interesting to see things from the air. So much more there than you can see from the road. Nice ride!
I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a thumbs up!
Thanks for the ride Russ
Great video, looking forward to them throughout to year with the new van. Love the drone videos also 👍
Always a pleasure riding along with you. You could call your explorations the Corona Chronicles! Charles Kuralt couldn't have done better!
Great Morning Russ. 👍🚐
The desert in Arizona is the Sonoran desert not the Mojave . The difference is the habit. Notice that wild sagauro cactus only live on the Arizona side of the Colorado river. That being said, thanks for all your videos.
Good morning
..morning..
@@robertallen6710 good morning
I really enjoy your videos. Will be headed that direction in May. Can't wait.
I used to eat at the Marina all the time. They have great food.
THANKS FOR MAKING ME FREE AGAIN ....GREAT JOB
I really enjoyed that video and loved the drone shots. Safe travels Russ.
Lovin every minute of the road trip. Ya, sitting at home missing all that pretty Spring time beauty. Keep the camera going.
Your vids and narration are excellent. Thank you.
your the best, thx for doing this
Thanks much. I need to get back out west!
Van build looks fantastic! Thanks for the videos, iv based a few of my upcoming road trips (Montana/Idaho/Wyoming) based on your videos!
Russ,, We checked out Oatman and Topock recently, loved feeding the burros and stopped in at Topock for a cold beer on the way back to Havasu City!
Love you’re drone shots!
Hi Russ, wow, we’ve traveled that route so many times heading to Parker! Spent time in Needles, Bullhead city, stayed in Oatman couple days, really enjoyed the wild burros!
Excellent video! I been to Golden Shores many times. I remember when Golden Shores was the name of the marina and Topock was the city name. Oh, and the little blue post office building is no longer used, a newer one has taken its place quite awhile ago. Love the drone action, have to get me one of those.
Great video
The post office in Earp CA is very small also
Nice road trip
If they shut down everything, where to the truckers do there thing ? Read where a trucker drove up to a drive thru , it was closed , & the guy took the truckers order & drove thru , & got his order for him 👍
Gotta support our truckers...they're our lifeline!
Russ, you forgot to say " check it out." Love your very informative channel. 😇
Hi Russ, new subscribers from Fort Worth TX , we’re really enjoying your videos. Thank you, Al & Kathleen
thank you
The name of that bridge is long before route 66.the first road from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific ocean.The National old Trails Road bridge
Amazing how you get a stable video picture riding on that pullout after the TOPOC sign
cool channel,great videos.
Russ nice ride but I'm not sure Nevada is open I thought the governor shut it down or most of it. Safe travels 😊
There is a LNG plant just over on the Arizona side of the highway. I built that plant years ago.
That's Topock Bay your looking at. Before I was born my folks lived about 16 miles downstream of Hwy 66, where my dad ran a gauging station for the Corp of Engineers. That was back in 1938.
The arizona. Peace trail runs thru there maybe 1overpass before this one , you can see the bridge from the trail , its an off road trail loop 700+ miles , great scenery and takes you places you’ll never see from the road
Hi Russ Just got into Laughlin yesterday 👍
The bridge over the river with the gas lines, used to be the old route 66 vehicle bridge. I think it was in the " Grapes of Wrath" movie.
The best part of Topic is the other side of the restaurant. There is a pool and bandstand and a view of the river.
Missed you, Russ! Been laid up for a bit (not virus related) Stuck in the house but now I can at lea st " go for a ride" 😁 Great video.
I have never been to that part of Arizona. Nice area would like to visit someday. Thanks
2 yrs ago we go fishing in that marsh in goldenshore
👋😊
I went up that Dirt road with the BLM marker . Great place to watch trains.
Russ, i envy your life. Up in Reno...but having these 'daydreams...about driving down that way and Van Camping in my Honda Odyssey. Still trying to come to a decision on whether i'd be equipped for that...at almost 60, when...i haven't spent One Night yet... In it. Have tons however, of all the 'things'..one would need; ie; Jackery 500... Change Tent, Toilet Setup, Gas One Stove, Camp Pad and 0 degree Sleep bag, all that... Perhaps as we get more into Spring. Keep 'em coming. Love the Desert down there, as ...i'm a Vegas Native. Cheers!
I am looking for fall/winter road trip plans, in all your travels what winter item would you say you didn’t realize came in so handy (obviously tire chains/scraper etc) the normal items but have you found anything that was very helpful that most wouldn’t think to pack along for the trip?
Russ why did you not walk a little farther to see if that restaurant was open? Oh well!
Safe travels
The restaurant makes a great steak and has a pool and staging area for concerts.
What kind of drone are you using. These are awesome videos. Thanks
Wow looking at the land prices of that area there is gold in those small high priced lots. Unreal what they are asking compared to even Lake Havasu.
What is the antenna-looking-thing on your roof? Not the antenna on the front, but the one toward the back left that is black. Awesome video, thanks!
Hello Russ;how much battery life does your drone contain?🗽🗽👍👍
Looks like a water treatment plant at the end of the dirt road
Russ do you have a spare tire that you can get to easy?
Thank you for posting about Golden Shores we have a place there and love our little community.
What kind of drone camera do you use that is so stable? Also, do all drone cameras required a license?
🙋♀️Good Morning Russ! I really enjoyed this beautiful day out with you! It looks like the trains are busy, & some traffic on the Interstate, not many people on the water, with tourism dwindling, changes are taking place around us, as they are also away from us. I couldn't believe how pretty the greenery was in that area we visited. It was like being in two different worlds. I think you surprised yourself today with the 66 sign, & going to the refuge. 👍
P.S. By any chance did you notice the man? In the boat just over the hill from you yesterday when you put the drone up? I thought that was funny when you said that one boat was off to catch some fish, & he was there the whole time un-noticed.
This town is close to mohave valley and needles ca.
May I ask the brand Drone you are using? Thanks.
Do you like the Sprinter better than the other van?
What is the antenna on top of your van for?
imagine if we built Egyptian style pyramids along the Colorado river....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the white arch bridge for the gas lines the original 66 bridge?
The white arch bridge was used for US 66 until 1947. The Exit 1 BLM dirt road was the original railroad's (1890) roadbed back east for about three miles. Going west, the railroad ran past the tall black water tower, crossing the Colorado at a large truss bridge in 1890 that was later used by US 66 from 1947 until about 1968. The bridge was demolished in 1976.
I help my friends get places there I live in sandiego
On another note: How do you feel about the 'AIRTAB'S' ?
Been told by the gas company that that pipe goes from Houston to San Francisco...and jet fuel from Texas to vegas....

RVerTV - Saving Sanity, One Road Trip at a Time
By Kitty O'Meara......And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.
And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.
