    It's good to see the lake rising some. The drought was scary not just there but several places around the U.S.
    Water is so precious.

      Still, we need to conserve water in any way we can.

    Wow what a difference a year makes. The lake and river is up as well as the boat landings. Impressive weather changes from last year. Thanks for including the video portions from last year for comparison. Your right, the water increases will take a lot of time. Thanks for revisiting the lake and river.

    Nice video, Russ! I really enjoyed the Joshua trees. They are such a strange and wonderful plant - one of my favorites! They make great sunrise or sunset backgrounds!🌅

    Lake Shasta water level is up to its tree line, first time I’ve ever seen it full. Am sure Gavin has the dam gates wide open, to drop the level, to keep whining for fed drought bucks. Fair Winds.

    Lake Mead: recent news says the water gain is up 50 ft but "only buys them a year". Other news say a super El Nino may bring more wet weather across the southern US hopefully helps. Can't imagine what would happen to the California/Nevada/AZ population if it does go dry.

    Lake Mead= looks like the Chamber of Commerce has embellished the facts. Another drought year and they are back to 2022.

    A 52 minute video.!! Flew by. Amazing how history has changed for the better for this year. Never would I have thought there could be so much greenery in the desert. Thanks for taking me along. Just for laughs I had to mow my greenery for 2 hours today. "NE Ohio". Still not as beautiful as the SW desert areas. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

    Hooray for rising water in the big lakes and Colorado River. Great for drought relief but the agencies involved in water distribution still must be careful to save what is left for the coming drier years.

    There's a saying : "Have you hugged a tree today ?" ... Not a thing you should do with a Yucca or a Joshua Tree ! LOL ! Now these are beautiful desert vistas you have captured. Excellent video, Russ !! Like you, I marvel at any place new I discover during my journeys, I remain a kid and a discoverer at heart !
    P.S. I just sold my 5-ton Ford RV. I had it for 22 years but everything has to come to an end one day. Now I'm traveling lighter in a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, smaller inside but much less expensive to run and maintain. Maybe a trip to the Southwest this year, God willing. Rafting on the Colorado River, not for me though !! RICHARD

    🙋‍♀Hello Russ! Yep! I giggled & waved back to you in the sideview mirror. hehe I loved the aerial views, seeing the cloud shadows skim across the mountain. I was glad to see Lake Meade looking better. What an improvement from last year. It had a sadness to it last year. I'm glad it turned out to be a beautiful day!👍

    Thanks a lot, Russ. That brought back a lot of memories from my raft trip down the Colorado through the Grand Canyon in 1972. At the time, we were living in Santa Barbara so we took the train from there to the south rim of the Grand Canyon and hiked down the Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch, where we caught the raft for a four day trip out. In those days the rafts were a lot smaller, accommodating only nine people per raft. The trip cost $160 per person and they furnished everything including all the food. All you had to bring was your sleeping bag. We also brought lightweight tube tents we could crawl inside when going through rapids. I have sent you a link to that album, in case you want to see it.

    I lived here in Kingman almost all my life from 79 my grandma moved there in 77 I think,then my other grandma and we fallowed after that and my daughter and family still live there , so you are enabling me to have so many memories, I had been going back and forth from Kingman Los Angeles and Flagstaff like I couldn't make up my mind were I wanted to be lol , I'm very happy I had moved around so much because I learned how to live self sufficient in the desert, city, and the mountains of Flagstaff, I also worked a season for the forest service up at lake Roosevelt, Arizona is my home over Los Angeles California without a doubt, there is nothing better than living in the land of dusty hot 🔥 beauty, thank you for your videos and if anyone here is or lived in Kingman I would like to say hi hope you are well , unfortunately I'm in Ohio now and cannot go back until my son is of age to decide what state he wants to live in because I could never ever leave him behind because he is my life, I left my daughter behind so many years ago and I will never make that mistake again, honestly i wish all 3 of us could be reunited in Arizona and never look back, hopefully some day, meadow if you see this I love you talk to you soon 😘 thanks again sir😢

    Where u shot that overlook at the end of your video is rigjt around the corner from where it really really changes . If someone covered your eyes and u went up river for a few miles u would think you got transported to another world!!! It would be a twilight zone moment !!! When i was in that part of the river in a bass boat in 2000 the river was really green and fertile.
