The lake at 15 minutes is Senator Wash. In the late 70;s and early 80's I camped out there a lot and explored the trails on a Honda big red three wheeler. Lots of old mines and primitive shelters way out away from the wash. Good times. Some times we would have 5 or 6 three wheelers making a trip. Safety in numbers. Used to go way out, find a canyon and setup a temp firing range and plink away for hours. Hop on the three wheeler and back to the wash and camp. Back up S24 toward Winterhaven was a convenient store/bar we would go to have a beer and cool off and get ice and groceries. It was called" Cole's Corner".
The same LTVA permit that works at Imperial and Quartzsite also works at the LTVA west of Yuma near the Imperial Dunes as well as the Hot Springs LTVA near Holtville, CA and also a couple LTVAs west of Blythe, CA.
According to the BLM,brochure,non self contained vehicles,are not allowed at(Hot Springs,Tamarisk,Pilot Knob,and Midland,so if you’re in a car Or standard van,or tent,you are only allowed at La Pisa,Imperial Dam,Mule Mountain.
I meant La Posa.
How do you get a BLM brochure?
What a great camping area! I, too, bet this place gets packed. But, it’s all part of the journey. Good job, Russ! 💔
Stayed there last year...yes it does fill up later on in December and January. Lots of 4x4 trails and a couple of real nice lakes.
I lived at the Army Proving Grounds when my then-husband was stationed at MCAS Yuma. You were right by my little home and it was just so wonderful to see it. I gotta get my bus built and come out! Thanks for making me miss holidays in Arizona! ;)
Your videos are growing on me. So laid back and and informative.
Very nice and again great work at the Cloud Museum my Uncle Johnny's museum. The Imperial dam Uncle Johnny use to work on that dam as well as farming. Every time it's so fun Uncle Johnny takes us back on all those roads.Johnny knows them like the back of his hand, driving to search for wild Donkeys and they are out there and will crowd you when found.
Always enjoy your videos. You are so upbeat and positive, keep up the good work.
Awesome video wow cool place thanks Russ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦see you soon 👍
Thank you so very much Russ! You're AWESOMESAUCE!
At 6:25 you were at Senator's wash. It was a large wash emptying into the river. In about 1964 they decided to put a dam on the bottom side of the wash to make a water storage area. My buddy and I drove in the bottom of the wash when they were building it.
Love your videos. Thank you for your hard work.
I'm hoping to spend some time in the Yuma area next winter so This is super interesting for me. Thanks Russ!
Great video Russ. I’m sure I could find something to do for 180 days. Stay safe man. Cheers!!!
Very interesting. Seems like a good deal to me, even if the stores are a ride away. Just have to plan ahead. Love the drone footage. Thanks. 😊👍
Thanks Russ very informative video. 👍
The first dam is Laguna Dam. The next one is Imperial Dam. We're from Yuma & that is where I grew up. My dad worked for the Bureau of Reclamation & we moved over to the CA side & lived near the Dam for some years. It was wonderful, the lakes, reservoir, the dam and the river, it was a great place to live.
Nice video and great detail information tho. Safe camping
I like watching your videos, thanks.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Howdy Russ. The drone footage sure helps to give one a good perspective of the area. Very interesting.
Hi Russ, cool Video. The Reservoir you were at is called Senator Wash. It is used to temporarily store excess water that was inadvertently released from Parker Dam. The water is pumped into the Reservoir but when its released it flows through turbines and generates electricity. The Reservoir is low because some years ago a problem with seepage, in the bottom of the lake, was discovered so they keep the lake low because of this (and yes it is safe). There is only two places to store excess water downstream of Parker Dam, one is Senator Wash, the other is Brock Reservoir off the All American Canal. Imperial Dam is the last control point for water released from Parker Dam. Water flows from there to the All American and the Imperial Valley, the other is on the East side of the Dam into the Gila Main Canal which services the Yuma Valley area.
Nice work Russ!!
Thanks Russ
Water is low now. It was much higher a week ago. They pump this reservoir full then drain it down when irrigation requires.
Nice job with your presentation and drone footage!!
Hey Russ. I've been waiting for you to film the Imperial Dam LTVA for a while. I knew you would get to it. This is definitely a place I want to stay . I love the coverage and the drone coverage you did was awesome. From what I've seen, your drone works fantastic. I watched it a few times. Well done sir!
nice shots of the dam
Russ, you missed a great spot for camping on BLM, if you go past the army base the next street to the right takes you up the hill past a church campus, go up to the top of the hill, turn left and there is a very large BLM area overlooking Yuma. Great spot for off-roading and camping.
DAM Good Video.Russ.
In Duluth the roads are all busted up like this because of the cold, in this area it is due to the heat. The summertime LTVA rate changes but it's still really cheap.
Lived in Yuma for 40 years, miss it a lot. Moved because the medical in Yuma is horrible.
So many trees.
🙋🏻Hello Russ! I enjoyed this adventure to the LTVA. That was a really pretty color in that Lake. That was a really amazing museum Clouds had. My Father would have loved seeing those Model-T's. I would like to see how full it actually gets too. Maybe you can mark your calendar for December/January?
Looks like you need some extra gas cans for "The Mulee" for some off-road site seeing. 👍🤠
Nice video
Looks like a nice area. I could definitely stay there for 6 months or so during cooler weather. Thanks for posting this Russ. I can't wait for the next one.
This is the only channel only info I can find on blm especially after the riots and shutdown I made my long awaited 3rd cross country road trip and was not able to get any info on anything if I knew anything a few months ago i might still be out there
This was very informative. I was surprised to hear the 180 LTVA permit works here and around Quartzite. Can't thank you enough. This is very helpful. Thanks Russ!
Maybe that concrete pad is a dance floor LOL I mean why not dance under the stars at night on the Colorado River
Thanks for showing me this I think I will definitely stop there when I get in that area in November love your videos
The concrete pad was a dance floor at one time, complete with a roof for sun shade. I believe it burned better than 10 years ago... There is another one just past the area where the potable water and sewer dump station is located. Been going to Senator's Wash and Squaw lake for several years now, really enjoy taking a break from the park in Yuma for a little solitude and "Solar fun" !
A Weir regulates water flow. Weir's are called a "Drowning Machine" because of the undertow and spinning immediately downstream .
🌸 BuddyBoy long time no see! 🌸
Energy dissipation devices at the river Laguna Dam
That trailer park across from Laguna dam got shut down about 6 years ago because of septic problems, it is two close to the river, the lake is Ferguson lake, good duck hunting in the fall, the mountains to the west are the chocolate mountains, lots of mines and still have gold, if you come back with your ATV you can off road for miles, you could find me dry washing or metal detecting down one of those washes, great video Russ, keep up the good work.
Would that be what now is the Christian service center, rv storage and RV Solar Oasis Solar Installers?
yes aerating it
It is what the caméra ?
👋😊
My cousin and his wife are the camp hosts where you turned around below the dam
nice
Tell them I said thank you
Russ, the BLM still has no long term permits for sale (they are coming any day supposedly) so anyone in the area who wants to check out the long term areas you won't be charged anything to stay until the permits arrive.
Wish you would've taken the access road down to the beach....interested to know if a class a could make it
Yes your class a will make it
Absolutely no problem, even a 45' tandem axle...
Hi, your in a van? I've been preparing to leave long term in my van and got solar power, plenty water, and buying a fridge next month November. These passes for long term parking are also good for vans?
Only for La Posa and Imperial Dam (in non-RV) and even so you have to camp within 500' of a toilet.
If this is in California and you shop in Yuma is there a problem bringing your supplies back into Califonia?
Nope.
No check points to there.
Many so called free camping areas are now being restricted. Many long timers with channels are now moving into the homesteading community. The vandweller lifestyle has jumped the shark. Idaho authorities will definitely confront anyone with out of state plates, unless you are in a designated fee camping area.
Great video. Didn’t realize how nice this area is. Too bad there isn’t a 14 day area there also. We don’t like to stay put that long. Headed down right after Christmas.
1152jerry you can stay at any of the LTVAs for 14 days with a $40 permit and be able to use their facilities (water, dump station and trash dumpsters)
1152jerry … 14-day, fee paid limit around most of the Senator Wash Reservoir and Squaw Lake campgrounds. 14-day, free camping just west of the LTVA (not too many people take advantage of this).
Can a person stay at an rv park if they pitch a tent if they don't have a trailer or motor home
You can tent camp on the water here for 2 weeks out of the month for $75 for the season. You drove by the Christian service center, you can get your mail there also propane, drinking water and church Sunday and Wednesday.
You can car or tent camp if you stay close to the bathrooms (LTVA). Most BLM land there are no tent restrictions.
Russ, you said this one may be larger than the Quartzsite ones. I am hoping there was a lot more open space beyond where your camera went. I am always concerned about turn around space with my 45' footer. Did you see open land beyond that dumping area? At least with this video, I know not to take my coach down to the dam :) I am hoping to stay at this LTVA this winter. I may be down there in November.
There is plenty of open area here. The dump location is just the beginning.
3500 acres you can definitely turn your camper around
@@marjorieward4972 My camper is a 46,000lb , 45foot DP. There are a lot of places on BLM where you can't go with this monster. Thanks for your reply
@@ZeebNinja Your "Monster" wouldn't have any problems getting down to the beach. Seen many of them down there over the years... Just take your time.
,+ Holtville hot springs BLM LTVA. Holtville Ca.
Holtville lta camping
What do people do that are camping? Are there things to do or do they just stay inside the camp site?
David Glaum when I stayed there I did a lot of biking :)
1 mile from the long term to hunt. Other than that everything is here!
E.Z. Livin It sure is different from Northern Illinois a whole lot of green around us. But it sure is pretty country out by you.
Lacking in trees and rainfall but the dry and mild Temps are great through the winter. Come visit but please leave the mosquitos up north!
Hiking, biking and kayaking.
They sell propane, and there’s real restrooms with running water and flush toilets
Could’ve used a little zoom on that dam shot
which dam shot you referring to.. the dam shot from the drone, or the dam shot from the truck.. I think all the dam shots are well done but do agree there could have been a bit of dam zoom.. :)
Honestly I think thats finished, treated, sewer water. But don't harm me if im wrong please, lol.
I wonder why so many people are camping right next to the road?
In many of the smaller campgrounds, those are the only areas you can setup. The large area is just west of the Host site and people spread out but as it fills up, you'll see many right next to the road too.
Because they are staying on the flat, graded area and not in the gullies.
Wish you would've taken the access road down to the beach...interested if a class a would make it
@@mikeinsanediego Class A's have no difficulty at all down at the beach (South Shore). As well as 40' 5th wheels.
Nice, but not going into CA, too much anti 2A legislation
