Hi Russ,,, Mark and Brenda here... Guess what ? We are finally getting out of Henderson... Leaving in 3 days.. Sold home... Forever gone from the Dead Pool Lake Mead ! Going up north where there is water... Can't live in the desert without water... Great Video Russ !
Based upon the documentation you've been providing, Russ, my uneducated eye tells me that the situation is rapidly deteriorating. My bet is that Hoover Dam will be out of the power generating business very soon.
Boulder city has one of the largest solar power plants in the nation, that's probably why they are letting the Hoover Dam go they don't need it for power anymore.
Back in 1968 we had a 42' Hatteras on Lake Mead, and docked there at Hemingway Marina. Many great memories for quite a few years. It breaks my heart to see how low Mead is. Your video was one of the best I've seen there, especially the crane lift of that yacht. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

Why would anyone want to pay that much to float a boat that size in a lake that is disappearing? I’m not trying to be judgmental, just trying to understand……
The video left before the boat was completely lowered. The guy next to it was only in water up to waist. That boats draft has to be more than a few feet. And people with boats with really shallow drafts and experienced are getting hung up on shelves on the lake. What was the owner even thinking since the lake is going down. I expected the opposite... more people pulling their boats out.. not in. Too much money and not enough sense I guess.
Very sad 😔 to see 👀 😢 the lake like this, and it seems like a big waste of money 💰 to launch a boat into that lake right now 😕. Hard to see how anyone can really afford to do this and make the money legally 😆. Thanks for the update, Russ
It sure is crazy to be putting a boat IN the lake under these conditions, more like it's time to do the last ever HAUL OUT! As tough as the boat insurers are these days, I am surprised that all the companies are not telling boat owners that they should be pulling out the boat if they want coverage to continue. That will probably soon be coming.
Man has to learn not to mess with Mother Nature……golf courses In the dessert, green lush lawns in towns, building towns and communities in arid places, ……The dessert is a dry, dry place. Respect Mother Nature
You are a genius video producer and I'm now supporting your channel Very in depth You should be sending these to the Vegas news stations or getting air time on TV very very detailed That zoom pan out of the lake and the fact that marina is almost hitting that island is amazing Thanks for these videos
I could be wrong but the NASA picture of July 2022 looks to show the Colorado River cut off from Lake Mead. Far left side of the photo, correct? Am I wrong?
Lake Mead dropped almost two inches in the past two days. Accelerating. Due to drought, much much less coming down from Glenn Canyon Dam at Lake Powell, Colorado River downstream uses, and the V shape of the lake. Very sad. Very surprised at the huge boat being able to actually crane to launch. Soon that will be how the remaining big boats get taken out of the water, I bet.
@@ms.construed1305 what scientists havn't revealed to the public is tetonic plates are pushing upwards cause a buckling in the earth's crust and strangling that area causing a blockage that's why the waters going down but they don't want to start a panic but that's what's happening the inner core of the earth is heating up especially with the influx of solar flares hitting us on a daily basis think of it as a microwave oven heating from the inside I watch dtechs videos too
@@ms.construed1305 may be very possible. No rain falling north of Mead . Also no rain north of Powell. So if Pow dosen't let water out no water can get to Mead . Rain over Mead for runoff won't help much . The rain Mead needs to raise water levels must be farther north of Powell.
No way. It’s in a desert and it always was. There’s too many cities (here talking to you Vegas) drawing off of it. I’m on Colorado and I can tell you the Colorado river is running just fine. But it’s a finite resource
Russ your the man. What great videos. quality work and I enjoy listening to your narrative. You have a laugh like my longtime friend Rod. He has a boat, I am not sure where all he has been with it. Looking forward to more videos. Save journey.
This is the first time I’ve seen something like that your camera work was amazing keep up the great work. I love watching your videos and seeing all the cool places you go. Sad to see the lake disappearing spent many years boating on that lake.
what they need for large boats is to unhook a trailer from the vehicle (couldn't easily with that one though) and have the trailer on a winch anchored to the ground and just winch the trailer as far as you need down in to the lake for the boat to float.
not saying Vegas is using the water but did the construction unground tunnel is it draining the lake ? Seem the water start dropping much faster as they where building it..
When you drive through Vegas you will see where all the water went to..they used and used and never put it back what a shame back in the 80' s and 90' s you couldn't see the other side.thank all of the construction for using it up.thanks for the video the boat ride the other day looked so sad another lake gone lake Powell gone it's a dry bed now the great salt lake is almost gone.numerous lakes in CA gone.safe travels to you.
Time to close Lake Mead to the public. shut down electric plant and let it refill. Only generate electric in the heat of summer. Begin to use wind generation to generate power the rest of the year.
We’ve had drought here in Australia too, but recovering. So shocking to see how rapidly the water is dropping! How will Las Vegas cope if this trend continues? Must be worrying. Have been following your wonderful, casual, travel for quite a long time now. So informative and couch watching the history of America with you helped us through our lockdowns in recent times! Thanks Russ, Jo and Den from Melbourne!
Las Vegas is scheduled to CLOSE on Dec. 31, 2025. Evacuation is mandatory by October 1, 2025 unless you work at a hospital, police department or fire department.
Omg that crane launch! I’ve never seen anything like it. My ex and I spent every summer at Lake Mead back in the mid to late 90s. We stayed at the Gold Strike Inn (now Hoover Dam Lodge) and we always launched at Hemenway. It’s unrecognizable now and it is beyond sad to see the lake disappear. Thanks for your wonderful videos!
@@jaysantos536 He will, but it's going to cost him another $5+k. My guess is they worked on the boat and they need to test it. You are right, it makes NO sense to put that big of a boat in the lake now.
@@patfranks785 If dude has that much cash to WASTE I'm guessing he might want to consider hauling that boat north 400 miles and dropping it into LAKE TAHOE instead. I hear that lake is "slightly" deeper than Mead right about now. LOL
Was there at Hemenway in summer of 1978, man what a different world there then as compared to now. Clear clean sparkling water then. Not much people either. Very scary situation now. No one really knows how it will all end up.
Water level is amazing enough. More amazing is the number of residences being built in Southern California. Construction of those homes alone requires massive amounts of water from grading through concrete structures and then the home owners. Not to include green spaces and swimming pools. Just a reminder that everything you see that is green and growing is not native and all plants and trees are imports. California use to be grassland and semi arid and semi desert with an average rainfall of 7 to 8 inches per year. Since Hoover Dam and the L.A. aqueduct both of the early part of the 1900's has created this Eureka of California. The drive for gold of 1849 is only superseded for the drive for water of this century. High water tables and and very shallow wells was the key element of the early 1900's until the 1980's. Water depletion and deeper wells along with the drought is truly a triple threat to the Southwest. Great video.
Thanks for the informative video. It’s shocking seeing how long the boat ramp has become. I was holding my breath as the huge in-board/out-board boat was being trailered. You’re right…only experts could achieve that feat in water so shallow.
say Bro,,, good reporting. Question; is the 1937 water level mark the filling line from when Dam was constructed ? IF so,,, then it would take how many years to fill Lake Mead to the 2000 water level mark? The 1937 water mark took from then to the year 2000 to fill Lake Mead,,, correct? So for lake Mead to reach full capacity will take 63 YEAR'S! if there is RAIN! COOL.
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To my eye, the desert has never been beautiful. Add a few hundred miles of reservoir, it's still the desert. Hot, dry, brown. To those who like this sort of thing, I say, "Enjoy". For all of us, what has happened to Lake Mead is a tragedy. An unfolding catastrophe.
Very sad for that whole area. Having a boat is always a big expense, but having to launch like that ... wow. Can't imagine. Definitely history in the making. 🙂👍
Russ, you should sell coffee cups with just the base and hole for your finger and call it the lake mead coffee cup. Just like the Florida snow globe with just a carrot and a few pieces of coal in a snow globe. Big seller👍👍 Thanks for the update.
people don't realize that lake mead and lake powell should not exist. that whole area was (and actually is) a desert. the dams have exhausted the river. the land is just returning to its true state of being.
Surreal to see people still launching boats during a time that should be used to pack up and move to a safer state, before the chaos starts. The reservoir is vanishing quicker each day, yet all of the locals documenting this talk about it like it’s going to impact some poor unfortunate individuals except themselves. 😳
I've been around boats and lakes for a large part of my life. There is no way my boat would still be sitting at that marina, it would have been pulled out of there weeks ago.
🙋Hello Russ! The satellite picture really told the truth. Lake Meade was a great asset to the area years ago. Never thought they'd see this day where the levels would drop. Those fish were nice size. This is history in the making. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Stay cool!👍
I doubt this will ever recover. Just imagine how many people are tapped into this compared to when they originally filled it in the 30s. Humanity can survive without a lot of things, water is not one of them!
GOD BLESS , UNITED STATES AMERICA , RUSS , RVerTV FANS. WE LOVE RVerTV - GRAND JOURNEY THRU - U.S.A. - GRAND VIDEOS - GRAND MUSIC. GOD SEND RAIN ; REFILL COLORADO RIVER/ HOOVER DAM. THANK YOU RUSS.
NO, WE NEED SNOW IN THE ROCKEYS TO FILL THE COLORADO TO FILL LAKE POWELL THEN LAKE MEAD, FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS , THE WATER HS BEEN GOING DOWN SINCE 1990 WHEN I WAS THERE IT WAS FULL UP TO THE TOP , SOMETHING TO SEE
Before TOO long, I wouldn't be surprised if the crane guys get lots of calls to pull big boats and docks out of the lake before they are ponded and end up laying on their sides in the dust.

Thanks, Russ for the continuing coverage on Lake Mead. Truly historic and sad conditions.
Why would you leave your boat there ? I would of pulled mine out months ago .
Hey , Hey, It's RVerTV Russ, YEA Thanks for another video on lake mead, Your To Cool For School My Friend. 👍
Why would anyone want to pay that much to float a boat that size in a lake that is disappearing? I’m not trying to be judgmental, just trying to understand……
Farmers kept planting wheat during the dust bowl. Ever hopeful the drought would end this year.
Just shows there's no shortage of "Gilligan" boat owners ! Unbelievable !!!
Eventual insurance claim is all I can figure
That lake is still huge.

The boat towards the end with a crane. What a fool.
I've got pictures of us jumping off that water intake from 1982! It was about 40 feet to the water - now, almost 150 feet to the ROCKS!
I would be pulling my boat out , soon it will become part of the desert very sad, nice video Russ have a good day!!!
Wow, you were at the right place, at the right time! Great footage Russ!
Thanks for Sharing! Everything is possible. Beautiful boat in the air.
Thanks for these updates. This is nuts!
Thank you so much for your videos. I watch them all the time and used several of your recommendations for our trip this summer.
Howdy Russ! Appreciate the videos!
Enjoy all your videos but gotta say we've really enjoyed you taking us along this past week on lake Mead. 👍 Thanks
That just seems ridiculous-so much money and it’s going to have to come out the same way. I’d have long ago pulled my boat and relocated.
Thanks so much for showing us. I went many a day in the 80's. I remember the carp. Great views!
Very educational, thank you. So unbelievable what they had to do to launch at the only boat launch left.
great and awesome to see your yacht uncle paul!!love from the philippines ❤️❤️

And instead of putting more concrete and infrastructure,’they should be closing and evacuating it.

Wow, the crane launch was amazing. You’re lucky to have been there, I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet!
Actually that footage was rather boring. It would have been better if the boat slipped out of the harness and crashed. LOL
That is one cool boat Russ!
what they need for large boats is to unhook a trailer from the vehicle (couldn't easily with that one though) and have the trailer on a winch anchored to the ground and just winch the trailer as far as you need down in to the lake for the boat to float.
Agree 100 %
Just a food from the tow ball to the trailer is fine.
I have done the same in the winter with ice on the ramp.
Man, talk about the right place at the right time!
That was definitely awesome watching that boat get crayned all the way to the water 💦 that was just totally awesome great video russ
Enjoyed the lk. Tours it is sad though, but looking forward to your Utah trip be safe Mr. Russ👍

Thanks for bringing us along on your road trip. Maybe on your next video you could insert a map showing where you’re going?
Any idea how big that boat was?
So what’s the point of draining the Lake ? Repairs

because you have so much money you can afford to.

One of the things I find funny is, 50 years from now people will be wondering why is there boats out in the middle of the desert
