Loved this video, was at Kathrine's Landing years ago (back when I was young and had hair) great place to go if you have a young family and a boat and just enjoy life. Good job Russ!

Man Katherines Landing sure has changed! I lived and worked there in the early 90's in my Airstream...what a 🎉 party! That boat repair building you saw is where they maintain rental boats...mostly pontoon party houseboats.😎

Spent a great deal of my child hood at Katherines Landing back in the early 70's. NO off roading in the park.

Ruiss, we followed your footsteps along Hwy 60 across NM and Arizona. Man that Billy The Kid Museum was with it. Only $4.00 and I could have spent half a day there. We also visited the ruins at Socorro and then Pie Town. The only bad mistake I made was going on 89a through Jerome late in the evening. Oh that road. Thanks for showing us so much. Havagudun and stay safe.

Hey Russ remember what old man on Pawn Stars said ,boat stands for bust out another thousand!😆

Senior Pass is the way to go. I got mine when they were only $10, paid back on the first use. Now they are $80 and that is still a great deal. Just visit 3 or 4 parks and get 1/2 price camping. Doesn't take long to recoup the cost.

How beautiful the desert is... Thank you for giving us a ride... :-D

Wonderful dronevideo... i love the Dessert. Thanks Russ!

A.F.B. Senior pass--- best eighty bucks I've ever spent!!!!!

You are so enjoyable to listen to. Love your descriptions.

I'm with you Russ...if I ever got another boat it would definitely be a pontoon boat. absolutely...no doubt about ! Thanks for the ride ..the desert is beautiful .

You are so blessed to travel everywhere you go stay safe out there love your videos

Well, Russ my father picked up a 1957 Plymouth Desoto bran new in 1960. It was a pink Desoto with the 450 Himiny engine. It had a hard tip white top but he got a heck of a deal. We took it to Phoenix in 1964, my first time every to AZ.

There are trails in the mountains on the bullhead side. Also throughout golden valley there are trails running to the mountains. I like the north side of 68 for off road ing

Big Wave big guy from Colin and I from Osoyoos B.C. I watched you live stream on Sunday night. What a joy to see al those people you give so much hope to Russ. Thank you for your share. Carolyn and Colin Hogarth BC Canada...big Wave Russ...

I've been to Katherine's Landing twice but plan to go a lot more:-)

Russ. Thanks for another informative video. Lovely spot. Very nice place to camp. Love the Palm Trees! Love the green.

Hit the Hana' dispensary and hit the Road"😎👍👍

There is definitely some GOLD in those mountains..... You can see the different type of rock in tailings and if you pay attention to the large cobbles you can see all that area was an ancient river bed ........ I spent some time last month around the Lake Havasu area, I stayed near the London Bridge.......

🙋‍♀️Before You Tube came into my life, I thought the dessert was just a barren place with no life. All sand, dunes, cactus, & lizards. It is amazing how beautiful the dessert really is, with all the neat hidden gems we discover out there. Kind of brings back memories of how Gomer Pyle would always say to Sargent Carter, surprise surprise surprise! I enjoyed our day trip to Katherine's Landing. The boat ramp looked a little congested looking in a age for social distancing? Have a really good day Russ! 😊 Beautiful video brings out the blue colors of the sky, lake, various browns in the rock, sand, & the greenery in the shrubs👍

Here near the Phoenix area was something I never knew existed until about a year and a half ago...Canyon Lake...one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen! I've lived here for 40yrs! lol...I never knew!

Thanks for sharing! Love your videos! Like being there. Safe travels!

Russ; Would really like the data on daytime/nightime emperatures and whether wind is a factor, too. Safe travels. t

I agree. That one trail at the beginning of the video looks very interesting!

Great shots Russ!! Keep on truckin

lots of trails on the NV side, at the turn off to telephone cove is th trail to christmas tree pass!

Hey Russ!!! Another nice "DAY" Trip!!! Everything "LOOKING" Good!!!

Oh oh you found one of my play areas when we come down to AZ. Used our free senior passes a couple of times this week at Katherine's Landing.

Yeah the golden age card is a godsend when used to get into national parks. I bought mine years ago for $10.00 at Carlsbad caverns. Used it that day to let everyone in our party to go through the caverns. Same procedure in Colors. Yea best bu yin America. Nice video Russ thank .

So enjoy your channel. Great footage and drone shots👍

Been on that highway before but never stopped at Lake Mojave. Looks wonderful! Thanks Russ for the drone view of those mountains. 🌷🌴🐞🌲💥🐦🌝💫🦋⚘😎🐢🌵🍁😁🦊☕😎🤗🦆💟💥🧤🐶🎊🎈🎉♥️⛺🚐👍

Nice video. I really enjoyed the ride. Be Safe!

NICE 🤙🤙. Definition Of B.O.A.T. “Break Out Another Thousand “ 😂😂😂😂😂

Out scouting for trails cool idea Russ. We are here at Emerald Cove RV Resort in Parker for the big Off Road Race this weekend. Friday downtown Parker will host all of the racers and vendors from 8 - 5. You gotta come and film this event!

Thx for sharing!!

There are some huge boat ramps in that area.

It looks pretty crowded, but once you get out there on the water, it's not. I went out in my kayak once and I didn't see another soul. But those two other launches didn't have restrooms back then...

Russ, looks like you missed the cut-off date (August 28, 2017) for that lifetime senior pass, it was only $10 prior to that date. More than 1/3 of the seniors as of that date... didn’t get the opportunity to get in on the deal, and that was simply shameful of the NPS. Would have made sense to have the cut-off date on Dec 31st. This access pass is still a great deal for seniors even... at $80, and it’s great that you always mention it in your videos 👊😎

I just called them on 07/09/2021and they said the pass no longer have to be purchased on-line due to Covid. They can once again be purchased at the entrance booth.

Great video Russ thanks

Nice ride along. Pretty area. TY. 😊👍

Hey Russ there are mile and miles of trails around Golden Valley area. I live in Golden Valley and off road out my back door. We are close to Oatman and take our SXS all over the area. If you want to go riding let me know.

Good video Russ 👍

Russ I've never been in this area before, great video thanks

Really nice! Thanks!

The restaurant at Catherine's Landing was a great breakfast for us last time we camped there. My wife still has the sun hat she bought in the store there. Russ, will you please quit showing my favorite hidey hole campgrounds!!!😎

Liked the green desert grass!

Hey Russ ever heard of this one? Or two happiest days in a boat owners life are the day is he buys the boat in a day he sells a boat.

TY Russ

Hey Russ! Have you ever heard of the old saying: “The two happiest days in a boat owners life is the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat.”

that last time i went to Kathrine's landing was back in the '90s... wow, has that place changed! back then it was free to enter, there was a great coffee shop by the water, no crowds & there were hundreds of goldfish that loved to eat popcorn!! they sold the popcorn in a little general store next to the coffee shop..

BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand!

Howdy Russ 👍

Rod Zeka Hi Russ: Enjoyed the video of Kathrine Landing, but you missed the very nice Campground. Across the road from the Park Rangers Office is the South Campground. With your Pass a nights stay is $10.00. I will be there the week of Thanksgiving Holiday. Then Quartzsite in Dec.. Be safe.

FYI- for younger ones wanting to travel, you dont have to be a senior to get the ATB Parks card. They have one for all ages also, it just cost a few bucks more

A lot of noce facilities there Russ.

I just saw a video showing Mead being 130ft below normal but Mohave looks like it's only down about 20. I haven't been up there in about 15 years and I miss it a bit. Might have to run up this year.

Nice video

i was there in 1967 not many there then

👍👍😊

Woops--I meant VAN cave!!

Did you ever make it back and explore those off-road trails? There’s a lot of great winter riding in the area!

Why wouldn't you camp in Golden Valley? We have stopped there a couple of times. If you get there with little wind it is warm and cheap, with lots of options to either end of the highway.

It's said the two happiest days of one's life is the day you buy your boat and the day you sell your boat. Took a quick look at Google Earth, Russ: definitely good prospects, both photographically AND mineral-wise, for you and Dusty Nugget. Look forward to seeing what's out on those trails.

Come to California city desert area and i can take you to Husky Monument. Lots of desert riding and camping. Hookups if you desire or lots of boondocking.

I’m curious about your drone and camera gear. It obviously produces quailing presentations.

Love your videos! Been watching for years. Another KZreadr was saying a lot of camping was closed in Arizona is that true?

Hey Russ how about doing a review of secret Pass canyon in Bullhead city I heard it was fantastic happy trails buddy

Kathrine landing is a zoo on holidays and weekends but if you go on off days it is very user friendly and a blast and a half. There are off roads at the east end of Silvercreek road in Bullhead past WARMC that head towards Oatman I never went but many people take it. Thank you for the fun tour. 💕

If you go north on 93 To Cottonwood Rd.....15 miles.....you go back west about 20 miles to the lake. It is more primitive camping/trails and access. Across the River would be Cottonwood Cove Marina. Always travel with lots of water! A few weeks ago they issued a warning for swimming in the water....over use by inconsiderate campers dumping there sewage in the lake....idiots!

Nice Video like do Gold One Day

👍👍👍

Ray can u please, please give more Acura Ute info. Enough with the. Oooohhh maybe or ?…?..

dont forget cottonwood cove

How do you get the senior pass

A boat is actually a hole in the water in which to throw money

Russ, There's a Wellcraft in the man cave?

👍👍😎

Russ won't you need your boat to go over the tripoint of the three states, as the point would be in the center of the Colorado River.? That all looks like new dam, cities since I was down in the Vegas area in 2004.

Looks like on Google map that you were about a half mile from the tripoint of all three state when you flew your drone at the AVI Casino!

What day and time of year was this? A rare sight to see it so empty.

Imagine picking up speed on the way down before hitting the truck runaway ramp!!!! Yikes!!!

Is there any conversion van camping in that area

IF YOU ARE DISABLED THE CARD IS FREE.

Another great video Russ! Entertaining, informative and gives me ideas when I return to the area. Love Havasu area 3rd year in a row camping Cattail Cove and visiting other areas. Awesome! We are from the very rural parts of Florence AZ.

Were you in Dolan a bit ago today, shooting hoops ?

no mining ash deposit

Hay Russ; Any chance you could adjust your focus a bit?? I used to be able to read the signs along the road, but now it seems they are just a blur, then anything at any distance is a blur!!!! Hate to complain, but there I went!!! Just a little would bit would make your vids easer to watch!!!! Thanks loads, see ya !!!!

Do you have a home base, or live in van full time? Thanks! J

Good evening Russ, Very pretty area, kinda crowded still nice though. Missed live chat last evening I wanted to chat a bit. Love all the videos you share Thank you!! Be safe Larry & Linda

Go to Blue Mesa Reservoir in CO??? J

Hi Russ. My wife says the way you speak english has a slight Mexican accent. What do you make of that?

Yep boats are a bit like a horse even if it’s given to you if you can’t afford to have someone else look after it /feed n shelter health checks you can’t afford it

3/4 video driving in desert...weeee

You sound like a powwow em cee. lol

I used to launch my boat here for free, and now they want $25.

Guessed wrong about name Kathrine. Not of Aragon or de Medici. Be lousy if that was on Jeopardy... for sure.

You did not do justice to Katherine landing. You were too lazy to walk to the restaurant, bar, and store. Lots of activity and sightseeing.
