Hoover Dam Tour 2022!
Lake Mead was regularly in the news during the summer of 2022 because of record-low water levels. At the time of this recording, Lake Mead measured at 1,044.03 feet, its lowest elevation since it was was filled in the 1930s. If the reservoir drops another 150 feet, it will no longer be able to flow through the dam.
This record-breaking drought has also brought memories of old Las Vegas to the surface, literally, as bodies have been found trapped in barrels, presumably sunken decades ago by the mob.
Overall the Hoover Dam is one of the top destinations I recommend visiting anywhere in the United States. It's not only one-of-a-kind here, but anywhere in the world. The tour team is excellent and it was a great experience overall.

Another incredible kayaking trip to Doctors Lake in Clay County, FL. This is an amazing place to kayak, under the right conditions.

Hidden Treasure! Perfect Intracoastal Kayaking - Bing's Landing, Palm Coast, FL

    I have been up there 6 times. it is a great hike and not too long. It is rated extremely difficult but as long as you are doing it in cooler weather it is not that hard. I live in Minnesota, it's about 1000 feet ASL here in the Twin Cities area which is about the same as Phoenix, the top of Piestewa is 2612 feet ASL. I've done a lot of hiking in AZ and never really experienced any problems with the elevation. I've done both routes up Camelback, that's a great hike also. The most challenging and rewarding hike I have ever done in the Phoenix area is Flatiron, it is more difficult but the views are worth it, I highly recommend it, just bring gloves and plenty of water.

    Ya I wouldn’t do Jax waterways. At least the one on mainstreet under the bridge by the frisbee golf course is literally a cesspool for waste where homeless just pee/poop straight into the River. It has to run off right near where McCoys is. It might even connect to under the bridge where they do it. It’s absolutely disgusting. Looks like a straight up sewage plant where they stay under the bridge. Gotta stay out in the river or not downtown lol

    I love it that there's people who lived in Florida for years and still think alligators are gonna try and kill u. Lol alligators don't want anything to do with us unless there being fed by humans then they will get aggressive come looking for food. But other than that gators don't want anything to do with us. Also the only crocodiles we have here in Florida are way way south Florida in tue everglades. And everything else snapper turtles gator snappers and your common Florida snappers are harmless. Also the pic u showed was a alligator gar amd they are becoming quite scarce in Florida. But there are alot of Florida spotted gars which don't get very big and we have long nose gars that are harmless as well. The gars just suck getting off your line that's all. I've lived in Okeechobee and taken my kayak out on the big lake during breeding season and right right through Hu dress of gators before some bigger than my yak and they just slip off the bank or go under amd wait for me to leave. I've fished right in the middle of some big males and females trying to mate and caught bass right by gators. Honeslty salt water is way more dangerous to fish in a yak then anything because of the sharks once u hook into a fish depending where your at u gotta get it in quick so the sharks don't get your fish. Oh amd the sharks will come right up to your yak especially if u gotta fish on so salt water fishing is more extreme in a kayak. Anyways love kayak fishing and keep up all the good vids brother
