      Hi, Can you tell me if there is a road that goes down to the lake area from the BLM staging area? How close to the lake can we get with a 26' RV? What I was wondering is if we could boondock above at the BLM area, put our boat in the water at the south ramp and drive it over to the NE side of the lake and park the boat there for the weekend and have access to it from the BLM area. Drive our truck as close to the water as we can get to access the boat?

    Beautiful area to camp in. The views of the distant Lake Pleasant and mountain sides is what makes desert camping some of the best. The views are panoramic for miles. I had no idea AZ had a population of wild burros. I live in New Mexico and we have wild mustang horses in the Northwest part of the state that is primarily on tribal and state lands.
    I was guided to your channel from a viewer leaving me a comment on mine. I am glad he did.

      I read a book a while back about Virginia City in its heyday (The Big Bonanza by C B Glasscock). The author quotes the Sacramento Union newspaper as reckoning the number of animals (horses, oxen, mules, and burros) used by freighters on the routes from Sacramento to Virginia City (162 miles) to typically be 14,652 in 1863. That didn't count stages, mining operations, solo prospectors, and everyone else. That has to be representative of the many boom towns of the era. When you think about those sheer numbers, it isn't any wonder there's still a few out there wandering, mostly shying away from humans. Except in Oatman, where they've grown accustomed to being fed by tourists. Oatman is a trip. Lots of youtube videos.

    Back in the 1960s up to the late 70s early 80s before the new dam there used to be a canyon on the northwest side of Lake Pleasant. Once you got about a half-mile back you started noticing water. Once you got about a mile back there was water flowing with a small waterfall flowing over a quartz vein that came down one Hillside across the creek and back up the other Hill. We used to go quail hunting back that Canyon all the time and see deer and javelina all kinds of creatures back there. Now it's under water which is a shame! The creek bed used to be full of geodes as well unbroken ones. I would have liked to run a gold pan through the material below that quartz vein before it was covered over by Lake Pleasant. Would have been interesting to see how much gold was just below that quartz vein! It used to be very quiet back there because it was dirt road all the way from I-17 to Lake Pleasant and the same goes for 99th Avenue. Now there's just too many people in that area to really enjoy it anymore...

    So beautiful. I missed this video when you first posted it a few days ago. I decided to do a little winter camping down in the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee and catch a few trout. My Kodiak tent kept me fairly warm with a good sleeping bag and a mr. Buddy Heater. I was so sick of Television social media and the news I felt I must get away. And of course down there in the National Forest there is no cell service or electricity or anything. I came home feeling totally renewed. I always enjoy all the beautiful work that you put into your videos. Thanks for sharing. I did not make it to that spot when I was out there in 2017 maybe I can make it there next winter. Be safe and stay healthy mark.

    I used to be a falconer, and had a red-tailed hawk. Red-tails vary quite a bit in coloration. The Sonoran Desert species are often paler than most. The black bands at the leading edges of the wings (underneath - visible when the bird takes flight in your video) are positive identifiers.

    Glad you're having fun in Arizona, Mark. You're in the right place at the right time, IMO. Southern Arizona is the place to be in January and February. If you wander too far in any direction (except maybe Nevada) and stay in the states, you're liable to run into cold or nasty weather. Usually the worst you'll run into in Arizona is some annoying wind and dust. Of course the dust storms can be dangerous if you're driving.

      I tent camp too, get a Trangia spirit burner or a Coleman white or unleaded gas stove, many things don’t need refrigeration, Knorr has some pretty good dehydrated dishes that are inexpensive (not the ones meant for backpacking) some spices in small receptacles and there you go. You can also add dehydrated items like mixed vegetables, hash browns, mash potatoes, real cheddar cheese, butter, cream. They’re delicious, look for the natural ones like Anthony’s in Amazon.😉. Makes your meals a lot better and fun.

      @@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield you can get lots of these things at Walmart, Anthony’s products are going to cost a bit more but still not expensive considering how long they last. The cheese won’t melt but you can put in on top of the potatoes even burgers you’ll get the taste but not the melt, the butter you can add a bit of water to spread or just sprinkle on top is delicious, Mac and cheese using these with Nido powder milk is really good. Another thing, if you’re going to bring some meat, marinate and freeze beforehand, that’ll save you buying more ice and the marinade will be better. If bringing fresh eggs, brake them and mix, grab an empty bottle and pour them in, it’ll save space in the cooler. For spices get the little plastic containers for party favors that look like chemistry 🧪 tubes, fill them up, use a permanent marker and stick inside a ziplock bag, no refrigeration needed, don’t forget powder chicken broth for rice, etc, get the powder one, use the broth, add those small packets of salmon, tuna or chicken (Walmart) you got a good dinner. Nothing better than a good tasty hot meal after you set camp or a nice hike. 😉

      A: No. In 2019 the OHV decal program was amended to require out-of-state residents to purchase a nonresident OHV decal to ride within the state. Decals are not transferable between OHVs and each machine must have its own sticker." I wouldn't need to have one on my motorcycle since it's not primarily a dirt bike, it's a dual sport.
