Did you know that Robert mcculloch owned all of lake Havasu and was his test lake for his outboards until he decided to develop the real estate and make that his focus. Mcculloch was wealthy beyond imagination. I wish someone would do a piece on him.
I knew he was McCulloch of McCulloch chain saws and superchargers, but not about outboards, makes sense. I had heard that when he bought the London bridge, he thought he was buying the infamous Tower bridge.

@thedwarfgimli5323 thanks that was cool. I have tons of questions for his grandson about the outboards.
Thank you for sharing!
My favorite things in and around Parker and Lake Havasu in no particular order:
I just noticed how out of control this list got quickly... oh well. Fun area.
The Desert Bar outside of Parker.
The Drag Boat races at Blue Water Casino on the river.
Bill Williams River
Body Beach and all the racers.
The back way to Alamo Lake
Swansea Ghost town
Foxes and Roadrunner bars on the River.
Lapaz state park
Rusty's breakfast in Havasu.
The bridge and the island itself. Love the walking trails, under the bridge, and all the little shops. There are condos to rent too.
All the rental properties in LHC that make long stays affordable and fun.
All the lighthouses.
The offroad trails east of LHC. Can you find the "Race Track?"
The shooting range in LHC.
The sand bar, and copper canyon depending on where the fun is.
Taking boats or PWC up river.
Black Meadow Landing on the Commie side.
The dirrerent boating events over the year, including some massive power boats as well as World Finals Jetski event.
Many more things too.
Thank you for sharing!!!!
You forgot the Annual Lake Havasu Fireworks festival called Winterblast.

Very cool Video! It takes a lot of time to make these (videos) and you do a great job with editing and keeping it flowing. Thanks!
thank you so so much!! and yes, they do take a lot of time, but I enjoy doing it and I appreciate you watching!....thank you!
@jessiesdroneadventures7464. Thank you, I enjoyed the view! A friend owns one of those mansions on the river there. The water is so incredible. Lots of good fishing there. I'd love to see you do a drone on four peaks. I climbed that about 5 years ago to the very top. Thanks again.
I went to Havasu and the bridge probably 18 years ago for spring break. It was a blast i was young and had just bought my new boat and a new dodge cummins truck. Me and some other coal miner's i worked with drove down there and party's every day for a week. It was a awesome time.
Lake Havazoo. Party central at spring break.
i have lived in lake havasu since 1977...was much better back then, we are now being taken over by people leaving california because of what it has become...sad, hope they dont do the same here
california I tell ya
I remember my sister in her high school band marching across the bridge in 76’
I've been a fan for a while now. Yes- California is a water hog. I live up by the Shasta Dam. They even get the lion's share of our water. Many people say it's the almond trees. IDK.
Anyway, I enjoy your work and I have learned a lot! Working on getting used to your sense of humor. I'm an old lady. 71 last week.
I hope to visit some of the places in your videos someday. Keep up the good work! And thanks :o)
lol thank you! I appreciate you being open minded to my sense of humor, its all in the name of comedy and hopefully make a few people laugh in this crazy world....I hope you get to visit some of these place in the future! thanks for watching, jessie!
Near CA border! Run Away!
🙏🤓
hey, you fixed the check engine light!
cool video, gotta watch out for power lines they can sneak up on you.
I did! it turned off after I got an oil change!! and yes! always watch out for power lines!
I live in Utah near the Colorado River, and I just love how turquoise the color of the river gets as you go down into Arizona and even southern Utah. Never heard of Parker, but I’m definitely visitingthis spring.
Was just at the east side of lake mead, where the virgin river dumps into it. So beautiful I just love the Mojave desert.
And NV actually has a very good water program and managed much better than other states. Phoenix has been notorious for using “water wrong”.
Dang you can drive on it but not walk across it?
yea, unfortunatley!
right!!! the color is awesome, hope you enjoy your trip to parker!
I've been out to that part of lake mead before...about 4 or 5 years ago I also had the pleasure of visiting little jamaica.....before they dismantled it.....was an amazing place!
I enjoy your witty banter. Keep up the good work.
I’m from Oklahoma and for some reason I want to visit the London bridge, I don’t know why but I do.
Thank you Sir for this video.
Parker Dam....😊
Does anybody have any Dam questions?
When I started watching this video I was completely unaware that this would turn into an epic tale of one man and his faithful drone's resolve and perseverance against all odds in conquering adversity 💪😀 I'm amped you made it to the dam. Dayum! Looks very cool, I'm heading there in two weeks to explore. Thanks for the education and all the great trip ideas as always Jesse! I appreciate you brother🙏
PS I've camped in Lake Havasu and shockingly 😮 drove over London Bridge. It didn't fall down?!? Cried. My whole childhood is a lie now 😐
Hey no problem!! appreciate you checking out the video!!....lol, london bridge didnt fall down
Great video. 1. I remember Charlie and the Family murders and trials. 2. I do not remember Bonnie and Clyde. 3. An urban legend from Philadelphia was that Robert McCulloch actually thought he had bought the Tower Bridge in London and was quite angry that the Brits cheated him. Turns out the Urban Legend was not true. BUT, I believed that until I moved here in 2019.
Bonus 1. The lamps on the bridge are said to have been made from melted down cannons of Napoleon Bonaparte’s defeated army.
Bonus 2, the fountain you passed catches the summer sunsets just right and looks like liquid fire.
hey thanks for sharing! I read that about robert mcculloch as well! lots of interesting facts about this bridge and surrounding area! thanks for checking out the video!
Loving these vids- the more I see the more I watch. Doesn't hurt that I'm a fellow 'Zonie and the subject matter is always on point. Keep it up my man!
Hey thanks!!!! appreciate you checking out the content!!! love arizona!!!
very nice video my friend 👍👍
hey thank you! im glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve only been through here once, way back in 1994. For some reason this was the route my parents took to Laughlin and Las Vegas. After that trip we started using US 93
oh nice!!!
My parents stayed at River Lodge Resort on the California side of the river just before the dam for 14 years. I always found the drive along the California side from Parker to the dam to be way more scenic and enjoyable. Unfortunately River lodge was eventually taken over by new owners who replaced the camp sites with Park models. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot!
Growing up in az i have to say we went to the flumes at lake pleasent for our spring breaks. Boondockers! Best time of my life. Truly
Growing up in Arizona during the 70s and 80s was a great time to be young. I have lots of great memories of going to Lake Havasu during spring break and summer vacation with my friends. We would hang out on the boardwalk at the bridge and there would be so many boats in the channel that we could walk from one side to the other from boat to boat and back. Everyone was drinking, and dancing on the boats. Girls were dancing and really shaking and showing what they had. We would camp out on the beach and party all night. Big bon fires and lots of great food and music. It’s sad that you can’t do that anymore. Of course I’m too old now but I still go to Parker to camp and play with my boat on the River. I like watching the jet boat racing and I like to fish for bass on the lake.
Good info but Havasu is pretty well known. Now if you did some scouting around Bill Williams river up to Alamo lake and Big Sandy river that is beautiful land that would be really interesting!
Thanks for the info
You must have filmed this on a Thursday because what they do is they close down the damn so that the fields out south of Parker can use the water and be flooded and they do it every Thursday
Sure did!!!
Thank you very much for showing all those incredible places in AZ.
I cant wait to come back there. I hope next year in around August.
I have very dear friends in Apache Junction. I visited them last time in 2017 and i miss this place every day since.
Hey no problem! these are definitely places to put on your bucket list!!! Enjoy!!
I live in Havasu
No bad days 😎
Heck yea!!! Love visiting there! Never gets old!!
The Colorado by the time it reaches Parker, the flow changes little and changes according to the demands of irrigation and electrical demand.
I live in San Diego County, and I've long wondered where my water comes from.
Love San Diego!!!!! Going there in April! Hoping I'll be able to run into Rey Mysterio!
My family and friends and I used to drive our golf carts up the trailer park near the bridge and float down the river, someone would drive back and forth picking us up and dropping us off. Super close community in that trailer park you were near. Fun times.
Sounds like some awesome memories!!!
As you approach the dam turn right to the boat launch, at the top is a historical marker and picnic area. I fly there an d get good shots of the dam with no power lines and no “no drone” signs.
I appreciate that very much!!! Thank you!!! I'll have to make another trip out there!!! Thank you for checking out the video!!!
Love walking from the bridge to rotary community beach
yes! its a great walk~
And people wonder why there are strange things that seem out of place all over the world. Humans did it.
Aliens!!!!!!
You're saying Parker Dam is "deeper" than Hoover Dam because its foundation is so far below the natural level of the earth? Because Hoover Dam is over 700 feet high.
I love it there
Since you're in the area, you should do a video just south of Quartzsite along the Kofa Mountains and surrounding Plamosa Mountains. Dripping Springs, Skull Rock, and Palm Canyon, marvelous places that lack any great coverage yet on UA-cam. I'm a biased local, but it's wicked awesome as for cool Arizona desert scenery and history go.
Pity Drones Weren't a "Thing" in the Early 1980's, When the Spill Gates Were Opened. THAT was a Sight!
Cool thank you
Hey, your very welcome!
I like the disdain in your voice for CA.
You used to be able to walk across the dam. Used to also with out special permission ride the elevator down and see inside.
I guess you don't like California
😂😂😂
Nobody likes California's
If you were born and raised here, you'd understand perfectly. We actually love CA- in some ways- but we _leave it like we found it..._ We don't f' it all up.
Not every video is about it, he stopped at the boundary of the video topic. No problem, it's alright.
@@Tom67Xwell said!
Like eating at The Chair (Blue Chair) restaurant
Have you been to Burro creek yet? It's about halfway between Phoenix and Kingman. It's small but kind of a neat little area.
Guantanamo? You'd more likely be shipped to Leavenworth, or Colorado's Ultra-Max!
I grew up in Parker and as a kid I went to Bobby D's diner a lot. My Grandparent's church, Christ Church on the River was just down River Walk Dr and it was everyones post Xhurch food and social spot.
The owner was awesome, friends with everyone in town. Great food and atmosphere. I think it closed when he passed away and his kids cut and run with whatever they got outa him leaving the restaurant under ownership of the town. I coupd be wrong on the details of ownership as its been years now, but Great town to grow up in, good people too.
Hey thank you so much for sharing!!! hopefully they open it up again or so something with it at the bare minimum, its great spot and very eye catching! thank you for checking out the video!
That road closed you passed was where the infamous Idiot Rock is on the left hand side. It was closed due to Rockfall from the right side mountains. Local
Mid June is high water on the western slope in Colorado
My father in law had 2 places in the Blue Lagoon park 10 yrs of boating fun!
Great drone footage. Did you ever see the movie Piranha 3D? Most of it was filmed out at Lake Havasu.
Thank you!!! Havent seen all of that movie, just snippets....But now that I know it was filmed out there, will watch it tonight!!! thanks for checking out the video!
I know the guy that painted that wall! I used to eat their at bobby ds! 6:28
Just discovered your channel yesterday and enjoying your content. Wondering if you have any plans to shoot in HLG HDR on your mini pro and then produce HDR content for UA-cam? Its a shame seeing your beautiful shots in SDR, but otherwise im liking what i see so far. Already subbed. 🙂
hey thanks!!!! in the future....YES!!!! made some recent equipment upgrades so HDR will be coming in the future! thanks for checking out the video!!!
Nice, looking forward to it! I too have a mini 4 pro and am still very much a video editing amateur, but I'm gradually learning color grading and HDR mastering using Davinci Resolve Studio. It's pretty incredible what the HLG recordings from the mini is able to produce without much work in Resolve. 🤘
Water is way down, sometimes they would slow the flow like that on a busy 4th holiday, couldn’t put boat in water till about 2 PM
Water level changes day to day you can pull up the dam water release schedule for most of these dams on the colorado.
Look close at the sides of the bridge and you can still see the holes from the World War bullets.
With more than $59 billion in agricultural sales in 2022, California remains the top producer of agricultural products in the United States and the world's fifth largest producer. Oct 9, 2024
Thanks😂
ok, I'm in AZ haven't been to Californiastan in 10 years. No plans to ever go back. 😂
@@mikej238 I like all of the western states.
@@mikej238 Considering California is the most populous state with 40,000,000 residents and 300,000,000 tourists a year...everyone is fine with you not going to California.
@@mikegrindstaff who cares? Not me
Stop at the Cross roads for a good breakfast 😀
Now there are plans to build a 2nd bridge.
Ate many times at Bobby D’s I think they owned Cross Roads also
I was filming a ride away shot for a video there a while back, on the Arizona side. The security guard lady went full Karen "you can't leave that camera here! you can't leave that camera here!". Wrecked the whole shot. I had to explain to her I was leaving a $500 camera in her parking lot 😂.
Oh wow! That's insane, she really went Karen on you!
1934 was also when Hitler consolidated his power.
I'm so scared to fly my drone over water. Lol it's only a Mini but I don't want to lose it.
lol I know what you mean, I never use to when I first got a drone , but i've worked up to it!
I was in Lake Havasu on April 1, 2022 and it was 1 0 5 Degrees! Too hot!😂😊
yea it gets pretty scorching there!.....hotter than a spoon in demi lovatos house!
Just wondering, when you said something about homeless people and putting yourself in that situation, what situation exactly you talking about?
❤❤❤
So what is the deepest dam hiding?
Thats why you dont ask. The answer will almoste always be no for people who ask.
Parker isn't even on the top 10 list of tallest dams of the world.
He said deepest not tallest. There is a plaque on it saying it IS the deepest Dam in the world.
@asquithmainlines699 Oops my bad! I stand corrected.
❤
yea yea!!!!!!
And let's be honest there are a lot of idiots out there. 9.30
Jessie, What's so Depp about that dam? Doesn't remind me of Johnny or even a pirate. 😂
Literally just fixed that...my bad
Why does this video seem so A.I. ?
The title of the video it's about something hiding under the dam,,, and all you give us it was a tour of that place that has nothing to do with the title of the video
Thanks for watching 👍
@jessiesdroneadventures7464 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a joke!
Your comment helps for the algorithm
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 pretty well accomplished 😀
Havasu is way better go there don’t come to Parker. 😂
lol but I love parker!
You seem to hate california, but hey, it could be worse. Could be arizona.
😂😂
Don't California my Arizona lol
I dont "hate" it.....I just Strongly Dislike it for a variety of justifiable reasons based off of many previous visits
You got balls catching the drone. I just land it on the roof of my truck.
lol, i never use to do it like this, but it gets lots of attention
Hides fish farts and poop.
lol
The Parker Strip is nice, but the town of Parker is not.
