Thanks Russ for doing such a great job! You do read the comments...lol. Just last week I asked about getting out to Scaddan Wash and you came through..🐈
I am so glad that I found your channel, great information on free camping. I will be new to this next year and will need all the help I can get. I love the drone shots they are awesome, gives a little more perspective of all the land surroundings. I will be coming from Georgia on the East coast, will be glad to get out of this cold weather here, I have never been to the West coast and am excited about my soon to be journey. I got my ProMaster in August and have started building it out. Gonna take some time to get rid of all things I have acquired over the years.. I am retired and it's time for me to hit the road, get outta here and see other parts of the US. Take care, safe travels, and can't wait to see what is next.
I could not agree with you more on that road! I assume that used to be part of the old highway from Phoenix to California before the interstate. Quartzsite ought to make it a nostalgic roadway like parts of old Route 66.
Thanks for the video and the directions from the Interstate. Very helpful information. Stay safe and keep your videos coming! In 2022, RTR was in town and not out in the desert... lol.
Just found your channel. Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I’m not a traveler as I’d love to be but enjoy the “watching”. BTW, I’m watching from South Carolina.
What a great series, Russ. I live in cold and windy Tennessee and can only dream of being in the desert sw in January...but I still love to see these videos of areas all around the Q. No matter where the RTR is being held I still love seeing all these areas I long to visit. Thank you so much for your time and effort....:-)
Thanks Russ...w/o your videos I would not feel like I have ever been to Quartzite, which I haven't...yet. Your drone works very well...I hope its a DJ phantom 3 standard because that is what I ordered the other day. Your video is so crisp that I believe you may have gone for a higher resolution than did I.
Hey Russ. Love your videos. We're in Lordsburg, NM at a KOA tonight. Heading to Shady Lane in Quartzsite, tomorrow and Friday. Headed to Indio, CA on Saturday. Thanks for recommending Shady Lane to my wife, Linda. Sounds like we'll be close to everything!
@@rvertv good to know. We didn't make it to the park on Thursday, but are camping here tonight (Friday night). We mentioned to them that you recommended the park and they were EXTREMELY pleased. We've found it to be a great park at a very reasonable price (50 amp at $25 is outstanding). Heading to Indian Wells, in Indio, CA for a month tomorrow. Another place you recommended in an earlier video. We are making a day trip back to Quartzsite for the RTR for a couple days in January. Staying in Desert Hot Springs, CA, Jan through Mar. Love your videos. Keep it up.
Good morning Sunshine! Wow! I thought we showed people some Off the beaten Path stuff.. You got me beat! Hahaha!! That is out there. It's amazing how its so different then here but Equally beautiful. love the mountains you go by all the time. We don't have anything like that here. lol!
Thats where it was last year, the camp host at the front entrance advised the blm worked out a new location closer to town back in behind the host location. We're camped here a few more days, stop by and say hi if you come in !
I'm really enjoying your videos. Next year I should make it to Quartzite . I'm trying to decide the best place to camp. I would like to be able to get to town on my bicycle, but I also want to be away from the the husle and busle. Where would you recomend? Scadden Wash has my vote so far..
Everyone is right that this is the location where it has been for the past several years but it going to moved for the winter of 2019. 😉👍 I believe it is going to be in the area closer to the host but definitely check in with Bob for the exact location. 😄 Love the drone footage 👍😉💓😄🚐
This is a great video Russ and I love that area, as there’s a lot of good hiking in the hills up that road! I do believe that the RTR has been moved this year. Exact location has not been announced. Thanks again for all your wonderful videos of the Quartzsite area! 🌵✌🏼
@@hikewithme59 wow... well i am filming all the camp areas i will prob get one right haha thank you so much for the info... i will do a update video when they decide
good drone footage Man can you wrap your head around this , They all have to move every 14 days, yes not all at once just that alone would/well keep the roads over flowing. Wow, The camp host has his work cut out for him/herself.And if every six camper makes a fire that would be something to see from a plane.till next time ByeBye
Hello Russ. I think you nailed it as far as the info needed to get to the RTR. Very good drone shots. Looks like I'll have to keep an eye out for the wash areas, with my luck I'll park in one when it rains. I'm still in SC and the temp got into the mid 30s. can't work on the RV much in the cold I'm 68 and the cold sucks. Have fun, be safe ,keep up the great videos and bye for now.
Check in ? Register ? What's the Cost there❓ Then when you move. How far you gotta move away. Then can you go into a long term one or area ❓😀🙏👍 That area looks so nice & interesting 👀 Awesome area. Informative video 👍😀✌️
Scandan Wash is a free area with a 14 day stay limit. You have to be 25 or more miles away for your next free BLM location and then you can return after 28 days. You can go to an LTVA (Long Term Visitor Area) paid area anytime. The hosts are generally available to register and issue a window permit during normal daylight hours. If not, set up and come back later. Just pick a spot anywhere as there are no designated camp "sites". Pick a spot that has already been traveled and not tear up the limited vegetation that is there. The closer you are to town, the closer other folks will be next to you. You will need to get away from the west end near the road if you want more private space. It is a beautiful area and it is very popular during the show, especially the west end, because it is the closest free area to the show.
I received this from the Bob Wells people on the RTR :... Good morning Jerry, The RTR is currently working with the Yuma BLM office to secure the exact location for the RTR. Because it has not been finalized, we are still not releasing the coordinates. Keep watching, it will be posted as soon as it is signed off. Thanks for writing us, Safe travels, Phyllis Suanne's Assistant
Jerry Wisz That is great information Jerry, I watched Bobs posting about it while ago saying he had a new location but would not release it until it is finalized, hopefully Russ will amend his posting so not to confuse people.
I have been curious, do you see what the drone sees, or do you just have to keep track with your eyes on where your drone is? I have seen people fly these over trees where I would think you would lose sight of them. Either way, that is some high tech stuff to me!
Bob Wells announced in a video after the 2018 RTR that there will be a new location for January, 2019 that the BLM recommended but he was not telling where because all was not settled. He then announced about a month ago that the BLM had a change in plans and were looking at a different location. Bob has not announced that location yet either but it should be soon. As it stands right now, it will not be at the 2018 and prior end of Scandan Wash location. Only the Shadow Knows where it is going to be!
This video is showing the January, 2018 location of the RTR. Bob Wells said earlier this year in one of his videos that the January, 2019 RTR will be held at a different location. The new location has not been announced yet because all the details have not been finalized.
I’m sure you meant no harm, but this information is not correct and it would be a very good thing if you published a retraction. I DO NOT HAVE A FIRM ANSWER FROM THE BLM ON THE LOCATION. But, I’m nearly certain it will not be the old location. I AM THE ONLY ON WHO CAN TELL YOU WHERE IT WILL BE!
hi bob..i didnt mean to put out a incorrect location.. i wasn't aware of change..I am doing a whole series on 8 BLM properites....i changed the description and the thumbnail already and will post a video about the error...this video was suppose to be more about Scaddan wash...Free camping is the theme of the series. I have also answered comments about change of location. once you announce you new location i will make a video of the area thanks ..russ
Beautiful footage! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Russ, you provide such visual representation for those of us that are new, and kinda what to except with great landmarks!
Another great aerial view, this time of the the RTR location. Thanks Russ! J
Russell thanks for all the driving around and launching the drone there buddy. Now with my usual "Thanks Roscoe !!!!"
Thanks Russ for doing such a great job! You do read the comments...lol. Just last week I asked about getting out to Scaddan Wash and you came through..🐈
Good to know the location of the RTR, thanks !
Russ I sure enjoy your videos. Always taking us to a new & interesting place. Thank you for sharing.

Very nicely done, Russ!! Thanks so much for all the drone view's!

I went to the Camping with Bob Event there last year. Had a great time. 👍
Great help and imfo ~ drone footage is wonderful !! Thank you Sir !!!!!
I didn't realize the RTR location had been announced. Thank you for giving a heads up.
The video shows the prior years location. Bob has not announced the January,2019 location yet.
i guess they are moving location...i will make a video of that change when i find out
Thanks for the video and the directions from the Interstate. Very helpful information. Stay safe and keep your videos coming! In 2022, RTR was in town and not out in the desert... lol.
Love your videos! So full of info! Thanks Russ!
Good video Russ! Thank you
That’s the first time I’ve heard of the RTR 2019 location. Thanks for the “scoop”
Bob has yet to announce the new location for January, 2019. He should be saying soon.
There might be a new location will update when i find out....
Punch Buggy at 0:15 lol Nice Baja!
I just subscribed. I like your easy going style. I really enjoyed your Amish county vids in Ohio where I live.

G Henrickson No, I am pretty sure he has the DJI Mavic Pro II With the 1 inch sensor.

its a fun little park...they own a gold claim and allow you to prospect on it

@@KRCluney thanks enjoy those hot springs
Another informative video, thanks. Are there any relatively "quiet" areas in Quartzsite BLM area where OHV/ATVs don't usually ride or are prohibited?
Good morning Sunshine! Wow! I thought we showed people some Off the beaten Path stuff.. You got me beat! Hahaha!! That is out there. It's amazing how its so different then here but Equally beautiful. love the mountains you go by all the time. We don't have anything like that here. lol!
howdy east coast ones... you guys should come out here for a visit....
RVerTV I would absolutely love that! It’s so pretty out there. & you’re so Awesome!
Scaddan seems like a nice place to find some nuggets
looks really beautiful empty.
..great point..
Actually Russ, I believe Bob said they have outgrown Scadden and was moving the RTR this year.
yes, that was announced at the end of past jan. RTR. location changed.
so i heard will do a update video when they decide...I think its smart to move it... this old location was so crowded last year
Thats where it was last year, the camp host at the front entrance advised the blm worked out a new location closer to town back in behind the host location. We're camped here a few more days, stop by and say hi if you come in !
cool thanks
This year the RTR may be in a different location to be determined. Happy trails.

I think it’s near Bouse this year! Or maybe it has been changed since I last heard 🌵✌🏼
@@hikewithme59 wow... well i am filming all the camp areas i will prob get one right haha thank you so much for the info... i will do a update video when they decide

Very nice lay-of-the-land discussion. How high does your drone fly?
400 ft legally

nice info...i will video new location when they figure it out
Which Drone do you use to get those nice stable shots?
I have been curious, do you see what the drone sees, or do you just have to keep track with your eyes on where your drone is? I have seen people fly these over trees where I would think you would lose sight of them. Either way, that is some high tech stuff to me!
watch this video...i show the display i see ua-cam.com/video/BZfTJr1cq4o/v-deo.html
Can you fly your drone halfway to the cell tower ?
Ross you keep on saying that you're at the west and the town by believe you're at the East end of town
oops.... at least i got the town right... haha thanks
@@rvertv I'm sorry for not double-checking that before I sent it Russ
@@jeffreyrose5709 I get confused all the time the way some of these areas are laid out... all is good..have a great day
i'm trying to follow on my phone....lost...lol Thanks
Sorry but I'm confused. I thought it hadn't been said yet where the RTR will be.

Bruce H- I thought the the Shadow only know’s what lurks in the hearts of man?????
Hi ... I guess it has changed .... more info to come... will post update when i find out
Can you move from one 14 day area to another (land to land) or do you have to stay out of the BLM system for X days?
ZeebNinja You have to move to another BLM area at least 25 miles away from the one you'll just left
thanks @@patd4u2
Me and hubby wanna know what's an RTR?
Is there rattlesnakes?
Some of us are new to this world. What is RTR?
an annual event in Quartzsite RVers get together hosted by another youtuber
@@rvertv I figured that but surely RTR is an acronym for something right?
Is this the area that that RTR was last year? In one of Bob's videos he said they have a new location for the 2019 RTR
