Hi Russ, enjoying the trip from central Az. Those bushes with the yellow flowers sticking out are called brittle bush. The plants you referred to as Joshua trees are actually in the yucca family. The tall spindly plants are ocotillo, the orange flower plants are globe mallow and are quite common as a roadside plant. The 3-5 ft bushes with the greenish yellow leaves are creosote,one of the oldest plants on the planet. Love your videos.
I look forward to traveling with you everyday. I loved the beauty of the desert bloom in these last 2 videos. You are such a pleasant guy and I like hearing your signature music!
I’ve got to get rid of my golf cart and get a four wheeler. I miss my motorcycle days boon docking. That golf cart is just killing me. I’m not dead yet! Thanks Russ
G'day again from NSW Australia. This is my kind of country. I was self driving through Arizona/New Mexico way back in 1993. If I was with you I'd be constantly looking down at my feet checking the rocks and minerals while you'd be looking at the cacti.
Thanks Russ for showing me your piece of the USA. Alien but wonderful scenery for someone in the midwest that's never been to the southwest. Especially entertaining for "house bound folks". Nice camera work and choreography. Well done sir.
I have decided to watch your videos last at night so I am happy and peaceful when I go to sleep. It seems almost everything else does not let you be peaceful. Thank you for taking me along. I love the cactus they are beautiful. I have been watching your channel every time you post a new one and sometimes I go back and watch the ones before I found your channel. Happy Trails/Be Safe
Awe man what a majestic place. Yes, when I'm out trail riding I wonder how in the world did the first pioneers find there way across such rugged terrain in wooden wagons filled with everything they owned. Thanks for taking us gallivanting around the desert with you. You will go down in history along side of Christopher Columbus, Lewis&Clark and John Wesley Powell. I call shotgun on the next ride!
When I take my road trip, maybe our paths will cross. Thanks for the great videos, you are a big help. I'm retired now so I need to get out and explore, like you...
Oh my this video you have outdone yourself again . The cactus garden words cant describe the beauty. Keep em coming , Dusty Nugget has earned its keep for sure.
I just bought a drone. Same company and such. I love how the little airship shows a mood when she lands. Sometimes, confident. Sometimes, like Little Miss Muffet. Big fun.
Thank you so very much. You have a beautiful heart & an awesome soul. YOU ROCK! I learn so much from your videos. Scenery is just breathtaking. I cant wait to see Kings Ranch. Be safe & thanks again.
Seeing all of the desert vegetation there is fantastic! Since I will likely not ever visit that place in person, I really appreciate seeing it through the lens of your camera. That is a spectacular place!
Good Day Russ ,did you ever imagine what you would be able to see when you first got the dusty nugget. This is a great of road video .Much better than just driving down the road .You need to get a altimeter so you know how high up the mountain you are .Great video ,Take Care .👍👍😊
Great Video My dad use to own Land in Kingman Az. I remember in 1972 we moved from California to Arkansas we stopped at Kingman and took pictures of the land brings back memories Thanks
Locked down here in London I can't thank you enough for these fantastic films of a part of Arizona that I have had the pleasure of visiting twice, although not on these beautiful backroads.I can't wait to get out there again once this virus is all over.
Yellow flowers with blue sky in background, picture postcard perfect! Enjoyed this ride & seeing all the different cactus. I couldn't imagine Coming through with a conastoga wagon. Could you see hooking up a mule team to one of those wagons? Hope you have a nice evening, thank you Russ!
Howdy Russ, Great job on your videos. My wife and I planned on being full-time RVers by now but it looks like it'll be next year darn it! We live in Washington State, south of Seattle at the base of Mt. Rainier. Still getting a bit of snow here in our front yard. Yuck! For the past 6 years, we've traveled to Arizona (2 weeks vacation each year) scouting out places to go when we hit the road. Always enjoy the Kingman/Quartzite area when we pass through on our way to Apache Junction and other great places around the state. Thanks for taking us along as you scout out the area. We appreciate it. Maybe we'll see you on the road when we finally get to head that-a-way. Stay safe and be healthy!
Like all your videos, loved this one. Some of the most plentiful cacti there were cholla and teddy-bear cholla, I think. Loved the saguaros, too. Thanks for taking us along!
We ride up there all the time, you can go thru that gate as long as you close it back, it really starts to get interesting farther up from where you turned around, if you go up past the ranch house you will see a trail that goes to the right and it will take you to a abandoned community.....Really cool stuff!
Another excellent video. Just past where you turned around is the Walnut Creek Ranch (I believe that’s it’s current name). That’s whose cattle you saw. Continue past the ranch and you would go through the old Heritage survivalist camp. Not sure if anyone is still living in there. That road continues up to the ridge but who knows if it’s still passable and meets the ridge road. Turn right there and it turns into Boriana Mine Road. Again. Excellent video and thanks for sharing. Stay Healthy everyone.
What a wonderful site you have provided. Live in Kingman no back road vehicle so this so educational on the area and surrounding area. Thank You for your travels. Corey
Bit wave Russ,. Gee we enjoyed your video in the mountains...the flowers and cactus are so beautiful...We love the desert as the colorings always amaze us...Beautiful drone work Russ. Tjhank you so much. It accompanies our lives in isolation...Thank goodness. Be careful of snakes, we have rattlers out right now.....Take care Russ....Big Wave....We are watching...Carolyn and Colin Hogarth Canada.
Didn't scroll all the way through comments....but some of the cactus names.....'that thing' that's about to bloom-ocotilla, the fuzzy looking ones-cholla (we call them 'jumping cactus', cuz they seem to 'jump' on you....nasty things when you get stuck, also looked like some staghorn (could be wrong), prickly pear. I have lived in Phoenix for over 33 years. Consider myself a desert rat. New sub here. Love the vids so far. Can't get out much for exploring like I used to. thank you.
Hi Russ, we live just down the road about 10 miles from where you are located. We have taken the Cactus Garden ride and if you keep going it is really beautiful but it is an all day trip but well worth the time. Don't know if you have ventured up Boriana Mine Road where the gold fish ponds are or out Alamo Road almost to the dam and then go up through the Red Canyons. Absolutely Beautiful! We enjoy your videos even though we have been to a lot of the same areas. Never get enough of the desert and mountains.
Thanks for having me in your passenger seat! I love the open range and the plant life what a huge change then what I got here in Oregon's valley floor.
So what was the last gate ? Locked ?...Keep out ?...Passable. It looked kinda like trailers back in there. I was surprised to see Saguaro cactus that far north. Learn something everyday.
Thanks Russ Yet another fantastic video to take the strain off of the stay at home order in Florida. I would have been there, Arizona for the super bloom if not for this Coved 19. Maybe next year. I'll look for you. Tony
Absolutely love exploring with you. Love these wide open spaces. Hate being cooped up. This time it's the human who caused the problem & the animals, plants and critters are safe being out. Odd, isn't it?
I think that big wash is the Black Rock Wash, which splits a bunch of times, eventually flowing over a corner of my future 'ranch.' (lol) You need 4WD to get across some part of that wash on any of our roads, so a person can do some serious physical distancing out in Mary's Land! Maybe me next winter... It is so cool to see your videos of the unknown areas that surround my inherited desert dream. If you hadn't done this video, I wouldn't have known of this beautiful preserve.
Great video.....The Cholla...My #1 enemy .....I fell on a Cholla bush and will never forget it......Specially when I grabbed them off of me ...
Boy I tell you the AZ desert never ceases to amaze me 💯

The drone footage adds a nice dimension to the show. We rarely know what’s near us until we see an aerial shot.

Absolutely nothing compares to Home!!🏜🏜🏜👍

Wonderful video. Fresh air, open spaces, freedom from coronavirus👍. Thanks for the buggy ride.
When I take my road trip, maybe our paths will cross. Thanks for the great videos, you are a big help. I'm retired now so I need to get out and explore, like you...
Just way to cool.

I've read so many overland journals from late 1800's, love the era.
You are such a blessing to all of us. Such a pleasant demeanor with a dry sense of humor at times. :) Appreciate u!
thank you

The tall skinny multi-armed cactus with the red blooms at the tips that you commented on are Ocotillo cactus. ;-)
Thank you Russ for one more great back country trip! That was beautiful!

What a wonderful site you have provided. Live in Kingman no back road vehicle so this so educational on the area and surrounding area. Thank You for your travels. Corey
Russ, tu es très fort, tes vidéos sont superbes! Merci pour ces voyages
Loose translation ... "way to go Russ, thank you!" Literal translation ... "you are strong (brave), the videos are superb! Thanks for your travels."
Thanks again Russ.
I wish that I could feel the bumps along the way. Great scenery.
Thanks, Russ for the video. I didn't know the desert was so beautiful! One of these days I'll get out there.
Its pretty cool up in the mountains there where you are in the pine tree’s and can see all the way down to the desert
Bit wave Russ,. Gee we enjoyed your video in the mountains...the flowers and cactus are so beautiful...We love the desert as the colorings always amaze us...Beautiful drone work Russ.

Hey Russ love the video had a great time thank you.
Thank you very much! Beautiful scenery.
Love your videos, I miss the desert. As soon as this Corona Virus is over with, I'm taking a road trip...

I would have been there, Arizona for the super bloom if not for this Coved 19.
Maybe next year. I'll look for you.

Thanks!
That thing is called an Ocotillo
..and the 'mickey mouse ears' are called Prickly Pear cactus...
Thank you Russ for another fantastic video!! Take care sir!!👍
thank you
@@rvertv your welcome Russ!!
Russ I know you like being by yourself, but please be careful. I appreciate your videos.
Absolutely love exploring with you. Love these wide open spaces. Hate being cooped up. This time it's the human who caused the problem & the animals, plants and critters are safe being out. Odd, isn't it?
Russ, keep on the good job. Like videos of CA, NV and AZ. 👌
Kewl and cool 😎

Really enjoyed this, thank you. I would like to see more closeups of the plants. I subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing.
