GET READY FOR NEW ADVENTURES! We've been testing a few rigs that will help us reach some of the more remote places we hope to document in 2025 🤠 We sure do rugged, no-nonsense testing! This one has been performing surprisingly well around the harsh desert terrain (minus a pair of tube repairs🌵) It's almost time for it's first mission at the lake...

HAPPY NEW YEARS from Lake Mead & Hoover Dam! 🎉 Hope 2025 is off to a great start for everyone 👍 According to the latest 24-month study, the USBR predicts Lake Mead will range between 1,055 ft - 1,070 ft this year. For reference, on January 1st the current level is 1,063 ft above sea level. Not much change on the horizon, but we'll see what the winter brings ❄️🏔️
Thank you to all our viewers for supporting the channel over the year! If you missed our New Years fireworks stream, have a little fun with us here before the videos go unlisted:

Some say the desert is dead and lifeless, but others can feel it calling after being away too long. We'll watch as the blinding neon lights of Vegas slowly dim, and we head out into the strange & wild desert. First it gets quiet and peaceful. The orange globe retreats behind layers of steel blue mountains, creating a gradient of colors that can only be painted in your imagination. The air cools slightly, and the night comes alive with unfathomable sounds and vibrations. Nothing but your own thoughts and a sky of stars for hundreds of miles. You can't help but wonder about those that travelled these same rugged paths long before you... and the secrets they left out there waiting to be found.

MONSOON SEASON BEGINS!⛈️ A much needed storm front washes over Las Vegas & much of the desert Southwest on Saturday July 13th, marking the START of monsoon season and the END of a HISTORIC *record high* temperature steak set in Las Vegas over the prior days and weeks. After an excessive heat warning began on July 3rd, Las Vegas broke its all-time hottest temperature on record on July 7th at 120ºF! (~49ºC) 🌡️🥵
The following week, Las Vegas set an extended high temperature streak of *7 days at or over 115ºF (~46ºC)* and simultaneously broke or tied daily the high temperature records for all 7 of those days.
Weather records in Las Vegas are taken at McCarran Airport and date back 76 years to 1937.
Desert dwellers, plants, and animals alike, rejoice that it is MONSOON SEASON in the desert!🏜️

ON THIS DAY 📆 July 7th, 1930: Work officially begins on the new "Boulder Canyon Dam" - later to be named #HooverDam. Built during the Depression years, thousands of workers and their families descended into Black Canyon to help build this monumental structure. It took less than five years in extremely harsh conditions to complete the largest dam of its time, standing at 726 ft (221 m) in elevation. Nearly a century later, the Hoover Dam is a world-renowned structure and that has been designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of America's "Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders."

BOMB-WATCHING 💣💥 Las Vegas | April 22nd, 1952 👀 Did you know "Bomb-Watching" is practically a past-time in Las Vegas & the surrounding desert? Some tests could even be seen live on TV. In the first photo, KTLA Los Angeles devised a 140-mile link to enable a live broadcast from the Nevada Test Site. The blast was carried by many major networks at the time. It is unknown how these "Bomb-Broadcasters" are doing today, or any of the folks who watched the explosions in viewing range.
In the second photo, you can see a crowd gather in the small town of Las Vegas to watch the same blast. Just another day in the atomic city!
And if you've made it this far... for an extra piece of interesting history, scroll to the THIRD and final photo to see a satellite view of the Nevada Test Site where many of these explosions took place. The Earth there looks like craters of the moon! 🤯

Happy Memorial Day from the Hoover Dam! 🇺🇸 Pictured here on May 1st, 1996 is the largest flag ever flown from Hoover Dam. To get an idea of the scale, each star on the flag measures 17 feet (5m) high!

THE BOTTOM OF HOOVER DAM! 🙈 "How deep is the water at the bottom of Hoover Dam?" We have many viewers ask this question! I just came across this cool infographic that is going to help answer it. We can see that the sediment level is estimated to be at 750ft above sea level. Using the CURRENT water level elevation of 1,068ft above sea level, that means there is approximately *318ft* of water at the bottom of Hoover Dam! Imagine how big some of the catfish are down there😵 Some of you have asked us to report this water depth instead of the water elevation. What do YOU think? Let us know in the comments!
PS: For those of you curious like us, the ORIGINAL Colorado River bed elevation is around 640 feet. That means the Hoover Dam has accumulated a bit over 100 feet of sediment! This is how dams can render themselves obsolete over time if there is no low level sediment flush.

⚡️POWERING THE WEST!⚡️ A rare look at the N3 generator rotor being reinstalled inside Hoover Dam last week. The assemblies weigh approx 200 tons and are on a 17 year maintenance cycle! The A9 rotor was also recently removed last year in 2023 for regularly scheduled maintenance. The last time it was serviced was in the 90's! Mechanics observe as the massive rotor is carefully lowered into place with only a few mil's tolerance🤯
