As a long time Arizona native I have never seen Roosevelt Lake this full. Its awesome.
I was a child in Gila County back in the 1970s. The drought around 1976 was so bad that we could pick up fish from evaporated parts of the local river that drained into the Gila River. But around 1979 to 1980 there was a massive flood that almost broke the main US 60 bridge. It cracked and local bus routes ended. The drought period usually ends at some point. Thanks for showing Roosevelt Lake being full again. A direct ancestor had worked on the construction of that dam in the early 1900s. I am Apache from San Carlos now doing a PhD at ASU. There was also massive flooding that tore down a bridge in Tempe around 1993.
Thank you so much for your insights and stories! And congrats with your PhD - love a little Native awesomeness! âïž My mom was Inuit from Greenland, now I'm in Denmark - where I grew up. Mom's sister will visit this Thursday - looking so much forward! Happy Easter!
thank you so much for sharing! love hearing stories like this! a lot of people have mentioned that bridge being torn down......hoping to include a little bit about that in my next video.....Thank again!
Maybe San Carlos will fill for once too.
Awesome to know thanks, live right on the Gila River myself well Gila Bend that is lol đ
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 the bridge that was torn down in 1993 was actually the current Mill Ave. bridge that was under construction at that time. Channel 12 news was doing their live 5 pm news there (Kent Dana was the anchorman) showing the flowing river from the heavy rains that spring when behind him the partially built bridge gave way. Since it was still under construction it was insured, just slowed down the completion date a bit.
Im a native of the Valley and have seen so much change its sounds like Im telling war stories to newcomers of the Valley. On 59th Ave from Olive all the way to Beardsley ( which is the 101 now) was all citrus groves. You could drive there in the middle of summer at night and get chilly. On I -17 Bell Rd was the absolute end of Phoenix. Everything North of Bell was open desert. Its been cool seeing Phoenix grow to a major city but its had to pay the price for doing so. Alot of good memories are lost forever but I have met alot of cool midwesterners along the way.
I am a Midwesterner as well! thanks for sharing the stories.
My husband said the same thing you did about BellRd being the end of the city. He lived up in New River and people thought he was crazy living that far out. He loved it though. He passed 3 years ago. I came back to Indiana where Iâm from. I miss Arizona. He also said he would have to take coolers to the grocery to keep the food cold until he got back to New River from going into Phoenix for groceries.
Thanks Jessie. We'll take the grandkids down to see the river this week.
I read a story about POW's housed somewhere in Tempe during WWII. With a map they planned to escape down the Salt River. Their tears were the only water found when they reached the bank of the Mighty Salt.
Awesome have fun!.....never heard that story about the POW'S housed in Tempe and escaping through the Salt river. Time to brush up on my history, thanks for sharing though! Always interested in learning more!
Rattlesnakes and fun! Shared to FB.
Haha it scared the crap out of, but hey it was quite the adventure
This channel is a gem, I love Arizona! When I died I want to walk off into the desert and never be found again! Or my ashes spread what ever lol
top tip: if you see a shady rock in the desert with a little shelf to sit on under it, don't sit down.
if it's in the shade, and it's a ledge, you can bet it stinks of rodent pee.
I remember the 93 rain storms. It was January and I think it rained almost every day for 21 days. I recall driving to work and having to put my head out the window because my winshield wipers quit working. I live int he White Mountains now and last summer most of our lakes were very low. They are all filled to the brim now.
I live in the WM area as well. The only lake that Im wondering if it will be full and spilling is Big Lake. It hasn't been full since 2010 I think. I guess I will find out in May if the road is open by then.
@imthenoid69 I am interested in Big Lake too. Rainbow was flowing out so fast by the dam it looked like a river.
@@jeffcessna Yes I saw that as well. Water was flowing under the decks of those new houses so I bet they were panicking
Wow! I was stationed in AZ on and off for over a decade and never saw anything like this. Though I was there in 1983 when Tucson experienced a 100 year flood that might have been re-assessed as a 150 year flood. The Pantano Wash was overflowing its banks and a friend I had on the far side of the wash a couple miles from it had water nearly up to their windows. Water was reported to have caused the bridge going over the river to be closed it was so high. So it is possible all the lakes were flooding at that time also. It was a crazy welcome to Tucson and the desert as I had only arrived a few months early to Davis Monthan AFB.
Lived in AZ from '89 to '94 at ASU and then from '03 to '09 for a job. Yes, I walked on those "steps" at Roosevelt. I remember the Roosevelt Lake Bridge was completed in '92 and I remember driving over the dam. Had a '81 Jeep CJ5 and remember when most of the road from Tortilla flat to Roosevelt was dirt. Its nice to see that water. Hopefully the snowpack in CA also helps alleviate the usage from Lake Mead too. Loved living there.... should have stayed after the company I was working for went under...
Thanks for sharing your story! wish I could have been born a little earlier, would have loved to experience driving over the old dam
Weâve gotten super lucky this year with this abundance of water, hopefully with good management we can keep the taps running for a good while yet
God heard the prayers of the faithful and saw their fasts and blessed us all with the water that we badly needed and need.
I'm heading up to camp at the lake this Thursday for the weekend in the Cholla ground. I camp in the tent loop.
Years ago there was so much water flowing down the Salt River only the Central Avenue and Mill Avenue bridges were open. Even the Interstate sank.
was that in the early late 80s early 90s? i just recently watched a video showing the tempe beach area completely flooded
I worked down at the guard base at Sky Harbor and in the early 90s, the salt was bank to bank and almost to the top. The roar and rumble I will never forget.
In the process of trying to compile footage from those days for a later video. Hard to believe something like that ever happened
I lived in Phoenix for 12 years in the 90âs. It happened more than you think. The severity wasnât as bad because development wasnât as built up. Thatâs what has changed.
Yup. I remember back in the late 70s all the bridges except 51st ave were washed away. we had a feed lot at 51st and Baseline. then later on at 43rd and Lower Buckey. There were two old WWII explosive storage buildings between 51st and 43rd near the river. One of them got washed away and exploded. Shook the ground all the way at our house. Scared the crap out of me as a little kid. we lost almost 100 head of cattle down the river. they found some of our cattle washed up in Tollasen.
Lots of fun to view,, thanks!
Hey no prob! Glad you enjoyed! đ
Just found your channel and I like it so I subscribed. I like your stories. God bless.
hey thanks! i appreciate that! ill try not to let you down....God Bless!
As a Californian itâs exciteing to see all the Lakes and Reservoirs Fill up
Let it rain like this for many years đŻ
Please support our conservative agenda. So my people are leaving California due to who they voted before. It is a disaster. Is that why you left?
Happy days for the desert!! Lucky us
It's been crazy watching Tempe town lake fill. I work in those giant glass buildings. Good vid.
Oh neat!.....and thank you! Hoping it to make it out there again and get more shots of the river while she's flowing!
which giant glass buildings?
@@hughsalter7769 Marina Heights
The boat was located at the 101 and 202 near the Tempe Marketplace for a few months before the water release. It stayed put till they started releasing water at 33,000 CFS. The Painted Rock Dam further down the river holds more than the Salt and Verde systems combined. I was out there a few weeks ago, and it was starting to fill up, but still have a long ways to go to fill up...
Hoping to check out that dam in the next couple weeks....haven't heard of that one only until recently
Wow! Have lived here for about 15 years and now I can't joke about the rivers never having water!
Funny part is the Salt River was always a flowing river up until it was dammed off. If they never had, we'd basically be like San Antonio with the river flowing through the middle of it. But it was a good move as it allowed us to control our water in the aquifers and provide power to what would become a metropolis.
Good to see....about time....beautiful area north of Mesa / Phoneix...Superstition mountain / Apache junction....
great to see - AZ needs
Thank you for showing Gillespie Bridge and Dam in your video!!
Hey no problem! It's one of my favorite places in all of Arizona! đ
That might be the boat from the movie Jaws, when Richard Dreyfuss dove underneath and the severed head popped out of the hole in the hull. đ
đ
Awesome! God provides water fir His people in the desert! â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
Thank you đ
i look forward to your videos,,this is where its at people just going out there gathering info for the rest of us well done jesse ,well done
hey thank you! greatly appreciated....more to come in the future!
Wow I didnât expect to get to see Gillespie dam on this, really cool. You put some effort into this! Awesome video. Some historic flows we have this year, so cool!
I love Gillespie Dam! hoping to make it out there again this weekend and walk down to the water and talk a little bit more about the history...... thank you!
This must've been the spot that then-Gov. Symington was seeing by helicopter the large lake created by the 1993 floods. No wonder the dam burst.
Thank You very much for this video.
You are welcome!
Salt river tubing is going to be decent this year, also hoping glen canyon waters are much higher, kayaking glen canyon is my favorite trip in AZ
Thanks for sharing this.
Hey No Problem!.....will have a part 2 coming soon
Glad to see the gillespie dam and sort of upset it hasn't been repaired to hold more water to refill aquifer.
Need to follow this to the resevior downstream. Painted Rock. Yuma confluence might be interesting if it flows that far.
Nice video. "back in the day" in the 80's, me and friends used to hang a rope from the steel bridge to swing over the river. We jump from the rocks there as well. We spent a bit of time by the diversion dam and lake Roosevelt too. I also remember driving across Roosevelt dam before they built the bridge. Fun to see those places again.
Very neat! I just finished reading a book about Roosevelt dam and it showed old photos from when people could drive across it....that was really cool!.....funny thing about that bridge.....i was there about a year and a half ago and i saw a rope hanging from that bridge....bet it was the party spot back in the day, who knows maybe it still is to this day. thanks for sharing!
Ive been going there since a kid. Im sure horse pasture won't be used for awhile. great vid thank
So much better than local news, great reporting and historical comparisons. I remember as a young firefighter working at a station near 7 av and the river '79 or '80? watching the flood waters roaring by, it looked like the Salt was a half mile wide there. Firefighters helicoptered to the stations south of the river.
hey thanks!!! i try lol
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 It is amusing how the news just can't seem to grasp this story or actually report on it in any sensible way.
@@trompelemonde4728 the News always does one of two things....they either make things sound worse than they really are..........or they make things sound not as bad as they truly are......smh
Well done , young man.
Thank you!!! đ Glad you enjoyed!
Great video man. I am born and raised in 21st Century AZ, sot eh drought has always been there. So this winter and all the water has been crazy to me! Really appreciate you taking the time to compile this footage and compare it to dry old 2021. Super Interesting!
thank you!.......got more coming!
Thanks for the video man. Flew into sky harbor and had never seen the salt river flowing like that before.
Hey anytime! hoping to make more! glad you enjoyed!
just the fact that we went drom boat ramps miles away from the water line, to the roads leading into the park being flood, well done world
right! hoping to get out to lake mead again and see where things are at
Love the desert. Greetings from Germany
Thank you! Greetings from Arizona!
Live in Tempe and every time I drive over the 143 the river is actually flowing fast wildest thing been here 3 years and this is the first time it's done that
Great video Jessie to say the least. Keep ur passion going. This video is not over edited, no stupid music and you narration is not trying to get 10 million words into a ten min video.Great work and keep it going.
sincerely
John
Thank so so much for those kind words! I appreciate that and i will for sure keep the passion going! thank you for taking the time to check out the video đ
It's funny I found this video...I was literally thinking today how the water is still running out from Tempe town lake....Thanks for the video....
hey no problem! thanks for watching!
Great video Arizona is a beautiful state. Glad to see you guys are re irrigated.
Fantastic overview ! Thx
đ
classic snake rattle jump scare. good reflexes
buddy! I was going for a jog a couple days ago.....about mid day, I was jogging through this neighborhood and some guy doing lawncare fired up a weed wacker...............sounded similar to a rattle snake as he was firing it up.....I did the same thing! haha...........Relfexes are top Notch! đ
Cool footage! Great commentary.
Thank you!
I'd love to see it again in a month with all the green and growth this should bring along! Loved this video! Thanks, mate! And how lovely to see the drought out there lifting - guess 2023 will bring good things! đ Lots of love from Denmark
Hey thank you!!! ill try to keep everyone update......I was thinking that same thing too. Will be a green summer! ill try to do some more before and after photo updates! thanks again for tuning in!
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Thank you! If you do get the time to do that - I will absolutely look forward to seeing it! đ
And if not.. well, I know that we're said to work very few hours a month here in Denmark by American standards - but we do understand what it means to be in a pinch when it comes to the clock đ so... extremely wonderful if you find the time - and hopefully it did you good to spend your time differently if you don't.
Regardless - I am so happy to see that this terrible drought has lifted! Hopefully it will bring about an abundance of happy times and things! đ
Great video. It was fun to see. đđŒ
Thank you! glad you enjoyed!
I remember 200,000 cbft per second once & before that only the Mill Ave bridge stood.
incredible. thanks for taking the time to film this! good work!
Thank you!! Hoping to get out there again in the next few days and make another! Thanks again! đ
Good video and information. Thank you for your great work.
hey thanks!.....glad you enjoyed!
The 1965 floods between Christmas and New Years were a significant event also. I was up at Government Hill over the Christmas break. On the 26th it began to rain and it was pretty much steady to the 29th and that one storm put the lake to te highest level seen at that time and the waterline was the high water mark seen until the dam was raised. My grandfather had to release a huge amount of water from the spillways. That got down to the metro, where it washed out the Country Club Road bridge (SR-87) and when I saw the temporary repair it was two lanes over culverts. The replacement failed in a later flood but the current bridge in 1984 was built to take anything. In 1965 there was just that and the I-10 bridge along with the mentioned Central Avenue and Tempe Bridge. Coming back from New Years we had to go into Phoenix via Tempe Bridge and the backup began maybe Dobson or Alma School so it took quite a while to get to the bridge. The original bridge from 1902 fqiled decades later and the current one over Tempe Town Lake is the replacement.
Thank you for sharing! its always a pleasure to hear stories like this one.
James, did your grandfather work for SRP? Were you staying at the SRP houses at Government Hill during that flooding in 1965?
@@mattsarizonaaerials Yes, I was there that week, and he worked at the dam from 1947 to 1973, when he went down to Saguaro Lake and worked at that plant until he retired, but that was not before I had sat OVER a rattlesnake, the dog found it. What happened was a phone call came in about 9pm 2nd night of this and he said he had to go down to open the spillways. We went down to where SR-88 had an overlook just west of the power plant. Someone took a picture of it and sold prints of the dam with the spillways wide open and water being released. We had one and referred to it as 'the dam picture'. Not sure how many of that were made. After school on the Monday after New Years 1966 we had to go to Mesa and our route of choice was McDowell to Beeline/Country Club and we found the destroyed bridge (totally gone) and the culverts with blacktop on top. The stopgap replacement was also destroyed by a later flood and the current bridge north of the 202 was built by 1984.
@@jamesanderson9287 Wow, that's a very interesting story. The reason I ask is because I currently work for SRP. I just stayed in one of the houses at Government Hill about a month ago. here's a video I made of the area about five months ago. czcams.com/video/UxBASK_xsyQ/video.html
Maybe I'm the only one, but I wonder how good the fishing is in these spots. ;)
Really nice production. Thanks.
Hey thanks for tuning in đ
Watching from Australia â€â€
hey thank you!!!
Great video! đ
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed! Hopefully I will have a part 2 coming soon!
Great vid, Very informative
Thank you!
Great footage, mate! Always a pleasure to see local geology.
Hey thank you!.....appreciate it! glad you enjoyed the video! Made a part 2 to this video, hoping to have it up in the next few days đ
Thats cool. I was out there two years ago having never been there before. And I thought it looked REAL low. Glad the wet season restored the lake...for awhile. AZ has a lot of beautiful country either way. And Jumping away from a Rattlesnake...nothing wrong with that lol
haha, everytime i think about that rattlesnake I get goosebumps!
Well done! And thanks for documenting! Capturing change over time is difficult sometimes! We have been on Saguaro Lake the past few weeks and level is awesome! Cheers, keep them coming! ~ Mark
Thank you so much!!! as yes! capturing change over time is difficult and requires an ungodly amount of patience, but the end product is always worth it......Havent been out to canyon lake in a minute.....I'll have to go out there next!.....Thanks again....Cheer!
I moved to Phoenix in 1986. At that time there was no water flowing down the Salt River. Mill Ave had two directions. One would cross the Mill Ave bridge going from Phoenix to Tempe. The other direction from Tempe to Phoenix would c1ross through the river bottom. I would think in Montana we have bridges that go both ways. A few years later, they started to build a new bridge. While during construction in 1992-93 they had a 500 year flood that washed out the temporary bridge and they had to start over. When you are as dry as Phoenix is, a good rain storm can be a 500 year flood.
Given how many 100 year and 500 year floods I've seen in my 55 years, I'm a bit skeptical about the scientific basis for calling them that.
I remember seeing the bridge go down live on TV. Ron Talley from Channel 12 was the reporter on the scene at the time. Talk about a scoop. I also remember when our family went to ASU football games we would often take the riverbed road to go back to our home in NE Phx.
All water containment and diversion infrastructure working exactly as designed.
Nice tour I live in Phoenix been to the dam at Horseshoe dam while it was releasing that was cool walking under the spillway. You should check out the Painted rock dam that is downstream only fills when Gila and salt rivers flow.
I think I will!....thanks for the recommendation!
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Saw another guys video he went to Painted rock they won't let you close to the lake or dam. He said because of DDT run off from farming. The Horseshoe spillway is good one not sure if they are releasing still it was 15000 CPS but I think it's back down to below 4000 now. The road to Horseshoe is rough need at least something with clearance. I was able to make it in a 4WD pickup didn't use 4WD just 2wd.
I'd love to see a video like this for Saguaro Lake
Working on it đ
I have seen all the AZ lakes full and we had 2 100 year floods in 81 82 I think that took out all but 2 bridges. I want so see a 1000 year flood.
I would've been in the next county in a split second when I saw that snake. đ±
Lol, I still get goosebumps when I think back to that day đł
Awesome video! You are very thorough and have really good footage! I heard that rattlesnake and jumped with you lol you can never mistaken that rattle for anything else!
Lol, I agree.....funny thing is .....a couple days after I was out there, I went for a walk in Chandler and I walked past someone's house and the lawn sprinkler went off and it made the " tss tss tss" sound as it was shooting water,.......I jumped then too!
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 đ€đ
Best guess on the boat... It likely floated away from Tempe Town Lake when the lake's dam broke in 2010 and sent a torrent down the Salt River channel. Looks like it's been there about that long.
That boat's too big for TTL, and even then it would have been removed when the 202 was built. That part is less than 5 yrs old. More likely someone dumped it, there's a road that goes right to there, he probably took it down himself. During construction of the freeway a road was built across the river bottom there, and there was even a construction trailer near the bridge.
Maybe 1984 or so all the bridges over the Salt River in the Phoenix area were closed or mostly washed away except the Mill Avenue bridge. Even the interstate 10 bridge was partially shut down due to subsidence of the east bound side. Traffic was diverted so that the west bound side handled both east and west traffic. The entire grater Phoenix area was a mess with the almost impossible commute to work situation. Multiple 100 year floods and 50 year floods in one season.
Good video I must say
thank you đ
Great content âŠ..
I just subscribed !
Thank you!
Crazy part on the Loop202 part the little island of bushes is actually a 25ft tall hill and it is completely under water. I remember after the mill ave damn failed there was water there but every year it would slowly would evaporate until there was only puddles left and then today we are dumping water like crazy to avoid future flooding.
This year is reminding me a lot of the late Seventies and early Eighties when floods were common on Rio Salado. We saw every reservoir in Nevada & Arizona go over capacity during a five year stretch; it was awesome to behold.
thank you for sharing!
Ivan remember one year that every bridge into ph. Was closed but one . On most of them the water had spread so wide under the bridge that it had wiped out the road at both ends of the bridges. The airport was flooding so we had to drive to the airport from our home in Gilbert to pick up his plane so e could park it elsewhere. It took hours to get there and hours for me to get home since all traffic since only one bridge.
I moved here to Yuma county in 1994. I'm born and raised 22 years in Staten Island, boro of New York City. Attended public school before they went all nutty.
I first went through AZ on a cross country trip on a Greyhound bus in 1990 to see my brother and meet his wife and family.

đ Anyways...
The colours beauty the peace and quiet at times is the reason why people can live in such a rough environment.
I particularly am willing to slow boil or fry on purpose to see the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets ever seen by man for the rest of my life.
Here in Arizona call that adaptation.
I agree with you. I'll roast in the sun for fiery sunsets and majestic beauty arizona has to offer
Awesome. The mountains in Colorado have record levels of snow. Possible flooding this spring
will be interesting to see how things change as it all melts! hopefully I can make it out to the Colorado river later this season
Looks like that Bayliner floated in from New Jersey.
That Bayliner was a long way from home....it was last registered in New Jersey (hence the NJ in the registration numbers) it was possibly stolen and abandoned some place close by up stream.
Thanks for the update. Roosevelt is my normal go to lake. I live in Sedona. I was thinking about going fishing in a couple weeks but I guess I'll hold off for now.
Good ideas! I live here in Miami and heard the fishing has not been so good

Ooooh yeah, nice finds Brent! Does this mark a whole new chapter for your project?
absolutely!
I know you usually do drone stuff, but if you want to jump in a plane a video/ talk through the whole salt system let me know. I just flew it to see all this this past weekend myself. Iâm based at Chandler airport.
Buddy!! I will Keep that in mind!! that would be awesome!! Im still learning a lot about the reservoirs, dams, and how its all tied together......But that would make for some great B roll...............Will keep in touch for sure!
Thanks for the video. It was good to see the Salt running so well and the lake so full.
I lived up on the mogollon rim several years, and fished, hiked, and explored the area a good bit. I moved away a few years ago. When I was there the area was struggling with a protracted drought, and many streams were dry or very thin. It was good to see the Salt river running so well, but is there any chance you might do similar videos of other streams in the area like Tonto creek? Maybe show flows on the salt in the canyon? Or some footage of Cherry creek? (Running through Young, AZ and into the salt.) It would be great to know that the streams coming off the rim are healthy and well watered.
I will definitely be doing more videos on this in the near future, and yes! ill try to venture out to different areas of the state, always wanted to go back up to payson and see how things are doing up there....but I will try to showcase more of the creeks, streams and river in the future đ
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 thanks! I miss AZ and look forward to your videos.
Report on Painted Rock Reservoir
Sad part is all that water when we do get it goes to waste because it flows right out to the ocean through the river bottoms if they would just build dams in the river bottoms like the lake they created for Tempe town lake when we get this excess of water and during our monsoon season, we always get water flow. We could fill those lakes up And have water for the valley instead of having to take it from Lake Mead. It would solve our drought and water shortages I believe. Back in the 70s when I was in high school Iâm now 63 there was a group of college students who proposed a thing called the Rio Salotto project which wouldâve built small lakes along all the river bottom surrounding the valley to fill up during monsoon season to provide water for the valley. Iâm not sure why they never done that.
just finished wrapping up Pt.2 for this video. will be up soon, ill talk a bit more about what happens to the excess water
Nice Pictures !!! But... I would prefer it if you had longer panning shots vs. 2 second shots.
Passando pra prestigiar aquele super Like Tmj âïž
Tube the salt river is fun.
The collapse happened in January-February of 1993.
I was living in Tucson at the time, and it rained all but three days in January.
This is a good thing water levels have been so bad lately down stream from this
That abandoned boat has California registration numbers.
hello brother how u doing i just moved to az surprise
Doing fantastic!....welcome to AZ!
Do one on Queen Valley
Ill try đ
They need to find a way to hold that water to save instead of just flowing away!!
Thou it refills the ground water, a lot of commercial farms are sucking the ground water out so much that there isn't enough for the residential areas that need it!!
agreed! they need more backup plans
I Hope Lake Mead & Lake Powell Fills Up.
đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
same here!
You younger generation crack me up. That river flowed WIDE in the past, where do you think all the river rock came from? The Flow FLUCTUATES. There have been times that the salt river wiped out the bridges and overpasses. Weather is Cyclical, NOT STAGNANT. The desert has been there for BHILLION years. The reservoirs took like 15/20 years to fill when built.
But they filled. Now they are emptying
