Kofa is the King of Arizona Wildlife Refuge. It is south of Quartzsite, Arizona, and north of Yuma, Arizona.
Kofa was a project of the Boy Scouts, in the 1930s, who raised money to preserve the few Desert Bighorn Sheep remaining there.
We haven't explored much of it yet, having spent our first six days in the same spot. There is a limit of 14 days in any calendar year, so we will use up all of our allotted time easily, and return next year.
Our campsite:
During our stay at this first campsite in Kofa we had our 100th hike of 2016. Some spectacular desert views. We found old roads and walked them. These roads have not been used for decades, which we could tell because of the size of the Cholla cacti and other plants that were growing in the middle of them. They were probably closed when the refuge was started in the late 1930s.
