Jan. 28 – Kofa Monument
From the campsite we’re at now we can drive to new areas in the Kofa Wildlife Refuge. We loaded the Jeepster up with supplies necessary if we get stuck out there, food, water, warmer clothes, etc. and headed out to explore. We found our way to the Kofa Cabin (which we visited Dec. 15, 2013) then continued south on Wilbanks Road towards the Kofa Monument. Driving quite a way in a gravelly wash, probably the best way to get through the Kofa Mountains, we nearly missed the sharp turnoff uphill to the monument.
The rock monument is on a hill surrounded by mountains.
