Feb. 7-Part Two – Hovatter Road
We took a different route back to camp from Hoodoo Well, we didn’t want to drive down Red Rock Pass! We decided to rely on the Garmin GPS as well as our Kofa map and our Arizona Gazetteer to help us negotiate Hovatter Road. A bonus of this route was finding the Hovatter Homestead. The family of Ray & Barbara Hovatter and their 3 daughters lived here, just inside the border of the Kofa Wildlife Refuge, from 1951 to 1974. More of the story HERE.

The long beautiful road home!
