Our off-season luck continues! A cancellation means we spend the night at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
While the Imperial NWR lines the river and exists primarily due to the water, Kofa has almost none but contains nearly twenty six times the land. It contains two rugged mountain ranges and is an important habitat for bighorn sheep.

Five days out of San Diego found us rolling across the Colorado and into Arizona.
With my new olive-based shaving cream, milky face cleanser and some a shampoo that came with a shower cap which reads “Vixen Hot Mama Bella Donna Goddess Botticelli Muse” and would make an excellent saddle cover, I am off for a seven day ride and nearly two week trip across the blasted deserts of Southern California.
