Day 2 Kofa Wildlife Refuge – Palm Canyon Road

We took the road to Crystal Hill.  Quartzsite and the surrounding area is well known to rock hounders.  You can hike to the top of Crystal Hill and collect all kinds of interesting rocks and minerals.  We bypassed this hike though, and drove on the Pipeline Road through the northern portion of the refuge.  

Rocks and mountains and cacti everywhere.  I’m not tired of the view…I love it here.

Our lunch spot.

We drove through town to fill the Jeep with fuel.  We were also able to find the Quartzsite, Arizona Off-road Atlas and the Map of the Arizona Peace Trail also meant for 4 wheeling.

This evening we invited our neighbor, Bob, to join us for dinner.  We grilled shrimp and garlic flatbread with small potatoes and broccoli with teriyaki glaze.  It was nice to have some company. 

We had a campfire and watched the stars pop out.
