Day 2 Kofa Wildlife Refuge Quartzsite, Arizona

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!

This morning, Kyle and Allison hiked up into Palm Canyon. 

When they got back, we were packed and ready for our off-road adventure.  We rode into Kofa Queen Canyon.  Doors off and top off!

We watched a group of 6 male bighorn sheep on the mountainside.  It is lambing time and so the females usually go higher up into the mountains where they are more isolated and protected from predators.

The California desert poppies were in full bloom.  They are such happy little flowers. 

The whole mountainside was painted yellow.

The kids went rock climbing.

Lunch spot.

Our campsite.

Kite flying.

Kyle and Allison set up the tent for a night of sleeping in the desert.

We enjoyed tortellini in a lemon garlic butter sauce with sweet peas, grilled asparagus, scallops, and shrimp…and wine!
