Our next stop after our four nights in Kofa was Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. What an interesting visit we enjoyed here! Our story and photos are now posted to our blog that you can find at this link -

 

Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge - January 2020

 

We hope you are enjoying following along on the adventures we had on this long winter trip! :)

 

If you're curious - cabeza prieta, Spanish to English translates to dirty head.

We love that country, but the heavy surveillance is a bit haunting. Thanks for the vicarious sightseeing.

Wonderful TR!  I hope to get to visit on one my trips to Organ Pipe.   That petroglyph site is wonderful.  Your comments on the ghostly rock made me think of some of the passages in Craig Child’s’ The Secret Knowledge of Water.  Thanks for letting us tag along.

Wow Ski.Thanks for this part of the trip.

Quit a lot of petroglyphs. There must have been a lot

of early people living in the area. For so much rock art do you think living in

the area was easy?

 

Ski you take us all on such great trip areas.

Not really too creepy, but we did keep our eyes open. Thanks for the kind comment!
