OUT IN THE DESERT BY KOFA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE



29 January 2020:  We left our camp on the shores of Lake Mead and headed further south.  Stopped at Echo Bay campground on Lake Mead and spent the night.  Also took advantage of filling up with fresh water and dumping the holding tanks.  Forecast weather was for some very windy conditions coming so we only spent one night there.  This used to be one of our favorite launch points to kayak Lake Mead.  Left the Lake Mead area and drove down to the Quartzsite area where we filled our propane tanks and headed out into the desert on the boundary of KOFA National Wildlife area.  We like camping out there as there are no people around like near the town of Quartzsite.

These old dead trees have been here for a long time.

This area has a lot of these red fishhook (?) barrel cactus.
