Kofa overland trip report. March 6-8 2026

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Stealing Mike's thunder!  We had a nice weekend traveling the Kofas.  There were 7 vehicles to start but Sat night Mick left to go home.   High winds Friday afternoon and evening made setting up camp and sleeping difficult.  The winds were easier on Saturday and had died down by evening.   Friday night we camped just to the west of the North Star mine and visited it on Saturday.  After the mine we headed for Hoodoo cabin and finished up at the Hovatter homestead.  To learn more about the Hovatters, click: https://azoffroad.net/hovatter-homestead

 

I didn't take a lot of pics because I've done this trail several times.
