Delivered a load of steel pipe to Leadville CO after spending the night in the Freightliner one snowy October 30 yrs ago. Rolling off the mountain in the still early morning sunshine (now unloaded), decided to pull over in a turnout and wash my head. Kept a 5 gal container on the passenger side just for such occasions. As I was drying my hair (still had some then!) I realized a bighorn sheep (Ram!) was up above me, watching me do my thing. I wished him a very good morning and felt blessed to have seen such a majestic sight right on the pavement. One other time, rolling south on I-15 in the high desert of Southern California maybe south of Baker, saw another one, just having a look at all us humans going up and down the highway. They're out there, brother Brad. Keep your eyes peeled!!

Agree, KOFA is a great place to Overland. Found some natural springs near the KOFA monument that had lots of wildlife. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it is going to be a very interesting trip. Saddle up, grab a deep seat and hang on. Here we go.

It's an amazing area, surrounded on 3 sides by the Yuma Test Range! Exhilarating to say the least. :))

I live on the Navajo Rez and take my 99' 4runner limited all over the place and it's spectacular. They don't like outsiders offroading here but I keep it low key and blend in, riding solo with my classic rig. The Rez could have a yearly overland rally if they wanted to, and it would bring jobs and eyes to their people. But I get wanting to keep the land the way it has been.

I just came back from Kofa a couple of days ago! Camped out off of Kofa Queen Canyon Rd! What a cool place!

Looks like another fun drip Brad. ;)

We did our maiden Arizona Homeward for Heroes trek in the Kofa in mid-March, Super Cool Place!!!

thanks fantastic adventure gracias amigo órale órale

You should mark the Harqua Hala Peak Trail to do when you come back to the area. It's a moderate 10 mile trail to the top of the highest peak in the area- just on the other side of I-10. I love that red XJ with the dual JCR tire carriers- looks like a Wagoneer model!

The wife & I chose Kofa as our first weeklong adventure in my new Gladiator diesel back in mid-February. First time there, and I had the same reaction as you - how come I've never been here before? Absolutely beautiful area to explore! Using an old (and apparently outdated) Backcountry Adventures book, we ended up doing about 120 miles on one day, as one of the connecting trails in the book was now completely overgrown and no longer in use. It resulted in a couple hours of an unplanned night run. Part of the adventure!

Love your videos. My wife and I have watched many of them. We were particularly interested in your video where you discussed ALL of the mods and upgrades that yo did to your silver "Dream Jeep". We sold our Sahara and we are planning for a 4DR Rubicon by next year. Is there a chance you could create a PART 2 video to your silver "Dream Jeep" video and create a list of items you chose, the IDEAL ORDER to have them added, and, most importantly, who you chose to do the various installs. That would be incredibly helpful and a nice boost to those businesses that did the work. If you chose these installers, that is all that we need to know to plan for these same businesses to do our installs as well. Thank you!
