A free weekend had arrived. I got my bike geared up to head West. I had nice route planned out for such a free weekend to take me out to Kofa Wildlife Refuge. This was also a perfect time to try out a new piece of kit: Wolfman Luggage Expedition Tank Panniers. The Coyote, Giant Loop bag works nicely but a little extra space would help for those times that I carry camping gear. Also the panniers are much more accessible for items that I don't want to have to dig through the Giant Loop for. |
After backtracking from the horsey dead end I was paying more attention and ran across this sign and a faint trail leading west. A google search resulted in a nice history lesson: Mormon Battalion that was formed for the Mexican War in 1846. Also there's a nice collection of maps showing the routes they took: Maps. I followed the trail but at times is was a stretch calling it a trail. I ended up running into some powerlines that ran North-South and great dirt trails. |
