The road to Kofa is scenic. Funny little signs along the way (not pictured) warn of unexploded munitions dating back to the Patton era when this was a war game playground

Onward to Yuma, caught some cool pics before losing the sun. It’s a neat town. This is the old Hotel Del Sol. Cool paint showing through.
