When you follow the road back to the KOFA mine area and stop before you get to the road that has a sign indicating no motorized travel then you are close to the mine and the cemetery. The pictures face toward the mine. The opposite way is the way to the cemetery. In order to find the cemetery we had to get on top of a hill and then could see it down below us. It is an easy walk through a wash and around the bottom of a hill and there the cemetery was.
When we went back we headed north at the T in the road and headed north to the Polaris/ Anterres mine area. We have explored it before but took some new people who enjoyed going into a small opening in the hillside where they stored core samples. They are pretty colored rock and make a nice little souvenir.
The weather now is pretty nice staying in the 70's and low 80's with some days only in the 60's but plenty of sunshine. The only thing that hasn't been pleasant is the wind has been kicking up in the afternoon. We got caught out in it when we went for a walk. The sand really stings your legs when it is whipping down the street at 30 miles an hour. The dust gets stirred up and the mountains disappear in the dust filled sky. All the dust in the air makes for pretty sunrises and sunsets if there are clouds to reflect it.
