Boon-docking at Ferguson Lake....

1/30/2015

 
(  Writing this from the California side of the Colorado River on Ferguson Lake Road, on February 1. )
Friday, January 30, we moved to a wonderful hide-a-way site, one mile from Ferguson Lake.  This is in the very southeast corner of California.  The CA and AZ state line is the Colorado River and Ferguson Lake is on both side of the river.  The closest city is Yuma, Arizona. 
As you enter the Imperial Dam Recreation area, you take Senator Wash Road to Ferguson Lake Road and drive 9.5 miles to the lake.  Our boon-docking site is one mile before the lake, tucked in a wash with hills all around us and Palo Verde and Mesquite trees to break the wind.

As we head out to Ogilby Road and then US-8, we stop to take one more picture of the desert trees in bloom.

"No Facilities", that means boon-docking available for us.

From the sign, it is five more miles to our site.

The colors and shapes change with every turn in the road and every hilltop we crest.

As beautiful as the sky was all day, toward evening dark clouds came in with a little rain; so we have no sunset pictures to share.
