Araz Junction

When we arrived there were only a few other rigs parked in the area. All our research said this was BLM land however in the morning we were greeted by Fort Yuma Tribal Police asking for our permit. Since we didn't know we were on the reservation and because we were about to head out the officer let us go with a kind warning and asked that next time we obtain a permit at the Paradise Casino in Winterhaven. I wouldn't use this for more than one night. It is very noisy with train tracks just across the road and road noise on Araz Road but worked as we just needed a place to rest for the night.

Highway on one side, train tracks on the other, and people playing loud music until almost midnight. There were also quite a few people, so it was a little difficult to find a spot not right next to anyone. At least it was free. We pulled in around dinner time and then left early the next morning.
