the board road is in the sand dunes on the calif side of the river...it is hidden and exposed dependent on the tide of the sand.
no more than 50 miles into calif, it will be on the north side of the interstate...
hope that helps..there were several articles in the treasure/old west mags of the 60'and 70's...
