WILDOMAR: Deputies seeking camper who planned to travel world

Fifty-year-old Daniel Ferguson set off with camping gear, food, water and a cellphone, telling a friend he was going to travel the world, sheriff's officials say.

But his family said the Wildomar resident only planned to camp in the nearby Ortega Mountains, so they reported him missing March 20.

A ground and air search found no sign of him. Now, deputies are asking for the public's help in finding him.

"A neighbor took Daniel to a location off of the South Main Divide, located off...Ortega Highway," deputies said in a written statement. "Daniel told the friend that he was going to travel the world.

"According to family, Daniel has traveled long distances on foot in the past."

Ferguson was wearing a brown leather jacket and black jeans.

Anyone who may have seen him may call investigators at 951-245-3357.
