Topic: Johnson Valley/29Palms land acquisition meetings

[Cheesemaker]

As many of you know that the Marines are trying to take away our holy land of rockcrawling, Johnson Valley.  We all need to get in and voice our opinions against this land grab.

I just got  an announcement in the mail for public meetings on this.

Yeah the Navy is finished with the EIS on this, they are moving forward with it and think by telling the offroad community that they are going to "share" the area with us that it is all ok now.
