Off-Roaders ACT NOW!!!!

The Issue: On Friday, February 18th, the Assembly Budget Committee voted to take $27 million out of the OHV operating budget. This would NOT be a loan, and would continue unstopped year after year. It would result in closures and cut-backs to the California OHV Parks – Carnegie, Clay Pit, Heber Dunes, Hollister Hills, Hungry Valley, Mammoth Bar, Oceano Dunes, Ocotillo Wells and Prairie City. The Snow Grooming program and State Sno-Parks will also be greatly affected or closed. In addition, the Governor is proposing to take $21 million...

Marine Base Trespass = Justice at Black Rock

Was it a “Bad day at Black Rock”? Well’ that depends on who you are. For me, it was enlightening! I have lived just down the road from Black Rock Canyon (AKA Yogi Bear Park) for some thirty years and although I occasionally take visiting relatives up there I had no idea the little visitor’s center served as a part time Court House where a traveling Magistrate arraigns those folks who manage to find themselves crosswise with the law, on any of the regions federal lands. A hundred or...

Walmart in crosshairs again..

Environmental groups have far too much power, and are a able to wield it to easilly. It’s funny how they always seem to find some threatened species whenever someone wants to build (especially Walmart), or in an off-road area that has been used for decades without problems. It sure is funny how this particular snake only lives in this 21 acres, yet in order to appease the environ whack jobs they need 212 acres of enhanced snake habitat. One has to wonder what the cost for snake relocation is,...

California 200 ….And let the law suits begin

Lucerne Valley, Ca– In the day of a lack of personal responsibility, Doris Levinson filed a wrongful death lawsuit Wednesday at Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of her son’s estate and his 3-year-old daughter. Any idiot knows to not play in the middle of the Freeway. When those vehicles can speed up to 85 to 100 miles an hour it does not take a rocket surgeon to figure that being right up on the race track is stupid. Unless self-preservation has been bred out of  some of these...

Godzilla west of Walmart?

I don’t know what it is about those guys at the Town of Yucca Valley, but they are hell bent on getting me involved with the politics of  the Town of Yucca Valley. That ain’t going to happen. My bailiwick is 29 Palms politics, obits, off-road issues, crime news and the occasional eclectic rant. We have folks like Margo and Branson that use this site to report the happenings of Yucca Valley, that know the ins and outs of the in and out action of local government over there....
