A proposed federal airspace grab threatens off-roading and events at Johnson Valley like King of the Hammers. We’re not letting it happen.
⚠️ What’s going on:
The military is trying to fast-track a plan to expand restricted military airspace over Johnson Valley — without proper review, public input, or transparency.
If they succeed, off-road access could be permanently cut, and events like King of the Hammers would be forced off the map.
This isn’t just another land-use fight.
👉 Congress created Johnson Valley for OHV recreation. Now federal agencies want to change that — with no vote and no accountability.
❌ The problems with the plan:
- Uses a shortcut Environmental Assessment instead of a full Environmental Impact Statement
- Fails to notify key stakeholders and the off-road community
- Reduces the amount of time the public can respond to a major land-use changePuts the entire future of King of the Hammers at risk
🛠 What we’re demanding:
✅ A full NEPA Environmental Impact Statement
✅ A 90-day extension for public comment
✅ Removal of the most extreme threats to access
