The US House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would create the Johnson Valley National Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area in California. The bill now moves to the Senate for their consideration. The Navy was attempting to take control of the area to expand the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. If the bill passes the area will be designated specifically for recreational uses, including, but not limited to, OHV use, camping and hiking. Marine Corps activities would be allowed twice a year and couldn’t include any explosives that could be left behind. Learn more:  Americanmotorcyclist.com
