Marines Release New Alternative 6 for Twentynine Palms Proposed Base Expansion:

The Partnership For Johnson Valley will issue a statement on the latest revision "6" after it's review of the new map.
In a brief statement, Chairman Harry Baker said that he is disappointed to see that none of the area to the east of the base was included, and again, it is the recreation lands and those lands that border the communities that are targeted.
[Brief Description of new proposed Alternative 6]
Proposed 29Palms Training Land/Airspace Acquisition Project
Project Description Paper Number 5 – November 2009
Alternative 6 (West/South)
About 140,000 acres west/19,000 acres south
Maneuver would start from the east on the
current MCAGCC base and the south
study area, and the MEB battalions would
converge on an objective in the west study
area.
No dud-producing ordnance use in 40,000
acres in the south of the west
study area; this 40,000 acres would be open
for public use when MEB training not
required.
About The Partnership for Johnson Valley: The leadership of the Partnership For Johnson Valley has been cooperatively working with the military and the affected Stakeholders in an effort to explore alternatives to the proposed land expansion.

On a side note for those that do not know about this trail system. The Johnson Valley area is home to "The Hammers" trail system which is considered by many to be the toughest non stop technical rock trails in the world. Which is why it is home to the "King of the Hammers" race. These trails were built by (yes im a member) the Victor Valley 4 Wheelers in Hesperia California which has there annual event there like many other clubs. A bit of information regarding the Trails.
