Johnson (Lucerne) Valley - Economic Impact - I NEED YOUR HELP!

[kim]

Hi Everyone, My name is Kim Carpenter, I am a member of AMA/District 37. I am also a member of Rovers MC, Rescue 3 and I also provide medical/rescue services with Motorsports Medical the official medical provider for SCORE both in the states and in Mexico.

I have been active behind the scenes in the Johnson Valley (Lucerne Valley) land issues ie., Marine Corps expansion and proposed windmill project.

I am gathering information on behalf of the Partnership for Johnson Valley and have been invited to participate in the Lucerne Valley Economic Development meeting on September 2nd. This is where your help is needed. I am trying to gather as much info on how off-roading financially impacts Lucerne Valley. Think about the past six months and the times you have been out to Lucerne Valley. I need an estimate of how much you guys spend in gas, groceries, restaurant and misc expenses such as hardware store, water, dump fee's etc.

I need the BIG picture to present at this meeting. This info will then be forwarded to the powers that be who are initiating the Marine Corps expansion.

I will be making the same post on the Pirates and District 37 forums. Please only respond to me once. I want the dollar figure to be big but accurate.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and time. Hopefully, we will make a difference. Should you have any questions for me you can email me at [email protected]

Thanks again,

Kim C.

"windmill project"? Where can I read more about this plan? We do need the energy and why can't we both use the land...

This past race (MDR 200 Night Race) I have spent near $500 on gas, food, supplies, etc.

Bump: An email only takes a few mins and given how much we have tied up in this sport, a few mins a week is well worth it to help protect our investments...

Just Signed and donated!!!! Thank you so much for your hard work. People, How much easier does it have to be? It is such a shame that more people don't get involved in protecting these lands. Once they are gone they are gone.

(just curious) I know it is a best in the desert race but I know a lot of people who go out to Johnson valley(myself included) are from Southern California.
