Rockin' XJ Jamboree
Johnson Valley, CA
Nov 18-19, '06​



Come join us for an XJ/MJ run at one of the premier 4wheeling locations in California. Johnson Valley, home of the Hammer Trails, has the best hard-core trails around, plus moderate and easy trails, miles and miles of dirt roads for exploring, and even some sand dunes. So whether you're a JV regular or have never been there before, have a dedicated rock crawler or a stock XJ, come out and join us for a fun weekend of wheeling.​


Saturday Night Dinner and Raffle
Saturday evening a dinner of burgers and brauts will be provided to all participants. Cost of dinner is $6 per person. After dinner there will be a raffle, with proceeds going to Friends of Panamint Valley and the SoCal Chapter of NAXJA. Friends of Panamint Valley is the lead organization in the fight to reopen Surprise Canyon. Raffle tickets will be available onsite.​

Dinner around 6:30 pm
Raffle around 7:30 pm​


Location and Camping Information
Main camp will be on Means Dry Lake in the Johnson Valley OHV area. There are no camping fees, and also no facilities, so this is dry camping. Portable toilets will be provided. Campfires are allowed and encouraged, but burning pallets is prohibited. Means Dry Lake is roughly 4 miles down a graded dirt road from HWY 247, and is accessable to all types of RV's, with lot's of open flat area.​


T-Shirts
Sm, Med, Large, and X-Large $16
XXL and XXXL $18

T-shirt orders need to be recieved no later than Oct 15th. A very limited number of T-shirts will be available onsite. Please send your name, shirt size, and quantity with your order.

T-shirt orders including payment, and payment for dinner tickets, can be submitted by PayPal to [email protected] and you can pay using a credit card through PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account e-mail the order to [email protected] and an e-mail will be sent to you with a PayPal link to use.​


Directions to Johnson Valley
Johnson Valley is approximately 45 miles east of Interstate 15 on Hwy 247. From most directions, exit Interstate 15 at Bear Valley Rd in Hesperia. Go east on Bear Valley Rd and then on Hwy 18 for about 20 miles to Lucerne Valley. At Lucerne Valley, continue straight on Hwy 247. After crossing a four way stop, continue straight on Hwy 247, which is also Old Woman Springs Rd, for about 22 miles to Boone Rd. Look for a sign at Boone Rd saying Johnson Valley OHV Area, Boone Rd. Turn left onto Boone Rd, which is dirt, and go about three miles to an intersection where the main traffic goes to the left. Turn left, the road drops through a gulley, and continue another mile to the dry lake bed. Main camp will be at the dry lake bed.

Lets not call Clawhammer the moderate run this time.

You sure? :dunno:

We may need Phil to rescue rigs like he did that Rhino.
 
We may post up some trails as we see how many will be there. The trails will be run on an informal basis, so no official trail schedule due to permiting issues, but we will be ready. Post up what you'd like to run and we'll plan accordingly. We will check for equipment appropriate for the trail to be fair to everyone running that trail, but one of the purposes of this run is to give new folks a chance to experience Johnson Valley.

Were you out there stacking again?
:D

Yeah. I knew you were coming so I figured with the amount of stacking necessary to get you through there I would need to start now. ;)

I also will be bringing fuses ;)

That trail has always been easy, body or no body.
Easy is a relative term...Ryan (Rawbrown) Ron and myself managed to make it look...um......interesting? after a case (or two?) of brew and nobody bringing any spares last time we got together!
Gotta' love it!

Moderate at best. I think I'll go for something tougher this time out, last year was my shake down run. Ethan and I will be there as well as my eldest son, Richard and his wife Cheryl. I'll be splitting the time between the XJ and the bike. Put me down for 5 shirts, I'll get the sizes and the PayPal to you in the next few days.

Thanks Richard
