King of the Hammers 2012 with Del Albright (VIDEO)

February 20, 2012 2:11 PM

Del Albright, BRC Ambassador, brings us an important land use message from the sixth-running Griffin King of the Hammers 2012 race in Johnson Valley, California. This year's race was a grueling 165 miles long; the longest to date!

Unfortunately, the future of this recreation area is uncertain. Up to 140,000 of the 180,000 acres of BLM land in Johnson Valley is threatened by a United States Marine Corps expansion of its Air Ground Combat Center at 29 Palms in southern California, to increase its live-fire training facilities.

Watch Del's video below to see how you can help!
