King of the Hammers Feb 5, 2016
So who is going to KOH this year? I will be there again spectating. 4 years straight for me. If you haven't been you need to go it is AWESOME. Well worth taking off a Friday and driving up to Johnson Valley. Here are some pics from last year.

So the best way to get there is through Yucca Valley and then take Old Woman Springs Road to Boone Road. I shoot to get there by 7am and then head to the HammerTown for the pre start line up. You can see the rigs up close and talk to the crews and drivers. then I watch the start for about 20 minutes and then head out to back door. Here you want to wait until they drop the tape and let you cross over the course and walk up into the valley to watch the close up action. Last year we saw 6 rollovers in an hour and half. It was amazing. After that we headed out into the desert to watch some high speed action and then over to Chocolate Thunder to watch more carnage. Another thing to know is to follow the helicopters as they typically track the leaders. I don't know how we could officially do a meet up as it is literally in the middle of nowhere with 40,000 other people and total chaos. That is part of the experience.

I guess we could meet up at the Gas station (Valero) that is 8.2miles down Old Woman Springs Road. 1145 Old Woman Springs Road at around 6:45am?? Any takers?
http://www.bing.com/mapspreview?&cp=...=1&form=S00027
Here is a pic of the place we will meet at at 6:45 am. If you aren't there by 7am we will try to find you amongst the other 40,000 people at the event . Things to bring. $20 cash to get in. Motocross Goggles to wear if the wind kicks up. Lots to drink and a snack. Layers of clothing. One year I froze and one year I was hot. Last year was just right.

I've never been neither (to see KOH) Johnson Valley yes, and I told myself I would be going this year, so I'm down.
You could also meet at my house if you wanted since I live literally right off the 62 fwy at the base of the grade as you go up morongo valley to yucca valley which only takes like 30 mins to get to Johnson Valley from there. Or the gas station but I'm in either way.
@ masson74
When you say follow the helicopter are you driving around or walking around to each of the areas? I have no idea how it works.
