Means Dry Lake Event - King of the Hammers Race - 2-12-11

Over the past week, Means Dry Lake in Johnson Valley saw the King of the Hammers off road race. An estimated crowd of 20,000 people were packed into the lake bed. There was a sea of motorhomes, toy haulers and every kind of off road vehicle imaginable. The San Bernardino County Fire Department was on hand keeping a close eye on things. Thank goodness for GPS units, for when you have a dispatch that says, 'the incident is located near a white toy hauler near the middle of the lake bed...' We did have one incident that required air transport for one person and that will get its own post.
