The Bureau of Land Management is holding a series of public scoping meetings to gather public comments and recommendations on the designation of motor vehicle routes in the West Mojave desert.  One scoping meeting will be held for each of eight subregions.

A scoping meeting for the Jawbone subregion will be held on Monday, February 6 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Kerr-McGee Center at 100 West California Avenue in Ridgecrest, California. The Jawbone subregion includes the Jawbone and Dove Springs OHV Open Areas, Middle Knob, and Rosamond area.

The National Weather Service (NWS) installed a weather station at the Jawbone Station Visitors Center.  The weather station is used by NWS for improving its forecasting models and to provide real time data for the area.  The weather station will be serviced for cleaning and calibration approximately every six months or as needed.

No more do you have to rely on weather reports from other cities and towns in the area.  Now you can learn the exact weather condition at the time simply by visiting the Friends of Jawbone website and clicking the link at the bottom of the page:  www.Jawbone.org.
