Sheriff’s Search and Rescue teams who spent many long hours looking for the hikers who went missing in Joshua Tree National Park are volunteers. An annual fund-raiser—Desert Run, the all-day off-road event at Means Dry Lake in Johnson Valley—supports the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue volunteers. Managing editor Tami Roleff says get your motor running…
It’s that time of year again when the Morongo Basin Search and Rescue team is holding its family-friendly, off-road fundraiser at Means Dry Lake in Johnson Valley. The fund raiser will be held the weekend of October 6 through October 8, with the actual 20- to 25-mile Desert Run taking place Saturday morning, October 7. You must have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to participate; runs will be marked as “easy” and “hard” so you can choose which course you want to drive. Registration for the Desert Run is $60 in if you pre-register online at desertrun.org, or $65 at the event, and $30 for active-duty military. Prizes will be awarded.
