Cold and windy, most all of the time. But it is home to more 10 plus rock crawling trails then any where else. Multiple comp sites as well. Rock crawling may not have been born in JV but it was defined there.
Some sand dunes but nothing to brag about, great open desert go fast stuff and a few race courses as well. Camping flat a$$ sucks in most spots but the Cougar Butts area on the Lucern side is really nice. The boone road acess road can be a bitch with camping in means dry lake sucking the worst. I sugest the Camp Rock Road side.
Not one of the better OHV area's in ca. for camping but the crowds are small due to that. Out side of the camping the place fully kicks a$$.
exploring with a rhino might be fun, theres plenty of area to do that. Just be carefull if you try to get it up one of the Jeep trails they turn bad quick.
Little LEO activity in most of JV limited to a drive by in both Means dry lake and Cougar buttes. with the later seeing the most activity.
Means dry lake is always a party on New Years. Most of So Ca's hard core Rock crawler scene will be in JV this weekend so you can always check out the dum A$$es like me breaking our junk.
Good luck and SSSSHHHHHhhhhhhh We like JV with no crowds!
