Last Chance Evans Creek Snow Run 12/11

[billulsund]

For many of us the best time to wheel at Evans is when there is snow on the ground. As many of you probably already know the Forest Service is going to start enforcing the closure of Evans Creek from Dec 15th - March 31st. This means the last chance for a weekend snow run at Evans will be Saturday, December 11th. Lets make the best of this last opportunity of the year to enjoy the great snow wheeling Evans has to offer. We will be meeting at the main lower parking lot at 9:00am and will be leaving to hit the trails at 10:00. Just look for the rigs with the Tilted Wheelin stickers.

This is supposed to be a pretty cold and snowy winter and considering Evans Creek tops out at around 4500 feet elevation I think we will definitely have some snow to play on by then.

Depending on how the Thanksgiving run goes, there's a slight chance I might make it. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Sounds like between this site and the several others I posted the run on we should have a decent turnout. As the day gets closer I will try to get an idea of how many rigs to expect and will do a conditions update the week before so everyone knows what to expect.

Temperatures are dropping and Evans should be getting some snow this week. I may have to head up this weekend and go play in it.

This trip sounds like a blast.

Wish I could make it, but it's not in the cards for this weekend.

Looking forward to the trip report.

Wut do you guys think about hitting the trails at 9 instead of 10?

So who`s going?

 

[myredxj]

I am going to try. I have to finish replacing my passenger side motor mount.

Headed to Evans tonight, I'll let you guys know conditions.

 

[Avanteone]

Dunno if anybody is still going to this, but wheeling conditions at Evans are just about perfect. Just about a foot of snow on most of the park, the lower trails have less, upper half of 520 gets into a couple of feet. I would recommend at least 35's and dual lockers/winch for upper 520 and 197, but the rest are doable with smaller stuff. Last night we ran upper and lower 311, 520, 198, 197 and 102. Have fun!
