Default Evans Creek run March 21st

Ok so we are planning a run up to Evans Creek ORV park on the 21st of March. it is a saturday. we will be meeting in the Fred Myer parking lot in Bonney Lake that morning. there is still snow up there so i am not sure how much of the trails we will get through.

Now we just need to set a time to meet in Bonney Lake. i think 8:30 or 9:00 would be good but if you think otherwise please post your time and reasons.

If you are planning on going on this trip you must need the following (along with anything else you can think of):

-some sort of front/rear tow hooks (to be pulled if you get stuck)
-tow strap
-tools for possible trail fix

please respond if you are planning on going on this trip.

You know I'm in for this one, Brother. Once I roll into Bonney Lake, I need directions from there to Fred Meyer. I will be there between 0830-0900, on Saturday 21 March. I have front and rear tow hooks and a winch. I also have a power saw in case we end up having to do some logging.

it is really easy to get to fred myer. you will come into bonney lake on highway 410. just stay on that highway all the way through bonney lake and about half way through the town the fred myer will be on your right right off 410. we will be waiting in the parking lot.

ok we will meet between 830 and 900 on saturday morning. i will be there at 830

just another heads up. we will be attempting the hardest trails there. there will definitely be some winching and/or pulling up some of the trails. but so far looks like we are gonna have a pretty good turnout! i have two of my buddies coming with jeeps and maybe a third.

Is this peer pressure to get a winch. Last time I was pressured into an Aussie Locker

Brandon, it's looking like we may just be in for another hellatious snow run. WE got a couple inches here in Oak Harbor again, today. It was melted a couple hours later.

Seattlecrwlr, if your XJ is down come the weekend of the Evans creek run, you're welcome to ride with me.

no theres no pressure im just trying to tell everyone what to expect

my buddies went up the evans today cuz it dumped snow up there. there is about 2.5 feet of new snow. it is supposed to be nice this week so it may melt a little bit. we shold still be able to do a few trails. but if not we can always do some snow wheelin or plow through some trails. either way i am still headed up there on the 21st!

yes this will be your first taste of evans and then this summer you can try it when all the snows gone and see what it is truly like!

so far we have these people going:
-Me (and two buddies for sure)
-Buck
-Tampaviking (and one of his buddies)
-maybe seattlecrawler

i am not sure if Keaton is still going or not.

does this sound accurate?

Yeah I am definently still going, I just hope that everybody else can still come.

Same deal as last time though, I still don't have any rear recovery points, but I am working on it.
