I usually go up I-5 to 512, but I havn't went since moving down here. Probably still the fastest way to go, gonna see how many people from work are gonna go and see if they also need to follow out there.

Thumbs down j

Alrighty ether way. I'll meet ya somewhere. Keep me posted. But I'm.starting to have second thoughts about Evans. Threes still a lot of snow an stuff up there. Another fellow jeep went up an.had one heck if a time on 35s in the snow mud an on most the trails. But we could give it a shot. Just wana warn everyone with the info I know

^ this is correct. There is still quite a bit of snow up there and it is pretty thick heavy stuff. The trails are not bad, because of the tree cover the snow it not too deep. The snow on the forest roads is much deeper and you can get stuck if you are not careful. Last weekend was the first time in 3.5 months that any rigs had been driving around up there so it will probably be better next weekend after more rigs have been through. If you decide to do Evans just remember to take your tire pressure down reallly low. I also reccomend at least 33" tires, a locker, recovery gear, a good shovel, and some snow wheeling skills.
