Only the "maybe's" are saying "maybe" - there's still a solid list. I'm more worried about being hungover than a bit of snow

Looking at the forecast I don't see it being quite cold enough for snow at Evans

Lots of "maybe's"
There are quite a few/too many people I'm sure we will split into groups and wheel accordingly.
Meeting:
10 - 28 -2012
10 AM
Safeway Parking Lot - Enumclaw, WA
152 Roosevelt Avenue East
Enumclaw, WA 98022
Planned Trail:
Evans Creek ORV Park
Trail Map:

Evans Creek ORV park is located about 45 miles southeast of Seattle on highway 165 to Mowich Lake. The park provides a little bit of something for everyone. With trails from easy to most difficult and is arranged for motorcycles, ATVs and off road vehicles. A campground is available for those who want to camp and is accessible for even larger RVs
At the main entrance is a large staging area. Northwest Forest passes are required for the park and it is not uncommon to see enforcement officers checking for them. Trails are numbered and marked for difficulty as well as type of vehicle. Evans Creek offers plenty of challenge and lots of beautiful scenery, with viewpoints of Mount Rainier that are hard to beat. Due to the fact that the trails in Evans Creek are tight and twisty we would not recommend it for large rigs.
Conditions at Evans Creek can vary widely with the weather and season. In winter the park can be closed due to snow and even into late June or early July the upper trails can still be impassible if snowfall was heavy enough. Each season presents it's own set of challenges and we find it a great place to take your rig after a modification to test how things are working. Those who have been to the Rubicon Trail say that if your 4x4 will pass the Evans Creek challenge then you won't have a problem with the Rubicon!
Getting There:
Take Hwy 410 to Buckley and follow signs for Hwy. 165 south to South Prairie and Wilkeson. At the 'Y' follow Hwy. 165 to the left (south) to Wilkeson. Once in Wilkeson stay on the main road and continue to follow signs for Hwy. 165. As the road starts out of Wilkeson it will climb a hill to the right and then will take you through a lot of twist and turns, past Carbanado and finally to a one lane bridge. After crossing the bridge there will be sign to Evans Creek and Mowich lake. Keep to the right at the fork, the entrance to Evans Creek will be approximately 7 miles from the fork in the road and on the left.
Requirements:
Pass Needed? YES
Northwest Forest Pass
For all trails: CB, Front and Rear Recovery Points, BRAIN
For advanced trails: 32" MT or AT tires with good tread. Some is lift required. Reliable, Maintained vehicle. No Full Size Rigs recommended. This trail is narrow in sections.
