Evans Creek, WA. Summer?

I have to admit I have never wheeled up there before.
I have been to Evans Creek sveral times and tooled around on the logging roads with my old rig, but never the trails.

I know there are some very tight ones, and I do not wish to do those.
I would much rather go on some wider safe ones if there are any up there.

Googling brings up lots of reading of runs.

They do not list the trails they were on.

Tim Lund mentioned in the above link.
Tim use to work for ARB USA, then started up his own bizz, www.wildwestoffroad.com
Tim is also a contributing authour and has a section in 4WE Toyota Owner magazine.

Rob has pics on his website too.

Anyways...lots of trip reports of this place on the 'Net.

Would anyone be interested in getting a run setup later this year?

I really dig Greenwater, been going up there with a 4WD since 1990, and was going up there with a 2WD Toyota before that.
I have not covered hardly a dent up at Greenwater, it is very dense with hundreds of miles of trails/logging roads, but I would like to try Evans this summer.

evan's creek is loads of fun, there aren't too many "wide" trails. i've been the last two times and swapped paint and received a couple dents in my pickup. you can't be afraid of body damage what with the wet/muddy rocks, because you will slide. most of the trails aren't too difficult, but right now the mud will make you want a rear locker, i am available most weekends, or already up there if anyone want's to go.

I am not far from Evans, but I sure would like some wide trails, but have some ruts with ups and downs to have some fun.

Never been to Tahuya before, but I hear it is fun.
I just saw this Fathers Day run to Tahuya yesterday posted over in the big FJ Cruiser forum.
