Default Evans Creek ORV Trail Run - 09.20.07




A couple of my coworkers (Adam and James) had been planing a trail run to Evans Creek ORV for a little over week. My wife had plans to volunteer that day so I kept saying no. Finally, Thursday came and Adam needed to use my jigsaw to do a little wheel well trimming on his Jeep. Well my wife's plans for the day changed and she said to go. Sweet.

Knowing very well that the trail system at the Evans Creek ORV area was not designed to larger vehicles like my Toyota FJ80 Land Cruiser, my intent was that we would stick to the easier trails and/or forest roads. So off we went for the day's adventure.

Good report. Fun read. I'd say you did an excellent job of steering your big Land Cruiser over and through those obstacles. I have seen you do it before on the very rocky Clover Springs Trail so I am not surprised you were successful this time. You are a good driver, Steve, and it is noticeable to those around you. Good for you.

Luck can be with me only for so long before body damage occurs. I need to stay away from places like that with my Land Cruiser.

I've should have known better myself. I was lucky. Never again (at least in my cruiser).
