This quite possibly might be one of the best ideas we've come up with here in the NWC. While on the trail at Elbe a few of us were talking about running Evans Creek and Elbe Hills in the same weekend. From there the idea of the "Double Header Run" was born.
Who: Open invite to all. No whiners. No junk.
What: Wheel, camp, wheel.
When: December 13-15
Where: Evans Creek (outside Carbonado, WA), Elbe Hills (outside Elbe, WA)
Why: Because this will be classic Northwest wheeling at it's finest, and it's the last weekend to run Evans Creek before the seasonal closure.
Rough Game Plan: Head up to the first area (I'm thinking Evans) Friday to camp. We wheel all day Saturday and cover most of the trails. Either stay another night, or break camp and travel to the next area. Expect maybe an hour and a half drive between the two. Wheel the second area all day Sunday, and then head for home. Wham, double header!
Requirements: This isn't going to be a run for the inexperienced. I would recommend 33's, a locker, and preferably a winch. I would be shocked if there wasn't snow at Evans Creek during this time. Body damage is probable.
I posted this early to give you guys plenty of time to plan. I'd like to see a solid group for this. So who's in? :firedevil

well sad to say this sounds like an AWESOME trip; but I'll be stuck at work. Next year though, there definitely needs to be a second annual double header weekend! I'll be in for sure
(bump!! Looking forward to this one!)
