I'm planning on being there so long as I get the buggy built next week. There should be about 15 of us staying in a house in evarts

My buddy and our womenz are heading down on Tuesday the 28th, staying 2 nights coming home mid afternoon on the 30th. My buddy in a lifted Yellow TJ on 33's, me in my blurple XJ lifted on 31's, locked. We're going to be staying in the cabins at Evarts.

Be there Monday 26th till end of the week. Should have large crowd and capable rigs. Tuning KOH car... First house on left in Evarts...

Do u think there will be any snow in Harlan this new years?

There probally will be some up on the mountian. It is supposed to rain on friday night so it will be muddy and up to 50 degrees around friday.

Ok well i hope we see a bunch of pics from new years weekend in Harlan. HAPPY NEW YEARS

The trip that my friend and I had planned went off as planned, sort of. His wife had to back out at the last minute to stay home to keep looking for their dog that ran off. Happy ending, and the dog was found.

On Tuesday the 28th, we left central Illinois at 8:17AM CST. From home to Evarts it was around 480 miles. With two gas stops, and one rest area stop, we made it in about 9 1/2 hours. Would have been quicker but we were stuck in traffic going around Indy due to an accident.

We checked into Black Mountain Cabin Rentals. It was decent but if you are wanting to impress the ladies, you might go to Holiday Inn Express in Harlan.

We were greeted nicely by the manager

I have to say that when we left home we didn't expect ther to be that much snow. The easy trails would normally be just that but, snow on top of ice turns that trail into a dangerous combination. Pictures do not do justice.

One thing we found and didn't really expect was the hospitality and friendlyness of the local residents. We had lunch in the cafe at Buddies Chevron. Nice folk.

This was a nice trip, and no carnage. I want to go back in warmer weather.
It was worth the trip.

I saw one bronco and one cut up cherokee all wknd. Glad you all had a good time.
