About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Bear Creek to Evergreen

It was a nice and hot August day and we were planning to go somewhere. Somewhere close, cool and... with beautiful scenery along the way. Evergreen came to mind, and there is no better road than the windy Bear Creek Road. And we had good company too ;)

 
Highway 6 is the road where you drive straight and fast. Enjoying the wind and speed. But once we passed Morrison, the road changed...


Bear Creek Road is not speed. It's about scenery. So we stopped here and there, walked along the creek and stared around.




We took our time and enjoyed the roaring water and tough rocks surrounding the road...




It took a while for us to drive these 20-odd miles... But we didn't regret a thing.




Finally we disembarked in Evergreen where we walked along the street, had lunch and coffee before heading home :)





Did you know that Evergreen National Bank is hidden in the woods there? Small log house with 24 hours ATM service... Love it! ;)
 

That time we only enjoyed the town and not the lake... But another time we skipped the walk along the main street and opted for a hike around the lake instead - Evergreen Lake, hot August day.


Pictures were taken on August 23, 2009.
