For the next 18 months the two of us, Eli and Katy, and our two mutts, Colby and Barlow, will travel the United States three months at a time. Katy, who graduated in December with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Elon University, is doing travel therapy and will do 13 week rotations at different locations around the country. We're going to try and use this opportunity to experience as much as we can, and then share our adventures with our friends and family.

Evergreen

Some very amateur rock climbing

On Saturday, January 7th, Katy and I loaded up the dogs and headed into the mountains. We went to the town of Evergreen and went hiking at an area called Three Sisters and The Brother, named such because of the four large rock formations that define the area and provide great overlooks of the Bear Creek Basin. It was a great hike other then the fact that the trail was covered in snow and ice, so of course me being the graceful one ended up wiping out with a bruised tailbone and hurt pride in the process. We hiked about four miles, most of it with snow falling which made the views even more beautiful.
 

After hiking we drove into the town of Evergreen and grabbed a bite to eat at the Tin Star Cafe, voted as one of Denver's top 50 restaurants to eat. Heading home was more of an adventure then we had wanted as it took us twice as long as it should have because of a snowstorm that had blown in and was dumping several inches up in the mountains. The car behind ours, a four wheel drive jeep, fishtailed and caused the car behind it to slam into its side. We did our fair share of sliding on the road, but thankfully made it home unscathed. Sunday was all about the Broncos as we watched them win an exciting overtime victory over the Steelers!
