LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nepal: Evening below Annapurna.

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every couple of months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

Whereas we continue to update the blog regularly, we circulate email notifications infrequently.

Be prepared, just in case.

Periodic Advertisement and/or Warning

Returning to the city after each adventure, we are more aware of the societal acrimony that exists and seems to be developing strongly. We notice the discourse between people is rather harsh—we put that gently, we think. We are not commentators on the issues of the day; nevertheless, when we read the suggestions that people should begin preparing for revolution, we don't laugh as hard as we once did. We don't even giggle. Instead, we ponder and think.

Last Sunday, while hiking and scaling the marvelous El Capitan Mountain, we found our safety-haven in case the predictions of doom materialise. We have included a picture for reasons that will become obvious. Kindly note that the suite on the left is for Jenni and her spouse while the other two are as yet, unlet. Lately, the real estate recession has not been good for outlying (high-rise) properties. Comes the revolution, we believe people will be 'climbing and scrambling' to reach this cave...umm 'suite of safety'.

Suite on left occupied, other two still available. Please note: Ablutions not yet in operation. Added attraction is occasional visits of mountain lions (no extra charge). Without lions, there is an additional fee.

Should you have an interest, contact Jenni at your convenience. Serious renters only, please.

And now for the "Sales Pitch"
At sunset, an alternate meaning for "Whisky on the Rocks"

"A room with a view"

Don't be concerned. Our engineer, as seen above, is currently working on road improvements...slowly

Meanwhile, engineer's hardworking spouse continues searching diligently for other rental opportunities in La Jolla.

Cheers,

You're right. It was a slowish day
