LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

New Zealand: Tongariro Alpine Crossing: Ngauruhoe Volcano ("Mt. Doom"), a perfect sunrise.

'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. Our 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.

Odds and end on the trail

Hiking in the wilderness is not only about having a wonderful experience—there are some very serious aspects to consider. Below, we deal with a few of them. (Don't enlarge the pictures as the captions should be read to get an understanding of our earnestness)

Goofing off on the Mount Whitney Trail—you thought she was always conscientious

Typical hook...um hiker at start of Mount Whitney Trail. (Terrible but I could not resist)

Preparing the 10 essential items per the hiker's unofficial guide. Unfortunately, 2 items missing—had to drink them en route. Definitely a lack of discipline

A Chiropractor on every trail—this office with a view, too

The well adjusted hiker: Mentally prepared with 10 items, and physically ready, following office visit above

Guess who we miss so much—I really needed another boss in my life. Where to now, Madam?
