LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Tenerife, Spain: Mount Teide projects.

'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.

10.37 Sunset visit to Cathedral Rock

After spending most of the day working and recovering from a tough hike up Wilson Mountain the previous day, Sunday, our editor thought it a good idea to observe a sunset from the Cathedral. We can never resist visiting Cathedral Rock so as the classical thinkers might say, the decision was 'a no-brainer'.

A handful of photographs follow, all taken from Cathedral Rock:

Courthouse Butte, a Sedona landmark (actually one of many)


Cathedral Spires accepting sunrays in lieu of alms

Sun makes it's first move, we take positions

Editor waits, or meditates, or seeks vortex...No, she's sleeping

Editor send skivvy to get closer to the sun explaining every inch makes a difference

'Here comes the sun'

There she goes

Now for some action

Never fails to impress

Explosion in the sky

There is always a price. The later one remains on a mountain or butte, the better the flares of the sun. However, it does mean the journey back down the steep rocks takes place in failing light and finally, darkness. Isn't that life; a set of trade-offs?

Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
