LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Argentina: Laguna de Los Tres.

'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.

21.05 Keilia Hike to Peak, contrasting wild and calm weather on each side of mountain. 21.06 Lighthouse in rain




Swell ocean swells viewed from cliff.




Gale-force winds were intimidating, restricting our stay at the peak.





A view from the trail of a blowhole.




The Makua Valley, viewed from the summit in torrid conditions.




The breakers from the side, show a broadside not easily seen from the shore.




The winds, clouds and mountains combined to create a dramatic atmosphere.




Quite taken in by the number of swells forming and of course, the colors




Near a 'pillbox' on Lighthouse walk following heavy rain.




We suppose that's the lighthouse.




Editor after taking a good soaking following heavy rains. Stops to rest before 'pillbox' after running
to get out of rain; then blue skies return.





Another captivating scene on a rather, wait for it,...dull Hawaiian day.




Standing below 'pillbox' observing the horizon in case US radar fails.



Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
