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.
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.

21.11 Oahu: Kuli'ou'ou Ridge Hike. 21.12 Pillbox Hike in Kailua with Ridge extension for miles.


These are two separate hikes in different parts of the island. It's worth mentioning that the ocean colors
appear artificial to the naked eye, not only through the camera.



Rabbit Island view from 2,000 feet above, Kuli'ou'ou Ridge.




Early stages of 'pillbox' climb in Kailua. We continued hiking up, over and down another 16 hills.





A walk in and above the suburbs giving and indication of the water colors.





The day after, we took an early morning hike before leaving for New Zealand, to capture the sunrise.
The position is similar to that of the picture above. A point we always make: Each day is different,
each part of the day varies.





An Oahu backdrop, always dramatic. The foreground is interesting, too.





As we came over the large hill (little mountain), the vista opened.




Bonny body coming through the rye, up and over and down; repeat 15 times.





Camera catches canoeists slacking.




Similar position from above but early the following morning—canoeists apparently quit but replaced
with a hot-shot team.





The only farmland we spotted from the cliff at Kuli'ou'ou; no wonder the vegetables are so much
more expensive than on the mainland.





The beach at Lanikai and we suppose, beach houses. The reefs are spotted easily.




Jenni commences the down trek after leaving the panoramic views from the ridge.
Camera facing the Honolulu side, behind is Kailua side and neighboring cities.





The ocean, beach and rock scenes are many and all color-filled.




Another aspect of Hawaii.



Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
