LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

San Ramon: At first, I thought it needed explanation. Not true. Top Left: "You're kidding me. After hiking 4 miles from the base below, you still want to climb up there...and snakes...?" The stance revealed it all. The rest is self-explanatory, too. (Not part of the formal trail either).

'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.

22.10 Additional photographs from an incredible day: Mont-aux-Sources. (Part 2)


Our comments of this hike are on blog 22.08.

One of the highlights of the hike, inter alia, is the climb both up and down on the two sets of chain ladders.
The funny thing is that two hikes following this one included chains, too. Couldn't help thinking of the
song, "Set me free, why don't you, Babe'. Also, couldn't help pondering of the many chains that still exist in a free
South Africa. Rather than think about it, enjoy some of the pictures from a region that knows no boundaries
and limits of beauty.




A fascinating view as we return from the summit.




Fog or sunshine, it matters not. The rungs are trained to know where to go.




The Sentinel revealed.




Practising for a leap across the Tugela Falls without a barrel. What's wrong with this boy?





Jenni crosses many streams on way to Amphitheatre for next show. On our return,
we used a compass because of the thick fog. Oy Vey!





Every gap attracted the mist making it spectacular.





For my next trick, I'm about to...turn back.





Good decision. It's much safer lower down.






Hey Jen, guess what's following you again?





Stairway to near-heaven or as one might imagine it.





Jen looks a little distressed at the Tugela Falls as she searches for husband
in the fog (I have the lunch).





It's a sunny day after all at the Sentinel.





Spoke too soon as Jenni walks on the summit to...who knows where.



Cheers,


Jenni and Jeffrey
