LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nepal: Evening below Annapurna.

'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.

26.01 Lion's Head, Cape Town, South Africa...a great city hike and rock scramble.


After four days in Johannesburg with Mom, she sent us packing, heading for the Mother City. It's no wonder they call it the fairest cape of them all. We were weary following two inter-continental flights, both without or very little sleep respectively. Imagine how tired the plane must have been; at least we sat in our seats and did...nothing.

The exciting news is that our younger son, Robbie, proposed marriage to Shelby who apparently accepted without, it seems, much hesitation. Smart woman!

For those who once lived in Cape Town, we imagine some of the pictures will bring back fond memories...it is a beautiful city.



On the way back from peak above, the late sun shines on the black rock, turning it golden.





The editor goes ballistic...No! That should be vertical.





Over-the-top on Table Mountain as viewed from Lion's Head. (Note the cable-car on the way up or down.)
Cable station extends on right corner.






"Hey Jen, this is not as high as you think." Overlooking the town of Sea Point.





Table Mountain as a backdrop from the 'Lion'...not too bad.





The reward at the top.





The late sun softens the city.





We stayed for sunset.

Taking a flyer...and concentrating completely.





Devil's Peak in cloud (to the left), the next day's climb.





A calm and golden Altantic Ocean.





One more of the corner of the Table.



Cheers,
