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.

37.27 Romania: Bucegi National Park, Busteni. The trees are our friends.



As the weather began to turn, snow covered the mountains, lightly. Unfortunately, the winds, not our friends picked up. Our allies are the trees because they provide something to enable firm footings at times: their roots.


Struggling through and up the forest trail.




Break-through, spotted cable car pylon above.




On the way up.




We spot an interesting sight through the trees and then explore further.




Across the way, the result of overnight snow.




A second break-out.




The target which we would only attempt when the cable-car is running so we could ride down—far too long at that stage of our trip. High winds prevented this.




Attractive trees enhanced in soft light.




From across the river, we spot the waterfall, part of another trail.



Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
