LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Tenerife, Spain: Looking back to check that our car is safe.

'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.

61.01 Tucson: Babad Do'ag, whatever that means...actually, Frog Mountain....thank you, Go'ogle.

Captured our attention.
We've never admitted this to anyone, but we often play 'Hide-and-Seek' in the mountains. From this position, Jen darts down the mountain and I give chase. Sometimes, not often, she lets me find her.
I stalked this fella for a while which was interesting. "Have you seen an old woman in the vicinity recently?" I asked the youngster.
He mislead me and I found myself on a small peak trying to distinguish small rocks in the distance from a very 'attractive' woman. (Trying to recover after the previous erroneous caption.)
The search continues in the wilderness. I hate it when she leaves me all alone like this.
'Okay, I give up...you win.'
I would have published more photographs of Jenni, but I struggled to find her.


Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey


It's so dry in Tucson that for sanity's sake, we sought a body of water after we got a little bored gazing into our bath tub. We found this lovely lake somewhere in the city.

We mean no harm in criticizing the locals but are puzzled why they don't consider using a mechanical car wash system rather than the 'drive-through' version. We understand the benefit of savings in electricity usage, but still have serious doubts. It also raised the question of 'how many people does it take to wash a vehicle in Tucson?' Just asking.
