LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

'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 three, or slightly less, 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 2024, the blog contained over 1,636 hikes (far less than 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.

68:13 Andorra: A Perspective of Insights from 2 incredible hikes/experiences: An Introduction from one mountain blessing to another.

Jen heading toward Pic de Montmalus, a staggering find. The mountain at right-rear is Pic Cubil Petit, (see 3, 4 & 5 below). The white tank is visible to the sharp eye. Below the mountain is Restaurant Refugi del Llac de Pessons, alongside a lake. Difficult to make out as we are quite a distance away on a tricky trail.

From distance, we get a wonderful view of the refugi, lake and marvelous landscape of rocks and shrubbery. This sight, literally, took the breath away after losing much of it on the climb and continuing hike. We consider this a truly magnificent position.

A view of the above refugi from the top of Pic Cubil Petit.

We mentioned the white tank above. We view it from the peak.

Another look at "The Cubil", much easier to see the white tank, right of peak. Below: The refugi and lake. The enthusiasm is obviously not for most...what do they say? You had to be there!

Another perspective of the refugi, lake and backdrop. Within this region, we count at least 18 small lakes.(We echo the sentiments of the caption from the second photograph.)
