Lazarow World-Hike-About: 67:19 Tenerife: Carmen to Chinamada, the reverse of our first hike from Punta de Hidalgo to Chinamada. A close look at the real wilderness.

LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Greece: Gerontovrachos Parnassos, which means of course: 'Sticky Boots'.

'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.

67:19 Tenerife: Carmen to Chinamada, the reverse of our first hike from Punta de Hidalgo to Chinamada. A close look at the real wilderness.

A streaky opening: A unique commencement.

Jen achieves a first: Highlighting her hike.

A castle in the wilds tucked into the trees?

The fascinating lighthouse in Punta de Hidalgo, well, for one of us.

A few weeks before we circumvented the rock at upper-base level...Taborno Roque.

Still get excited when I see the tower from afar. Probably excited because my vision still functions from distance.

Our destination is the peak beyond the buildings in view. Surround is magnificently wild.

A possible retirement home in 'sky village'.

We are considering making an offer to trim and prune for our next visit.

Standing above the magnificent peaks across the way. Stunning!

'Oh!' Out of (in) the blue, Jen suddenly comes across an ocean.

...and then continues higher.

Now she stands at the edge, apparently emulating a local show-off.

This shot has everything in it: The lighthouse in the distance, ocean, town, mountains, distance from trailhead, height, tricky trail, color and...um...I'm sure there's something else, too. Hmm!

"Hey! Are you blind, obnoxious or just plain dumb?"
