LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nepal: Everest Base Camp: The closest we're likely to get to the icon peeking from rear.

'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.
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.

68.24 Andorra: Llac Querol (2), commencing the hike from our apartment as the car had a vacation day.

We commenced at ground-level for the second approach, not driving to the official trailhead. The first hike began higher up where we parked the car, making this one longer and steeper although we had added some legs to the first hike upon reaching the summit. In fact, the additional summit wandering probably evened out the length.

Another view of the steep ascent.
An opportunity to 'meet and greet' our neighbors. They did show a definite interest. When we reached the peak, lo-and-behold, we noticed this group led by a shepherd grazing below us.

Nothing spectacular on the lake front but it is a point of interest.
That's far more interesting.
Jen bypasses the lake, heading to the summit.
Height always enhances the sights.
Jen anticipates some rain.
I didn't, so instead headed for the small peak.
Apparently successful.
A view of Vall d'Encles, a place we found fascinating, far below.
A close-up of the flock that apparently followed us up.
A view of our neighborhood, El Tarter and Soldeu, from the peak.
A rock with a view or perhaps, a rocky-view.
Jen in her adopted natural habitat.
Cheers,

From the peak, we noticed the flock following us. Heck, to be so popular.
