LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Bulgaria: Bansko: Following the Banderitsa Ski-lift through he.., well, rough terrain.

'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.

68.29 Andorra: Etangs de Fontargente (2), but rain and fog turned us back, close to end. We continued elsewhere, on our return, discovering interesting sights.

  While we were forced to turn back, the following week we tried the hike again and enjoyed magnificent rewards. Appropriate publication 68.16 earlier, something very special, particularly the feelings felt which added to the sights. 

  Two people might take in a view, say scenery, and yes, might see different things, perhaps accentuate various aspects subjectively. Nevertheless, should the objects be enunciated by each, it's likely they will appear similar. After all, a lake is defined, so is a mountain, etc. However, the feelings that a person derives is invariably subjective; it's unique. It would appear such feelings reach the soul; clearly, they do not enter a person through the eye only.

After returning from the incomplete hike, we continued walking in the location. A mere mile from our turn-around spot, the rain had given up for the day although it still appeared to be active at the orginal destination. Such is the weather pattern over this small area.
Looking back sets the scene of the weather but also provides a look of a 'sultry' beauty.
Jen finding her way on this new find.
As we get higher, everything lower becomes smaller. Wow! What a discovery. Facing toward a lake above and beyond the peak. (See 68.22 Estanys de Juclar).
We enter a forest which leads us toward Etangs de Fontargente.
A nice perspective of part of the valley, facing the entrance.
Returning to ground level.
Via a waterfall.
It appears dull but in fact, it was anything but...
Jen continues on a path, trail and on rocks not quite knowing what we would reach.
Cheers,
