LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

'An angel arrives at the landing': Angel Landing, Zion National Park, Utah.

'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.

69.29 Bulgaria: Pamporovo: A circuit through the forests to the summit. (Please, don't cut off our wings.)

Nestled in the mountains, a wonderful place to 'kick-back' with a hot Nesle and count. There are 3 distinct methods used in the mountains: The lazy approach is to count trees; the intermediate approach is the counting of branches; while the complete idiot will count leaves. Being much smarter than those filling the aforementioned categories, I use a calculator.
There's the initial target, Snezhanka Tower, just a hop-skip up the slope.
An inside approach to reaching the summit.
In the distance, we see 'stars', those better viewed from a planetarium.
"Hi, Guys, any recommedations for some good food today?"
"Of course, I'm serious...we're both vegetarians...you and we have quite a lot in common."
The early snow disappeared after 3 days.
If we go down into the woods today, we're sure of a big surprise.
Don't believe that's a good path for a hiker...then again, I can be a little cowardly. Then again, if we're talking zip-line...
We find it a good idea to perform a brake check before descending.
Enjoy spotting the odd building tucked away in the forests.
The national flag has a presence. 
Follow that curve.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
