LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, early (very) morning.

'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 2025, the blog contained over 1,800 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.

Romania: It was a Dynamic Experience; Challenge and Excitement.

Into the abyss she rode with vigor...maybe...walked.
We need to clear a path first...makes sense, I'd think.
Maybe this path will work...hopefully, in a fashion. I would hate to disappoint him; he is known to resort to tears...even on a good day.
Looks awfully good until we tickle...um...scratch the surface.
Jen takes the climb in her stride with only the odd grunt or two.
It reminds us of our 'kiddie' days playing "King of the Castle"...some things never change, apparently.
That's a 'wow', obviously; the building structure has very nice lines, too.
Over the top and down below to the...bottom...that was not difficult, was it?
Let's run up again, but this time with some vigor, please.
"Please fellas, hold the line! A little cleanliness on the side works wonders, too."
"Good move although a little bit exaggerated...let's hold off on the showmanship, please."
Love the surroundings...so rich and powerful.
Let's try that again; this time from the top. Wow! (City of Brasov).
"Hey Smokey, keep on puffing; it keeps the lungs clear...so they tell us.
It was only a matter of time before his restless urge surged...what did Jen tell you...right on time.
Distinguised, as least.
Climber's climb, perhaps obvious but we don't always know whom we are dealing with, do we?
Lovely views and scenery, we repeat.
This is where the race track coincides with more than a little excitement and illusions. (Transfagarasan Highway.)
Take away the lack of language, the cultural issues, plus a few other minor points, and we're quite at home. No problem!
Much beauty in and part of the surroundings.
A Woman of Valor...more than an opinion...I believe.
Quite stunning positions for a country couple to visit...well, that's all we will be revealing today, folks. (Birds of a Feather.)
The Big Beautiful Carpathian Mountains never fail to impress.
Keep going, it's never as close as it seems or appears.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

And finally, "Hail to The CHIEF"..."I always read it as 'chef'."
The "Anti-Climax" of the also ran.

A Brief Selection of Photographs from Around Coastal San Diego.

The definition of having some fun.
Sunrise, Sunset, until tomorrow as night follows...
Early morning shows the way as we tower over the clouds...amazing feeling/s.
Not much to add, a lot to savor.
Does it get better...answered, yes, but with increasing effort.
The gentle shade covers the harsher aspects of nature.
Let the sunshine in, let it glow, let it calm.
Bomb scare...where is Jenni...anyone?
Terra Firma...I think...hope.
Jen knows how to weave the colors and avoid hiding.
Does it get better...only with the extra effort, also it's tougher.
At certain times, the environment even out does itself.
We have often been accused of wishing that all our 'ducks' are in a row.
Many are still cute despite the clean-up...um...mess...well...you know what we mean.
Could this be a landing from Mars' place; or is Dad moving some earth to the side?
Smart thinking, but there are the small aspects of getting back down for consideration ...just a small point.
Glorious section of the lake and with a view...note Jen sneaking up on the side...watch her.  
Lake Murray, a beauty. 
 Where's the sunshine?
Makes an underhand attack on a poor swimmer...is ugly.
Nothing's quite as vivid as Mary in the morning.
Glorious sight, well-conditioned.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey 


She is a brave girl, as she goes through the paces in La Jolla.

Trying to keep up with Jenni.
