LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT
Eastern Cape, South Africa: Storms River region.
'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 couple of 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 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that 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.

"Look Mom, no hands!"
After reloading the DVD player, we sped off into the sunshine, leaving Pagosa Springs behind. Soon thereafter, we entered New Mexico and made our traditional incorrect directional-turn. Now, don’t get me wrong! I am the official map-reader, I admit – but I have a very good excuse. You see, about a year ago, we decided to trade in our Taurus for a more reliable Ford Fusion. What impressed us at the time of purchase, was the fact that the Fusion came with an auto pilot/speed control gadget. What could be more suitable? So, as you can see from the picture above, Jeff is happily drinking his coffee, doing a little bit of business and our Fusion is supposed to be finding it’s way to Taos. I, of course, was happily sitting by engrossed in my knitting and listening to Air Supply on DVD. See – not my fault! We obviously forgot to inquire about a built-in GPS system when making the Fusion purchase.
