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.
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.

One man's purpose is clear: To serve Hashem and a Woman

Every now and again, or perhaps only once in a lifetime, a person realizes a fundamental truth of life. When that happens, the person should seize the opportunity to fulfill the calling. Over the last few years, one might even suggest 'an evolutionary' process has taken place within me. After contemplating whether to share this with our friends, I decided if nothing else, truth is paramount. In order to communicate it in a meaningful way, the pictorial sequence below does, I think, the trick.





First scene: A conversation half-way down in the Grand Canyon. An idea is born.
"Nu,do you know who you are?" asks the mule







Second scene: The process continues some years later. Are you developing?
Do you want to be Seabiscuit or Secretariat?






Scene 3: Finally understanding one's purpose
The well trained donkey...um husband



Having established purpose, one settles down to fulfill it...or carry her.
She ain't heavy, she's my brother...ah..wife.

Lucky mule...ah..man.
