Lazarow World-Hike-About

We had work to do, in need of a little rest, shopping chores to undertake and so only headed out by mid-afternoon for a hike in the snow, with the idea of 'catching' a sunset. As mentioned before, hiking in snow is slow-going but nevertheless, a delight. We saw sights that made it worthwhile, an understatement, if ever we made one. At one stage, we felt like intruders, the only humans watching preparations being made for the evening and night. Take a winter wonderland walk with us as we watch the sun settle, shadows cast, reflections off lakes, mountains at twilight—all close to Mono Pass and Rock Creek Canyon: (Click on a picture to enlarge, it's worthwhile) We hope you enjoyed the tranquility, mystery and isolation as much as we. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey

Hiking in the wilderness is not only about having a wonderful experience—there are some very serious aspects to consider. Below, we deal with a few of them. (Don't enlarge the pictures as the captions should be read to get an understanding of our earnestness) Goofing off on the Mount Whitney Trail—you thought she was always conscientious Typical hook...um hiker at start of Mount Whitney Trail. (Terrible but I could not resist) Preparing the 10 essential items per the hiker's unofficial guide. Unfortunately, 2 items missing—had to drink them en route. Definitely a lack of discipline A Chiropractor on every trail—this office with a view, too The well adjusted hiker: Mentally prepared with 10 items, and physically ready, following office visit above Guess who we miss so much—I really needed another boss in my life.
