LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nepal, Begnas: The Annapurna Mountain Range (part).

'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. 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.

Mount Miguel, Chula Vista, another tough climb and Double Peaks in Carlsbad/San Marcos



We enjoyed a tough hike up San Miguel Mountain in South-East San Diego County on new year's day.
This followed an even tougher El Capitan (El Cajon Mountain) hike the previous week. The only difference
in strenuousness between the two is that the latter is much longer, making it near brutal. These were
followed with a more gentle hike in the Carlsbad area to Double Peaks. The views from this mountain are wide,
deep and far-reaching.




Clouds return to San Diego after an extended break, covering the ocean.




Early sunset from Double Peaks, the clouds were fascinating, too. Helicopter flies past.





Jenni drops below San Miguel Peak.





Water on fire or should that be fire on water?





Sun still high but glistens 'silvery' on low clouds over the ocean.





San Diego, a very attractive city, viewed from San Miguel.





Balloons viewed from Double Peaks.





Rolling hills from San Miguel.




One more look towards the Pacific Ocean, early sunset. Denk Tank Mountain in foreground.



Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
