LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT
Mount Tallac Peak, California; Lake Tahoe visible behind & left of Jenni...a challenging day.
'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.

21.15 Oahu farewell. Pillbox sunrise in Kailua.
For our last morning in Hawaii, we headed to the Pillbox in Kailua for some exercise and of course, a sunrise.
The previous day we had walked up, down and over sixteen hills along the ridge facing both the ocean and city.
The position of the sun, as will become obvious, changes the scenery immensely. However, you knew that.
On Golden Pond or maybe 'bronze'.
'Morning has broken, light the first...
There's the first appearance.
The next appearance.
The town and mountains behind us.
Even dead plants come alive when touched by sunrays.
Camera allows for recording of only one color.
Everything appears so gentle and calm.
A large and colorful sky.
Early morning calm at bay while background anything but gentle.
It's going to be another hot winter's day on the island.
A contrast with Manapouri Lake at dusk, one of the most beautiful bodies of water, together with mountain
backdrops, we have seen.
A glimpse of Manapouri
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
