Lazarow World-Hike-About: Woodson in clouds again...farewell for a couple of months.

LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

South Africa: Devil's Peak: A bird's eye view of a section of Cape Town.

'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.

Woodson in clouds again...farewell for a couple of months.

Much to my surprise, our editor planned a last hike before we leave for Spain. Again, it was a
wonderful experience with even more clouding than over the last few weeks. Because the entrance we used
only opens at 6am, we were not able to achieve a sunrise view.

Team Benjamin-Lazarow-Josephson at training camp. With the Olympics a mere year away, the team prepares.
On the other hand, the team stays in shape as they conspire against their joint, formidable enemy—their parents
and our children...the old-age battle continues...we'll keep you posted should we survive.

Somewhat mesmerized by this scene at peak of Mount Woodson. Come to think of it, affected by most.

Clouds remains low as we approach the peak.

The always attractive Lake Poway, reflects the break through of the sun.

Boeing announces 787 with vertical take-off capability, big deal. Meantime, we remain alert
and 'on our toes'. We also readily admit the background is far more beautiful than foreground.
