LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT
Argentina: Laguna de Los Tres.
'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.

"High and Low points" of Hike-about 24, mainly in video format.
It seems to be a tradition to launch a video on completion of each Hike-about segment. This time, however, we have six
unpublished hikes remaining but decided to go ahead and do the video. There are so many pictures that the selection
becomes a hit-or-miss affair. Invariably, we leave off some of the best shots and display the lesser ones. However,
we are fortunate that the beauty of the Western United States allows one to point a camera in the general direction
of the action and record it for posterity, or until we clean out our files and delete them. The rest of the world
is also remarkable in its visuals but as Jenni points out from time-to-time, I'm affected by the last region visited.
Apparently, unlike modern computers, the storage capacity of my brain cannot be upgraded or enlarged.
Following a few highlight photographs below, we present a video that captures only a small aspect of what amounted to
an incredible period within six western states. (Video follows the pictures below.)
Finally, to the many Russian viewers who have found our blog: Добро пожаловат
