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.

25.04 A Collection of photographs from the River Mountain hike near Lake Mead, Nevada.




Every now and again and even more seldom than that, we find a position that provides sights so gorgeous that
one can almost cry—sometimes tears do form but that usually happens upon arriving at the summit after a tough
climb or more frequently, when taking a backhander from the editor.

The photographs below (excluding the first one), and there were obviously many more, are taken from a perch along
the River Mountain hike and a couple of other positions in the vicinity of Boulder City, Nevada. A number
of earlier hikes, particular the latest couple from Nevada, were superb but our enthusiasm for this hike's visuals
made us jump the queue.




Previous day hike used for 'spacing purposes' (The Frenchman Mountain...a short-way up.)






Late afternoon in Boulder City, above Lake Mead.





A cloudy day in general and then the sun almost disappeared for a few minutes.





Part of the shoreline at Lake Mead.





Trying a different camera setting.




Sun finds a gap and lights a tiny part of the mountain ranges.





The only casino in the area, dwarfed by mountains. We're thinking of staying in it soon.




Sun takes a bold stand against the clouds above Boulder City.




Cheers,
