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.
O
ur 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.

Whereas we continue to update the blog regularly, we circulate email notifications infrequently.

35.01 Argentina: San Carlos de Bariloche: Bella Vista Mountain hike.


This is the first in a new series which we have termed "Peak-Pics-Peek".

Rather than display our usual selection, more than ten photographs each blog, we thought we'd show a maximum of four. The idea is to provide some highlights of a region in general and the hike, in particular. As we have struggled with the concept of circulating viewers by email (although we have nevertheless undertaken it), we believe those wishing to receive our limited perspective of the world's beauty, need only link to the blog whenever the need arises, if ever. Because far fewer photographs and text will be published, the "Peak-Pics-Peek" will be updated every second day, perhaps 3 times per week. (We will update the blog in the original manner (full set of photographs) from time-to-time.

We are most grateful to a core of viewers who have inspired and motivated us and provided thoughtful and interesting perspectives, always keeping us on our toes. This has contributed to our development, we think. ('we think' qualifies 'development' rather than your input.)



From the peak some 2,800 feet above the trailhead, we take in a view of Lago Nahuel Huapi.




Shortly before the peak, we were treated to this display.




Some exploring at a high point on the peak.





"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" would have been a nice title. Better we type it than you hear me sing it.




In our short stay in Argentina thus far, we have shared some 'interesting' experiences. We'll try to mention a few as we progress (we hope). At times, we wonder whether we are in Spain, Andorra, Peru, Mexico or San Diego. However, there are distinct aspects of this country which negate our confusion in that regard.


Cheers,


Jenni and Jeffrey
