LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Eastern Cape, South Africa: Storms River region.

'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.

38.08 & 38.09 South Africa: Giants Castle: A period in a unique part of the Drakensberg (as if it's not all unique.) Two hikes: Langalibalele Pass and Meandering Hut.

In the beginning...a long way to go.

Getting closer to destination.

A special place, manicured mountains and valleys with Jenni on the right.

Always look up and travel the same way...

A personal favorite from the second outing, the one to Meandering hut.

Another painting.

On a sister trail, a domesticated scene, three little ones provide the atmosphere not unlike that of human children.

Always ascending, sometimes more acutely than at other times.

The scenes are/were stunning.

Jen aligns with the backdrop.

The weather changed, for a change.

A herd of Eland, the largest antelope in Africa. From the way they darted from Jenni, not the bravest bunch, although Jenni can be rather tough ... ask me.
