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.

44.20: Mostly, unpublished hikes from peaks and ridges in Pinnacles Park, California; Sedona and Williams, Arizona; and Las Vegas, Nevada.

This concludes publications from the sojourn through Nevada, Arizona and California. While many hikes were undertaken, only a relatively few pictures from many of the experiences made the blogs. It's quite amazing the depth of beauty and variation that exists in the wilderness. What's quite obvious is our lack of ability to capture that which we observe, more adequately. Nevertheless, somewhere in our minds and senses, rest these indelible images.


Williams, Arizona, gateway to Grand Canyon.



Commencing the ascent of Lava Butte, Las Vegas—a tough challenge without a trail.




At least and hour or more later. Lake Mead left, Lake Las Vegas right. This is a climb, during and after, a person knows he/she has been tested in many aspects.




On the way down—at times, it felt on the 'way-out'.




The way up is easier but not easy.




A view from the top.




The rocks of Sedona, Arizona heading to the 'submarine' but off-trail, for a change.




Pinnacles: On the way to Chalone Peak, water from nowhere.




A visit to the cathedral 'in Sedona, quite apt.




Some fun at the cathedral extension.




Distraction on the way to Chalone, the best kinds.




...and more distraction...excuse all the fun.




A 'pope or rabbi' bird.

Shots on the Chalone trail with an 'alligator' surfacing.








May the calm of the deserts descend upon and touch us all (and the symmetry, too).



Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
