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. 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.

46.09 Pollock Pines: Jenkinson Lake: A lighter day with a lucky break.
In the last posted blog, we opined we hadn't seen an eagle in a while. The last time was 3 years ago, somewhere between Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. The day following the previous blog posting, we spotted one flying over the lake and heading toward the trees. We followed it in a fashion, at ground level of course, and Jenni noticed it first. My eye caught what appeared to be a turkey vulture close by. Interestingly, a few ravens occupied the same tree as the eagle, something that surprised us. We thought the 'chief raptor' might intimidate those ugly birds. Ugliness knows no bounds.
'People have mentioned they like me to have varied poses—I quite like this position after early morning necking.'
'I enjoy my profile from this side, frankly. However, I suppose when you have it, it makes no difference. All my angles are beautiful and how about my eagle eye.'
Meantime, at lake level...
'Rocky' is at it again.
Can't resist 'getting all our ducks in a row'. Notice the precision. 'Have you any idea how long it took us to train these birds?' As an aside, you have no understanding how much chasing birds annoys Jennifer. (I can't believe my suffering.)
"I asked you fellas before. Please wait for me. I forgot to take my boots off. I'm a bit slow.
In the dry state of California, we've never seen so much water.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
