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.

46.14 Morro Bay: An hour at the beach after Valencia Peak.


Life can't be all fun, I mean, serious. There has to be a time for the dunes.

We returned to Morro Bay after 6 weeks in the Eastern Sierra Nevada region. Why would we leave? Spectacular period would not be the slightest exaggeration. Although there are many hikes still to come, a little difference in color, pace and location makes for a change.


Rolling up the sleeves before nearly rolling down the dune.







Imagine the task Jenni had in cleaning out his boots.



Ever so grateful I did not have to carry a beach umbrella and bar-b-que as well. Incredible position, experience and delightful.




One of the steepest short climbs on very soft sand. Did not resist the dare so it was my own fault...as always.



Facing a tough climb back.



Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
